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

I was there in February and can add some detail:

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

Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

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

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Did you feel safe in the red light areas?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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