Krabi, Solo travel
I mainly went to Krabi for the food and water activities, I went on island hopping tour and kayaking where you could just easily go to the booths nearby and book it for the next day, very convenient. They do have many other options as well so you can just pick an activity that suits you. I went to the AoNang nightmarket buy this time not many stores were opened (not sure if it was because it was off season) but still the food was great. I stayed at Ao Nang Viva Resort, and the location is good as it was walking distance to the nightmarket and to the beach.

Thailand is the first international trip I took independently with a friend of mine, and the experience was wonderful. Thai people are the sweetest, the food is excellent, the activities are amazing, and the shopping is cheap and fun. We covered three places, Phuket, Krabi and Bangkok, and each place had such a different vibe. We really enjoyed exploring old Town Phuket, the Island tour at Krabi, and Chatuchak market and cooking classes in Bangkok. The best part was the SAFETY. We never once felt threatened or on alert. We got a female cab driver at night which made us feel extra safe. I wish to visit Thailand again and maybe cover the northern cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. ❤️ Thailand is a must visit country, they hype on social media is absolutely worth it.

Phuket, Family travel
I really loved Phuket! I also visited Bangkok and Pattaya a year later, but Phuket was my favorite! I would say that activities are kinda expensive, but it’s okay. I traveled with my family, so I would say it’s a good place for a family vacation Food was good, Thai massage is great and cheap, Drag Queen Show was amazing as well!

There is so much to say about this marvellous country. Each city is different; the people are very kind, the food is amazing, and there are plenty of shopping places to discover and experiences to enjoy. Everything is easy to do, buy, find, and live. I definitely love this country.

I could not recommend Thailand enough for a girls first solo trip! There is something for everyone from the north connecting with nature, to the south with the stunning beaches and the people are so welcoming and the food is delicious!! Honestly perfect for a lively trip!

I feel very safe, even at night. People are kind and helpful. At most I’ve experienced some catcalling a couple of times, which unfortunately seems inescapable. Of course, one should always have their wits about them but I find it safer than most places I’ve been to

It’s really safe overall the only time I feel unsafe is in Khao San road but it’s because people are gripping you from everywhere. I went to multiple places i come back home most of the drunk and nothing happened

I've walked solo and taken public transportation and taxi's solo all around Chiang Mai, sometimes as late (or early) as 4am. I have never once felt in danger in this city. The absolute worst I've experienced is some base level catcalling like "you're pretty" in a very crowded area.

It’s a bustling city full of activity, yet if you look closely, there’s a surprising amount of peace. Most people go about their own lives, keeping to themselves and rarely noticing what others are doing.

A big city yes. But safe compared to western counterparts, for sure! Bustling and lots going on but really it’s mostly tourist and locals trying to make their way. Of course be careful and witty but if you are westerner you will for sure be confident
