How safe is Thailand?
Bangkok
You can travel alone because Thai people are very kind and polite. But you must maintain basic safety, such as not asking for directions from strangers, but only asking for directions from officials.

Pretty safe for traveller who travel alone. You can use public transport safely and easyliy. Street food and all the restaurants are safe. Hotels and hostels are also safe for everyone. Just be careful when walking on the street some street water drains are broken

Chiang Mai
Comparing Chiang Mai to many cities Iāve been in Russia, itās the safest place for me: I know that no one want to cause me any harm, even when Iām walking alone at night. Im not even locking my apartmentās door, cause I donāt feel like I need to. I wouldnāt do that in Russia ever. No matter what clothes Imm wearing, Iām not getting any extra attention, aggressive or violent, only things I hear ā itās cheerful compliments, thatās it.

Nakhon Si Thammarat
I have only been here for 3 days so I honestly don't know, but the family I live with hasn't exactly warned me against going out or anything, they said they would walk through town with me tomorrow and when I went to the shopping centre I was totally fine.

Phaya Thai
I would say Thailand in general and phaya Thai is an overall good and safe place especially for woman like me. I'm comfortable and when I walk outside there are no eyes on me making me feel awkward or unsafe.

I think it's better not to walk alone at night. there are a lot of drunk people in the city center. there are a lot of dogs on the outskirts. I think only tourists can be unsafe. women are often mistaken for prostitutes. Cab rides seem to be quite safe

I always leave my scooter unlocked and nothing happens. Girls can hung out safely at night. Chiang Rai is pretty safe, especially around Mae Fah Luang. Iāve been living here for a year and have never lost anything.

It is safe and beautiful here, as a woman you can travel and feel safe. People are friendly. I did not had one thing, which made me feel unsafe, you can chill at the beach, there is not a lot of partys, once a week and I attend once it was fine.

It is very safe for such a large metropolitan city. Be sensible. I find it to be exceptionally peaceful once away from Sukhumvit area. Most of the nonsense is not directed at women. Even parks are public and safe at night.

Bangkok, Solo travel
I felt surprisingly safe in Bangkok. Of course the general rules as a solo female traveler still count. Be aware in big crowds and at night. Donāt go into dodgy allies and I guess donāt stay out until too late

Krabi Province, Couple travel
Krabi was the highlight of my trip to Thailand, although everywhere was incredible, Krabi was a great balance of everything; activities, partying, exploring, island hopping, jungle, temples and food. I travelled with my besty and we both felt so at ease and relaxed. People might not always speak english but they are so friendly and eager to please.
