Thailand, Solo travel

I felt safe majority of the time. There were a couple situations where I felt unsafe but this was quickly resolved by ordering a grab taxi out of the area. Walking alone at night is acceptable. Thai people are friendly and hospitable, and will go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need, make your stay as comfortable as possible. I stayed in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pai, Krabi and overall Chiang Mai was the winner for me. There’s a great balance of history, culture, cafes, music, nature, waterfalls so you’ll never be bored!

Bangkok, Solo travel

Food in Bangkok is amazing, I ate at the most street area, visually of course it’s not like in the restaurant, but taste unbelievable. For me personally I felt very safe here, a lot of people says it’s not safe for solo girl to travel here, but I disagree so far.

Thailand was a very beautiful trip, the people are very welcoming and you feel completely safe. The landscapes are magnificent, their culture and their dishes are delicious. Everything is very cheap there, the activities are super interesting, we traveled from Bangkok to Krabi and to the islands up to Phuket.

Bangkok

Bangkok has been an intense and unexpected experience for me. The city is vibrant, loud, full of color and culture, but also chaotic and overwhelming at times. The temples are beautiful, but the constant crowds, traffic, and pushy vendors made it hard for me to relax and enjoy the moment. It’s a place with incredible energy, but also one that can drain you if you’re not prepared for the fast pace. I’m grateful for what I’ve seen, but I’m definitely looking forward to exploring calmer places in Thailand.

Never had a bad experience here, been here for 2 years. People are very kind and helpful. In Thailand in general, as long as you stay away from red light districts and tourist filled clubs and bars, you should have nothing but positive experiences.

Bangkok

I rarely leave the house because I don’t like big cities, but I can’t leave yet, but all the exits were safe, people look friendly and don’t pay much attention to you, many will help if you get into trouble

I like Bangkok, somehow I feel in Bangkok much safer than in Berlin 😅 here is a lot of tourists. Locals are respectful to the tourists which makes you feel more welcoming and warm by walking on the streets.
