Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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 a different neighborhood to be better.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

How's the nightlife there compared to Thailand?

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

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