SolidA good base with real trade-offs. You will get around, but not everywhere effortlessly, and either daily costs, safety, or the wider country picture asks for some care. Read the three pools before you book: they tell you whether to budget more, stay central, or keep an eye on the news.
Getting around is easy: the areas most visitors use are walkable and linked by transit, so a central base keeps the main sights close. Day to day, prices run well below US levels. Personal safety is mixed, so stay street-smart after dark. In Thailand, political stability is low, so follow the news close to your dates. The economy is steady. Income is fairly evenly shared. The press works under some pressure.
