Been thinking about visiting Pattaya 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.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

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