Planning my first trip to Living in Thailand. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Germany?
5. Uber or taxi?

Coming from the UK with experience in Europe but first time in Living in Thailand.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Do your research, respect the locals, stay safe. — Northern Lights

Did you use dating apps or find girls at online?

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
