Has anyone been to General Discussion 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 last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Is General Discussion worth visiting?

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

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

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

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