thailand truly was a dream. this country definitely has a great reputation for a reason! 🩵 the landscapes were amazing and breathtaking I have found it really easy to make friends in this country since there are a lot of travelers. The food is beyond what you are expecting I assure you hahaha. I would totally recommend thailand for a women solo traveling and even for a first solo trip. I felt really safe.

Bangkok is an amazing place to start your journey in Thailand or South East Asia in general! Lots to do and it is easy to meet new people! Even at night I felt very safe! Definitely check out one of the rooftop bars, the view is really worth it
Posted: August 4, 2024Felt very safe as a woman alone, plenty of great things to do, even if it's just walking around the city , great food, good, cheap, accommodation. Locals are very friendly and getting around is easy just waking!

Seriously a safe and amazing island to explore all sorts of lifestyles from beachy and relaxed to fancy and dressed up. Safe for a woman because it is guys who have to worry about being chased by lady boys most of the times

My first solo trip in Asia, and it was incredible! I was very scared to go solo, but as soon as I landed in Bangkok, and checked in in my hostel, that disappeared. I was so well received by dozens of other solo travelers. There’s always some activity happening and group going out, so you don’t really feel alone. I traveled from north to south, and checked some cool spots. What I would say is: the islands of the southeast side should be your N1 priority. They are gorgeous, way less crowded and more natural. It’s just breathtaking, cheap and a good vibe. I did Chiang Mai in the north, which was  amazing because of the festival of flowers that it was happening, but the islands in the south or way better. Phuket is not very nice (older Russian everywhere…). Phi phi island was cool for the diving, the excursions and the parties, but zero nature in the island. Definitely go and enjoy! I feel like is one of the best places to solo travel as a women in Asia. Felt really safe (stayed in female rooms in hostels, only went out at night in groups - with at least one female, etc)
Posted: July 25, 2024I've never felt safer than in Bangkok, and Thai people are the most friendly ppl, I recommend visiting Bangkok when you come to Thailand, for more than a few days, 3 days isn't enough to discover the city.

Safest country in South East Asia by far. I lived there for 4 years including the time during Covid. The culture, food, nature and travel community is what inspired me to live there for so long. I studied Buddhism & yoga in-depth as well as cultivated the courage to facilitate others in yoga & meditation. Forever grateful for that experience

Koh Tao was amazing! I meet a lot of woman solo traveler! It’s a safe place to travel alone ! It’s cheap and a small island! I stay there 4 weeks and I really enjoy it! Go go go go! 100% recommended!
Posted: July 16, 2024felt very safe as a female traveller, met lots of cool people and had a great time exploring the beautiful beach town, every activity from snorkelling to chilling was great! if you like you can even go out and have a beer at one of the beach clubs, never felt anxious about travelling alone!
Posted: July 12, 2024I did feel safe. Our must go place during the weekend is Chatuchak market. Highly recommended to go early so it is not so hot. The place is huge and be prepared to be sweaty and sticky shopping around.. there’s now a new mall that’s open right next to the market. A new alternative to cool down after being hot outside the market :)

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.

I traveled with my boyfriend but I would also come here as a solo traveler. But its Hard to get in Touch with Other travelers because there are Not much hostels on the Island. The beaches are stunning and the Food delicious.

Thailand was fun. We stayed in Phuket for most of the stay. We wanted the beach and to party. It’s a great place for that, it’s inexpensive to travel there and you find very nice people in the hostels if that’s the kind of travels you like. Great beginner place to travel in Asia
