Been thinking about visiting Frankfurt 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.

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $138/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
