Is Thailand safe for solo female travelers?

Thailand is generally safe for solo female travelers. However, exercising common sense and staying aware of the surroundings are important. The locals are friendly and helpful, but, as in any place, it's important to be cautious of who to trust. Be careful with belongings and avoid venturing out alone at night, especially in quieter areas. Majority of the people are respectful, friendly and will help if you're in need.

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

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

About me

Hi! My name is Anastasia 🌸 I’m originally from Moscow, Russia, but now I live in Thailand on the island of Phuket, working as a marketing specialist in international real estate. Traveling is my lifestyle ✈️ I’ve just come back from Tanzania, currently staying in Turkey, and soon I’m planning trips to France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. I’d love to meet new girlfriends and like-minded women to explore together and share experiences. I’m an optimistic, cheerful, and kind person. Life on the road taught me to be easy-going and always open to new adventures. I already have friends all over the world, and I’m excited to expand this circle especially with creative, inspiring people who see the world with wide-open eyes 🌍💫 If you ever come to Thailand, I’ll be happy to welcome you in Phuket, show you around, and share all the best local spots 🏝️
