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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

Different experience for me. Prices were higher when I went.
