Planning my first trip to Border Towns and wanted the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Safety concerns
4. Quality compared to the Philippines?
Any recent reports appreciated. Thanks.

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