Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

How's the daytime scene there compared to Thailand?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.
