Premium experiences in Bangkok

Planning my first trip to Bangkok in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.

My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?

I'm coming from the US and have experience in Europe but this would be my first time in Bangkok.

Thanks for any help!

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

Saving this thread for my trip planning. Gold mine of information.

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

Been going for years. The scene has improved recently.

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

Did you use dating apps or find girls at online?

Quick question — how was the wifi?

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

Nice report. Heading there next month — exactly the intel I needed.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

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