Has anyone been to East Coast recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers

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

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