Thailand, Solo travel

I’ve always loved Thailand especially as a solo traveling female… it really is a very safe place for women compared to other places… the nature is absolutely stunning and the cities are so much fun! I don’t love the general islands so much (I like to call them Disneyland for drunk adults) but there are some hidden gems where you can have just as much fun

Ko Samui, Group travel

Spent four nights here at Ko Samui! Beautiful island with friendly people! This was a great place to relax and laze around the pool or jump into ocean! I felt safe at all times, did not feel any danger at all.

Chiang Mai, Solo travel

Felt very safe as a woman alone, plenty of great things to do, even if it's just walking around the city , great food, good, cheap, accommodation. Locals are very friendly and getting around is easy just waking!

phu*ket, Solo travel

Seriously a safe and amazing island to explore all sorts of lifestyles from beachy and relaxed to fancy and dressed up. Safe for a woman because it is guys who have to worry about being chased by lady boys most of the times

Thailand, Solo travel

My first solo trip in Asia, and it was incredible! I was very scared to go solo, but as soon as I landed in Bangkok, and checked in in my hostel, that disappeared. I was so well received by dozens of other solo travelers. There’s always some activity happening and group going out, so you don’t really feel alone. I traveled from north to south, and checked some cool spots. What I would say is: the islands of the southeast side should be your N1 priority. They are gorgeous, way less crowded and more natural. It’s just breathtaking, cheap and a good vibe. I did Chiang Mai in the north, which was  amazing because of the festival of flowers that it was happening, but the islands in the south or way better. phu*ket is not very nice (older Russian everywhere…). Phi phi island was cool for the diving, the excursions and the parties, but zero nature in the island. Definitely go and enjoy! I feel like is one of the best places to solo travel as a women in Asia. Felt really safe (stayed in female rooms in hostels, only went out at night in groups - with at least one female, etc)

Bangkok, Solo travel

I've never felt safer than in Bangkok, and Thai people are the most friendly ppl, I recommend visiting Bangkok when you come to Thailand, for more than a few days, 3 days isn't enough to discover the city.

Thailand, Solo travel

Safest country in South East Asia by far. I lived there for 4 years including the time during Covid. The culture, food, nature and travel community is what inspired me to live there for so long. I studied Buddhism & yoga in-depth as well as cultivated the courage to facilitate others in yoga & meditation. Forever grateful for that experience

Chiang Rai

It is a smaller, rural city filled with beautiful temples. There are number of other travellers and expats living there as well. I have felt safe in Chiang Rai (and all over Thailand for that matter), as the people are very warm, welcoming and friendly, as one would expect in a predominately Buddhist country.

Bangkok

Very safe you can walk alone at night but just be smart. What's not safe is the sidewalk because they're not well made. They're made to break down shortly for corruption procurement. Traffic can be quite heavy in many areas and Thais do not respect road rules so you could get hit by anything any time.

Thailand, Solo travel

Thailand was fun. We stayed in phu*ket for most of the stay. We wanted the beach and to party. It’s a great place for that, it’s inexpensive to travel there and you find very nice people in the hostels if that’s the kind of travels you like. Great beginner place to travel in Asia
