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

Thailand trip report — 10 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Had a driver arranged. Hotel was exactly what I needed.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Prices seemed fair.
Days 3-12: Found my favorite spots. Found my rhythm. The downtown area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $30-60 range. Pay asking price — it's fair.
Tips: Be respectful and tip well.
Return? Definitely, now in my regular rotation.
