Visited General Information for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $150/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
