Quick question for the Thailand regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Been going for years. The scene has improved recently.

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
