Quick question for the Bangkok regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Best time to visit Bangkok

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

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $128/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
