Been thinking about visiting Thailand and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Germany?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
