Been thinking about visiting Bangkok 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 Colombia?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

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

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

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

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.
