Phuket was a dream dipped in sunscreen and mango smoothies! We stayed at Mazi Design Hotel (cute & central), lounged on beaches, shopped like queens, and hit the marine park for a James Bond moment at Maya Bay. Felt totally safeāeven the tuk-tuk rides were a thrill! Budget-wise, I kept it mid-rangeāsplurged on seafood, saved on shopping. Pro tip: skip over-hyped clubs, chill at the beach instead. Grab a Grab (app!) to get aroundāeasy peasy. Would I go back? Already mentally packing.

I worked at a school for 6 weeks and stayed at the hotel next to the rajhabat (university) the area is so so safe and locals are just amazing. There are very few foreigners but the locals made it feel like home. I will be going back again this year!

Highly recommend travelling to Bangkok Thailand! I loved the food, especially for whatever reason the Carbonars Pizza at Pizza hut. Hands down best pizza of my life. Secondly please go to any Eat Am Are franchise and do yourself a favour by ordering the pork steak, my boyfriend and i wanna go back for just that cuz it was divine.

I can walk around at night by myself which is great. There are no catcallers, I can leave my stuff in the open and nobody would bother to touch it. It's a great place to go solo or in a group. Just be respectful with the people and your behavior, because they're very spiritual
Posted: March 17, 2025Khao Lak, Family travel
Weāve been to Khao Lak a few times now and we love it. The locals a pretty nice and helpful. But with prices for taxis and certain things make sure that you decide on the price before you go or purchase something. Weāve stayed at sentido, the sands and X10. Our favourite is X10. We usually spend each day by the pool. Go to the market when itās on and a tour to the top of the mountain. We usually have breakfast with the buffet included and dinner we go out to local restaurant. The food safety i isnāt as important there so check your food as my sister once got raw chicken satays. But I love the place and would love to go back again!

- super safe - food is just amazing -amazing sunsets over the beach -do not miss the boat tours that goes to 4-5 different islands, it's the best - you can get a diving certificate for so cheap compared to europe - best way to get around is to rent a motorcycle and it is very cheap - the nature is amazing make sure to always look out for monkeys and other animals there are so many didferent species - try to visit ethical elephant sanctuaries rather than the ones where you ride the elephant

I travel Thailand for one month and it was such an amazing experience. If youāre going to solo travel Thailand is definitely the top on list. Itās great for making new friends staying in hostels are very inexpensive. I would recommend the south islands. Koh Tao is my favorite island it was more expensive because itās an island, but it was great for Partying and also relaxing you can do scuba diving there and thereās lots of good restaurants and great ways to meet new people

love a good khao soi, anywhere you can get it :) I stayed at the Pula hotel, right next to Si Lom station, very conventionally to get here by public transport. The room is spacious, but nothing special. just wander around and soak in all the hustle and bustle bangkok has to offer š

I used to walk at night and felt very safe. There is a super low crime level and tourist police always check in so the whole community is very good there especially for foreigners as there arenāt many you wonāt be a target.

I was really afraid going to Thailand as a solo female traveler but it was a really safe place to be. In Chiang Mai I felt always safe and people are kind, they didnāt want to ask for more money. Even in the night when I walked several times, I didnāt have any problems. Especially in the Old town.
