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 last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
