Living in Thailand — 10 day trip report

Returned from 12 days in Living in Thailand. Great trip overall.

Accommodation:
Mid-range Airbnb near the main area. $48/night. Walking distance to everything.

Scene:
Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were fair for the quality.

Quality:
Varied — some great, some average. Had 5 encounters total.

Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Food was cheap and delicious.

Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.

Overall: 7/10. Good destination, recommend for first-timers.

Happy to answer any questions.

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

+1 on this. Exactly my experience too. Solid destination.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

Quick question — how was the transport?

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

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

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

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