Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.
