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

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 😊
Posted: February 13, 2025Experienced: February, 2025I felt surprisingly safe in Bangkok. Of course the general rules as a solo female traveler still count. Be aware in big crowds and at night. Don’t go into dodgy allies and I guess don’t stay out until too late
Posted: January 20, 2025I feel very safe traveling alone.You can explore icon Siam, Wat Arun, BTS, Khaosan road, Chinatown..Food is so tasty. pad Thai is nice. I spent about 200$ for 3 nights 4 days. I stayed around Pratunam

Hey I was solo traveling for 3 days in Bangkok. I slept in the „hift hostel“ for about 128 bath per day. It was very close to the city and I really liked the hostel but the beds are very uncomfortable hard haha The hostel has really nice rooftop the view is incredible. It’s a really calm hostel where just a few people are talking to each other. I was walking around with a crop top and shorts and felt mostly safe so don’t be scared If you want to visit the temples you need to wear something over your shoulder Okay by

Bangkok is an amazing place to start your journey in Thailand or South East Asia in general! Lots to do and it is easy to meet new people! Even at night I felt very safe! Definitely check out one of the rooftop bars, the view is really worth it
Posted: August 4, 2024I've never felt safer than in Bangkok, and Thai people are the most friendly ppl, I recommend visiting Bangkok when you come to Thailand, for more than a few days, 3 days isn't enough to discover the city.
Posted: July 25, 2024Experienced: June, 2023I did feel safe. Our must go place during the weekend is Chatuchak market. Highly recommended to go early so it is not so hot. The place is huge and be prepared to be sweaty and sticky shopping around.. there’s now a new mall that’s open right next to the market. A new alternative to cool down after being hot outside the market :)

I was just 18yo when I decided to go by myself in Thailand for 3 months. I found an internship in journalism and I went. I already traveled solo 2 times but this was way different because it was for a long period. Since then, I’ve craved to go back, to go some places else, to meet people. Since, I made a lot of other trip but to rarely by myself and I really want to go again, alone, because I think it’s the best way to meet people and the best way to learn to be happy with yourself.

Came here to leave Asia. I got sick. Been in an amazing hostel. I’d recommend. Humans are generally friendly in Thailand. Know a little English. I can walk day or night and really feel safe. Busy place.

Quite safe for females and solo travellers, literally i live and work here so in general the locals are amiable and help whenever you needed. I like to stroll alone at night sometime and it’s considered as a one of the capital city that is comfortable and secure.
Posted: February 18, 2025You can travel alone because Thai people are very kind and polite. But you must maintain basic safety, such as not asking for directions from strangers, but only asking for directions from officials.

Hi there! I’m a French designer moving to Bangkok for work for the next two years. Super excited to explore the city, meet new people, and make the most of this adventure. I’m passionate about drawing, sculpting, and gaming—so if you’re into artsy stuff or up for some co-op adventures, we might just get along! Looking forward to making some great connections here. Let’s make it fun!

Not really into writing so much, I'm more of a talker. Happy almost all the time. Very spontanious. Very outgoing and not afraid "of anything". My motto is: If you want something, you have to just do it. It won't come by itself
