How safe is Thailand for solo female travelers?

Speaking of Thailand, I would say it’s the perfect starting point for exploring Southeast Asia. Almost every backpacker starts their first Asian trip in Thailand. It’s kind of the gateway to Southeast Asia. When it comes to safety, Thailand is generally quite safe, especially because it’s such a popular tourist destination. Of course, you should use common sense and avoid getting yourself into trouble, but generally speaking, it’s a comfortable country to travel around, even as a solo...

Three months ago, I went to Bangkok. I booked the flights maybe five weeks out and it was my last choice of last-minute destinations, ironically. It was my first fully solo trip outside of Europe in over ten years and some other issues had me worried about my experience but I truly had the most phenomenal time and now it’s one of my favourite cities in the world! I wasn’t expecting to love it. I’m not a fan of overly touristic places, the city felt a bit chaotic the first few days - although...

Kathu, Phuket is pretty nice. You have plenty of options to stay in a lovely condo. Also it is not so far to patong and the beach, if you wanna party. You can do it all. It feels overall safe. Also in case you go there in the rainy season, in kathu floatings are unlikely.

Very easy and accessible to travel as a woman. People are always polite and willing to help. I've traveled to different locations in Thailand (Bangkok, Koh Chang, Pattaya, Koh Lan, Koh Samui, Similian Islands, Phuket, Koh Phi phi). I felt safe at every destination except from Pattaya.

I was with my family. We were just passing through on our way to Bali. We spent two days exploring Bangkok. It’s a gorgeous, modern city with plenty of places to take photos and go for a walk. I’d definitely love to come back. We visited the Bearbrick Museum.

We spent two weeks with my mum and sister in Phuket. Very beautiful nature and friendly people here. We also got a tour to Phi phi islands, visited several sceneric islands, swam with fluorescent plankton at night, visited Phang Nga and Cheo lan lake.

Great time in Bangkok, as always 👌🏽 Weather was good, food was delicious and people were so kind. I loved to wander the streets of this urban city again. Did also some very good finds in local markets, at least Chatuchak market is a must!

It’s a super cool place to hang out; I never for a second thought that my safety was at risk. Great people and an incredible creative community. The food was very tasty, and the transportation was comfortable.

Thailand is absolutely lovely, very safe and drinks are cheap. The people are really nice and helpful and for getting around i recommend Grab and MoveMe. Easy to use and convenient. The food is absolutely delicious! Smaller villages will also welcome you and they love to meet foreigners.

My experience in Thailand was amazing! I felt incredibly safe throughout my trip, and I absolutely fell in love with the food. I enjoyed it so much that I visited Thailand twice this year. The locals were kind and welcoming, and I loved exploring the street food scene(I sorta travel for food😅). I was also impressed by how convenient and efficient the metro system was, which made getting around so easy.

Kathu District
Haven’t felt unsafe here. I have been walking around during the day by myself and no one has made me feel uncomfortable, i have not seen any crime also. Areas usually have a good amount of people around.

It’s very safe for me. I’m not worried that what I left or forgot will be lost. Bangkok people are quite kind and easy to smile. If there is any problem, Thai people are always ready to help you. And I hope everyone can have a good experience in Bangkok like I get.

Walked alone at night a lot, I felt really safe all the time. Always be careful, but in my opinion Bangkok is really safe for solo traveling females. Locals are mostly so welcoming, helpful and kind.

You can be yourself in Bangkok. There is no need to worry about crime, theft, or anything like that. The locals appreciate tourists and are naturally people-oriented. If you have a problem, they can help you without any trouble.

Pretty safe here. In the city center normally we stay home after 20.00. The day time starts early since 6.00. during this time everywhere around this area is so safe for sure. Feel free to visit Ayutthaya city.

As any capital, be careful with the strangers and avoid being alone in the dark places at odd hours. Besides that, it is the safest city I have been to. I have nothing to complain about. Download the app Grab before arriving or just arriving. It saves a lot in this city, you can request from a moto taxi to a car taxi, food, coffee, anything,and you can pay in cash or you can add your credit/debit card, in case you don't have cash.
