Chiang Mai — local girls vs agencies

Has anyone been to Chiang Mai recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene

I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

Been going for years. Scene has stayed consistent.

Can confirm. Was there recently and everything checks out.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
