Just returned from 12 days in East Coast. Overall a great trip.
Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $45/night. Clean and walking distance to everything.
The scene is solid. Prices were slightly higher than last time compared to my last visit.
Girls were better quality than expected. Had 10 encounters total.
Food was cheap and delicious. Street food was incredible.
Will definitely return. Happy to answer questions.

This info might be outdated. Things changed since last year. Prices are about the same now.

First time there was great thanks to forum advice. Second time I knew the ropes and it was so much more efficient. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.

Been there 15+ times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Interesting but I think you overpaid. Try asking locals next time.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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