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.
Posted: June 13, 2024i really really liked bangkok and the city bangkok itself! it is a really hectic place but also a great opportunity to meet new people and experience culture exchange! as a first step for your travels to thailand it can be a little bit overwhelming because it’s really a lot because it is really big. But still i overall liked the city and enjoyed my trip!
Posted: June 10, 2024I felt super safe in Bangkok even at night. I would recommend to use bolt because it’s cheaper than grab. As a women I think it’s completely okay to travel there by yourself. The food is amazing and if you don’t know what to do you can try all the malls are huge and you can never get bored. The temples are amazing as well. I recommande Chinatown

I found this a rather overwhelming first destination for my solo travelling venture. I would say, read up about the city first and find out what it is you want to do/focus your energy on. Even though the locals are lovely and enthusiastic about the city, you can often get roped in to booking stuff that isn't really what you're looking for. I would say I felt very safe though and not threatened in any way. I found that within seconds of me being unsure where I was going, a local would pop up out of nowhere asking where I was going but not in a creepy way. They just seem genuinely keen to help and want you to have the best time!

Bangkok is quite safe people is friendly, but you have to beware as well, because people are different. I live in Minburi outside the city my hometown quite safe and mostly are local area and not far from the city
Posted: October 30, 2024Very safe you can walk alone at night but just be smart. What's not safe is the sidewalk because they're not well made. They're made to break down shortly for corruption procurement. Traffic can be quite heavy in many areas and Thais do not respect road rules so you could get hit by anything any time.

Heyy im Aon, I know some of you feel insecure when you are a girl and travel alone! I used to feel that too! So you are my guess!

I am currently staying in Thailand for the next 6 months for study/placement. I am 32, originally from the UK where I am doing my PhD in parasitology. I am a bit of an introvert but hate to waste my time out here sitting in my room in my spare time. I'd love to go out and explore Bangkok or other parts of Thailand while I'm here, but the idea of doing that alone scares me.
