Has anyone been to Living in Thailand recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Germany.
Cheers

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
