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 last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

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

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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