Is Thailand Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

My first solo trip in Asia, and it was incredible! I was very scared to go solo, but as soon as I landed in Bangkok, and checked in in my hostel, that disappeared. I was so well received by dozens of other solo travelers. There’s always some activity happening and group going out, so you don’t really feel alone. I traveled from north to south, and checked some cool spots. What I would say is: the islands of the southeast side should be your N1 priority. They are gorgeous, way less crowded and more natural. It’s just breathtaking, cheap and a good vibe. I did Chiang Mai in the north, which was  amazing because of the festival of flowers that it was happening, but the islands in the south or way better. Phuket is not very nice (older Russian everywhere…). Phi phi island was cool for the diving, the excursions and the parties, but zero nature in the island. Definitely go and enjoy! I feel like is one of the best places to solo travel as a women in Asia. Felt really safe (stayed in female rooms in hostels, only went out at night in groups - with at least one female, etc)

Safest country in South East Asia by far. I lived there for 4 years including the time during Covid. The culture, food, nature and travel community is what inspired me to live there for so long. I studied Buddhism & yoga in-depth as well as cultivated the courage to facilitate others in yoga & meditation. Forever grateful for that experience

I stayed a few month in Thailand (Bangkok, krabi, chiang mai, koh samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao) and loved every minute! People are amazingly friendly, food and culture is great, I practiced Muay Thai for the whole time in all the places and it is a great way to get into the local traditions and to meet locals. It’s really safe and easy to navigate (transportation, English speaking people, internet…).

A very easy place to travel to as a solo woman. It feels very safe, you constantly meet fellow travelers, and the locals are super welcoming. Everything is easy and flowing, as Thailand has been accustomed to tourism for a long time now.

There are a lot of temples in Thailand, I would recommend you to go to a few but don't waste your time visiting 71626732 temples. North Thailand has a nice weather, I stayed in Chiang Mai and in a meditation retreat called Pa Pae, in the way between Chiang Mai and Pai. The last one is also a city you should visit. I felt safe, everything is easy, lots of atms, every place has good food.

I feel safe since the day 1 arrived at the Airport. Taxi driver was very kind. I had so much fun at the rooftop bar in Bangkok Had a good time hangout around, walking and tried local food! I booked 5 stars hotel and it was amazing

Thailand was amazing for a solo trip (my first)!! Super safe, very cheap, people are friendly and helpful. I stayed in Krabi, Ao Nang in an Airbnb. Stayed for 10 days but it’s worth staying way longer. There are many many things to do, boat trips, lots of restaurants and bars/clubs as well. Weed is legal if you’re into that😂 I never once felt unsafe, maybe except for the one time a bunch of stray dogs appeared around me at night but it ended up being fine hahah. The food is great and very inexpensive. At my fav restaurant there I spent 80 baht for a full meal with a drink (=2.17$). The airbnb/apartment was not the best honestly but it was okay and also affordable, around 250$ for 10 nights. Next time i’d rather choose a hotel though, I just booked too late and everything was full. If you have a license, moving around will be super easy as you can rent a motorcycle for cheap. I don’t, so I mostly walked around but there are also many tuktuks that operate as taxis😁 Very easy to connect with people, many other solo travelers are there and I never once felt alone. 1000% would go back again for longer! Jan-March I think are the best times to go❤️

I been to Bangkok few times but this time I’m flying solo, nothing different tho. I feel safe just riding BTS as my transportation going to places. As much as possible I do Take BTS as I travel around Bangkok or Book Day Tour on website or hotel itself. Specially the ones that railway can’t go. The body massage in Thailand is the best. Must try if you like body massage. My selection of Hotels are nearby BTS stations. so I could save time and money. As solo traveler I avoid going to bars. However I do go to the bar in the hotel I stay in.

I've visited Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Phi Phi, Ko Tao, Samui, and Phangan within a year. It's the place where I felt 100% safe, particularly when walking at night. I never received any unwanted attention from the locals. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for tourists or foreigners, but still, I was amazed by the place.

Thailand is very very safe and cosy. Food is great people are friendly, Kohphangan is one of the bet places on earth.you can ask anyone on the street what you are looking for and everywhere is good restaurants and yoga schools

I lived in Thailand for 5 years and traveled all over the place alone - it's totally safe. Of course, like anywhere, be aware of your surroundings and don't do risky things. Thailand and the Thai people are amazing.

Thailand is an incredible country. If you have time, I advise you not to stay in just one city or region. You also have to go north, south, to the capital... to really discover all aspects of the country (the jungles, the temples, the beaches...)

I visited Bangkok, Phuket, phi phi islands, Ao Nang and Koh Samui ! Favourite place - Bangkok and Krabi Least favourite but still nice - Koh Samui Normal prices for transport , great street food but be careful with water. Friendly people everywhere. Make sure you don’t litter and disturb
