Just returned from 12 days in Thailand. Great trip overall.
Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $36/night. Clean and close to everything.
The scene is busy. Prices ranged from very affordable compared to my last visit.
Girls were varied — some great, some average. I had 8 encounters over the trip.
Food was cheap and delicious. Street food was the highlight.
Will definitely be back. Happy to answer questions.

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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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

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

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

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

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