As someone new to Thailand having had my first visit in February, with my second comming in November and then February again I dont have the history that most on this forumn have. I can only say that I found the prices to be excelent for me, compared to the UK, and it was not just the bars and boys but just the general feeling of being so relaxed and having a holiday. I suppose its what your used to paying and for newcomers like me i still see it as bargin prices.
i am in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh, for the first time for 16 nights later this year and it will be interesting to see what is the same and different from the knowledge I have after 1 visit to Bangkok.
Just to say reading these forumns before my first trip made it so much more enjoyable.
