Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

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

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls online?

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