based on 7 experiences from female travelers
I spent a solitary 4.5 months traveling around Southeast Asia and visited Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bali, and I enjoyed them all. I would definitely recommend Cambodia. Especially the Koh Rong islands - they are geographically close to the popular Thai islands, but they are much less spoiled and amazing thanks to sections of white beaches and crystal blue ocean!
Posted: November 19, 2022I just returned after 2.5 months in Southeast Asia (Thailand -> Cambodia -> Vietnam -> Bali -> Thailand), which is practically what you are doing. I can initially say that it was absolutely amazing and I felt very safe the whole time (an 18-year-old solo female), although I spent a lot of time on organised group tours, which greatly facilitated the entire experience.
Posted: November 12, 2022I loved Vietnam (my favorites are the Mekong Delta, Hoi An and Ha Long Bay (you can live on the islands there)) and Sumatra (check out Lake Maninjau and the orangutan sanctuary in Bukit Lawang). Don't book too far in advance, that way you can stay longer in the places you will love and vice versa.
Posted: November 11, 2022Southeast Asia is the perfect place for solo backpacking trips. Everyone is so friendly in hostels and open to meeting new people. I would recommend occasionally staying at party hostels, because the people staying there are usually very friendly and open to meeting people and having fun! I was traveling for 3 months and here are my main points: - Bali (Canggu and Ubud), Gili Trawangan (island near Bali), - Thailand (Chang Mai, Pai, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Phangan) - Cambodia (Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Kampot, Koh Rong) - Vietnam (Ha Long Bay, Hoi An)
Posted: August 31, 2022I've been traveling all over Southeast Asia for over 6 months! My travel plan: Thailand > Cambodia > Vietnam > Laos. I've met a lot of solo travelers backpacking through Southeast Asia and they are thrilled with every minute. There's so much to do, affordable for any budget, and it's really one of the most magical places on Earth.

I’m an ex-corporate girlie turned full-time traveler, now rooted in Pune, Maharashtra—with my heart still in my hometown, Jaipur, Rajasthan. I’m deeply passionate about food—whether it’s cooking up a comforting home-style meal or discovering hidden local gems. I love cooking sharing the rich flavors of Indian cuisine, especially Maharashtrian, Rajasthani, and North Indian dishes. I host women for free because I believe travel in India should feel joyful, safe, and soul-nourishing. My home with three cats and two guitars —a cozy, welcoming space where you can truly experience culture, connection, and comfort
