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.
Posted: August 3, 2024Very 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.
Posted: July 14, 2024This is one of the most cities I’ve visited so far in Asia. Men are not cat calling girls and I’ve always feel safe here. I also love that services like Grab offer an option for ladies only, this means I can feel even more safe by taking a cab at night because I know there will be a woman driving.

The island is not very touristy, not a lot of people and locals are nice. Most don’t speak english but they will do anything to help you if you have a problem. I never felt unsafe with anyone. Only problem is that in secluded areas it’s’ very dark and a bit scary.

A beautiful and relax city. You have a lot of activities and market to visit here. I’ve been here for at least 2 weeks and I felt safe walking on the street and the food is cheap and delicious. I totally recommend to come to Chiang Mai

I've never had any issues here. It's of course got the regular thieves and whatnot but compared to most other places it's extremely safe! I live here as a solo female and haven't experienced any issues.
Posted: June 4, 2024I been here for a few days now and even tho the place is kinda crowded, I haven’t experienced any dangerous situations here. No cat calling or anything. People are kind and friendly, so this is definitely a good place to visit if you’re a solo traveller.
Posted: June 3, 2024Thailand is very very safe and cosy. Food is great people are friendly, Kohphangan is one of the bet places on earth.you can ask anyone on the street what you are looking for and everywhere is good restaurants and yoga schools
Posted: May 31, 2024I felt very safe in Ohuket. I’ve lived there for half a year, and never experienced any unsafe moments. I liked walking alone at night, especially in busier areas. Never did I have the feeling that someone would rob me. Also, people never catch called or anything.

I have been living in Bangkok for over 15 years now. I would say it is pretty safe for solo traveling, it is safe for a lady. However, beware of surrounding environment and people, do not go to dark spots alone should be keep in mind.
