Been thinking about visiting General Information and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Thailand?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $121/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

This matches my experience. General Information is underrated.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $76/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience there last month.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.
