Back from Bangkok. 5-day trip. Here's my breakdown:
Accommodation: Guesthouse near the action. $40/night.
Scene: Better than expected.
Prices: about average.
Highlights: Found a hidden gem bar off the strip.
Overall: 7/10.
Ask me anything.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. Maybe timing matters.

Did you feel safe using taxis?
