Quick question for the Bangkok regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

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