Been thinking about visiting Thailand 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 the Philippines?

Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is outdated info IMO.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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $62/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

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

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

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

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

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
