Has anyone been to Living in Thailand 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 decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Did you use an agency or find girls at the hotel?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?
