Living in Thailand trip report — 3 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Uber worked great. Hotel was basic but good location.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Got some good intel from a local.
Days 3-14: Found my favorite spots. Found my rhythm. The downtown area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $100-200 for premium. Better deals during the week.
Tips: Be respectful and tip well.
Return? Yes, maybe try a different area.

Been there 15+ times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Thanks for posting this. The forum has been quiet on Living in Thailand lately so this is welcome intel.
