Planning my first trip to General Information. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Thailand?
5. How is the language barrier?

Coming from the US with experience in Southeast Asia but first time in General Information.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

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

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
