Solo travel experience
I visited Thailand for two weeks and I enjoyed it so much. I went north to south. I slept in hostels and felt very safe, except for the mosquitoes attacking me.

Thailand is an amazing country with incredibly kind locals. I stayed in Bangkok and Koh Samui. I felt very, very safe. Highly recommend the Grab app for ordering transportation. It's just like Uber. You know the driver's identity and the price prior to the ride.

I did 16 days of solo traveling in Thailand. Felt super safe and people were very kind and friendly. I even walked alone at night and took solo tours. I ate everything. My travel doctor suggested eating street food because it is all fresher and high turnover vs restaurants with huge menus where the food likely isn’t fresh. Thailand was very affordable.

Phuket is amazing but it seems a bit too touristy , as in the culture seems to be washed over by the need to appeal to tourists. The food is good but you have to be weary when eating street food. Overall it’s cheap and affordable on a budget. The people are very friendly.

Solo travel experience
Thailand was my first long solo trip (5 weeks) and first solo trip outside of Eruope and I couldn't recommend a better place. Firstly, there are dozens of other solo female travellers or groups willing to adopt you so you will never be alone if you don't want to be. Secondly, it is extremely safe - of course be cautious as you would anywhere else, but I never felt unsafe even walking around at night alone. Finally and most importantly there's so much to see and do whatever your interest so book now! I'd highly recommend Chiang Mai and Khao Sok National Park

I’ve always felt safe in Thailand. People are kind, nature is stunning, they speak English, and are very used to solo traveling women. Good and very affordable hostels too and a lot of other solo travelers.

I traveled solo to Thailand and I felt much safer there than in my home city. It's a beautiful place with amazing food, and also I feel it's one of the places that I think are ideal for traveling alone, with a lot of solo travelers everywhere with a very friendly attitude.

I went on my first solo trip to Thailand. I was backpacking around SEA for 3 months, landing and starting in Bangkok. Thailand has a huge tourism industry so the country is built up a lot for it. There are tons of other visitors from around the world in Thailand, if you stay in hostels you'll meet a lot of solo travelers. The food is delicious, everything is cheap, the landscapes are beautiful, and you can get by with English.

I've been to Thailand lots of times and never felt unsafe. It's very affordable, with good street food and lots of solo travelers. I love the islands too. I have spent only like 1000€ for a month.

Solo travel experience
Thailand is such a beautiful and safe country ! I really recommend to go solo travelling over there because there are many solo backpackers and especially women. There is also many many things to do, from the paradisiac islands to the mountains in the north, everything is breathtaking ! The food is also 💯 !!! And it’s an affordable country as well.

About Me
Hi everyone! I’m a 28-year-old Thai who lives near Bangkok. MBTI: INTJ Enneagram: 5w4 I love going on day trips around Bangkok with my family and friends. I found that there are many magical places in Bangkok that many people haven’t visited yet. So, it would be my pleasure to share them and spend time there with you. If you want a local who can recommend some great places and awesome activities around Bangkok, I am very pleased to recommend you or be your trip buddy! Besides, I graduated from the faculty of liberal arts in Thai language. If you want a native can teach you some basic Thai, I am very glad to meet you too! My English may be not good enough to communicate with you in all contexts, but I am eager to learn more. 😃
