Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
