Returned from 6 days in Living in Thailand. Solid experience.
Accommodation:
Serviced apartment near the main area. $51/night. Good location, basic amenities.
Scene:
About what the forum described. Prices were slightly higher than expected.
Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 3 encounters total.
Logistics:
Transport was easy — Uber/Grab works well. Found great local restaurants.
Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.
Overall: 8.5/10. Would definitely return.
Happy to answer any questions.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
