Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls through referrals?

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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

How's the nightlife there compared to Germany?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

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.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was an agency I found online.

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