My Solo Trip to Thailand (April 22 - May 6, 2025) I felt safe as a solo female traveler. Locals were welcoming, and using Grab made commuting easy. I recommend visiting Phi Phi Island, exploring night markets, and taking long-tail boat rides. Street food like Pad Thai and coconut ice cream were delicious and affordable. My budget was around 4000 AED but I went over board with shopping and I stayed in mid-range places in Pattaya, Bangkok, railay , Phi Phi, and Phuket. Moving around was easy with domestic flights, ferries, and local transport. Thailand is a great destination for solo travelers seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation!

This was my first solo trip, and it got a special part of my heart. Thailand is a really nice country to travel alone. It is super easy to make friends. I was volunteering there for 2 weeks, and at the weekends I went to Bangkok and Phi Phi Islands. It was definitely the best experience of my life and I really recommend it.
Posted: May 6, 2025Experienced: July, 2024Many people say that bkk is really safe, but not at all. U should be careful while crossing the road and hide your important belongings. Police won't help u to find a thief, especially if u don't speak Thai
Posted: May 4, 2025Experienced: March, 2025Thailand is one of the best destinations that I have ever been to. Everything is great, but from my experience there are few things you need to prepare (if you never been to Thailand) - the weather: the summer in TL is very hot, makes sure you drink enough water + use sun cream properly and have some anti-heat clothes or anything to cover your skin - the food: Thai food is famous for its spicy, so be careful and choose wisely. I got stomachache after 1 week in TL (not because of the quality, but because itās too spicy and also delicious, so that I couldnāt stop š)
Posted: May 1, 2025I felt safe travelling around Bangkok. Be aware of your surroundings of course because in some areas, there is known pickpocketing. But as long as you are sensible and have your wits about you youāll be fine. Locals are very friendly and will help if you are lost or stuck.

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!
Posted: April 13, 2025Highly 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.
Posted: April 13, 2025Experienced: December, 2022i feel safe here!!! i recommend you moto taxi! i think its must have to do in thailand 3400$ for hotel (4 people) 300$ - excursion nai yang! cute and cosy place to rest very. there are a lot of restaurants. There's even Italian! people are kind and ready to help. we got everywhere with our own feet. the airport is very close and you can see planes taking off from the beach!
Posted: March 18, 2025Experienced: June, 2024I 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

For me personally, as a local here I need to admit that Thailand is not the safest place, nor the most convenient place. However, due to Thai people habits weāre always helping each other and also help the tourists, so I would say that in Bagkok, Thailand is moderately safe.

I think it safe and have a lot of culture. I think everyone must been here once in a lifetime. Have lots of foods esp street food. They are delicious and cheap. You can use bts (skytrain) to travel around the city.

Iām from China, I often come to Thailand, I am trying to learn English now, so I want to find friends to communicate with. ometimes we can attend some music activities, or we can taste food together, take photos, and chat. We can take a walk in the park or go shopping in the mall. We should not stay alone.
