Just returned from my birthday trip at the beginning of the month. The city is booming right now and has fully recovered from the pandemic. People are ready to party and all the ladies have returned from the countryside. I've been going regularly for the last 25 years, a lot has changed over that time but the mongering experience is well document and lives up to its reputation. The scene this last trip was as active as my early trips in the late 90s.
I am planning a trip to Thailand this summer and yes, I've heard from people that "Women in Thailand are like a box of chocolates, you never know which one has nuts."
