Is Bangkok Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

I 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

Solo travel experience

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!

It was an amazing experience, Bangkok truly stole my heart. With its many activities, locations to visit, foods to try you’ll for sure never get bored! Even if in many warned me about the criminality in the city I never felt unsafe, of course I was careful about going around with other people at night and the neighbors I was visiting.

Despite most people saying Bangkok is overrated, busy, and dirty, I managed to find a lot of fun experiences within this massive city. While it is a bit grimy and busy, I think that may add to the appeal. I found tons of things to do in this city and I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much. Some of the best things I did in Bangkok were: - watching a pro Muay Thai match - the floating market - the night markets - a food tour of China Town - iconsiam Mall - temple hopping at the Grand Palace, Wat Pho (reclining Buddha), and Wat Arun This was my first city in Asia and I was at first intimidated but came to feel quite comfortable after finding the right hostel. I stayed at Jam Hostel near Khao San road which made me feel comfortable, safe and welcomed. They had daily activities and the women working there go out of their way to provided the best experience for guests, and always ensuring their guests are getting the best deals and not being scammed by tuktuks and tour groups. The only time I really felt “unsafe” here was walking around at night, which I guess is to be expected of any large metropolitan city - including even my home town. However, I never had any bad experiences here and I would go as far as to say I felt more safe here at night then I did in my own city of Vancouver. This city is huge and it’s quite spread out, somethings are very difficult to get to. I would recommend taking the water taxi and metro as much as possible. Avoid taxis and tuktuks where you’ll surely be scammed, instead take grab bikes which are generally cheaper and get around much faster.

I was left alone in Bangkok for 2 days before the arrival of my best friend. I never felt unsafe. In the evening, I stayed close to the hotel, I had a plan for the day, I studied maps so as not to look lost, and I probably asked questions. People were incredibly kind and helpful.

Most of the time I felt safe in Bangkok, in my daily life, I travel alone to and back from work around Sukhumvit and Thonburi. The time when I felt unsafe is when taking taxi at the night, so suggest to take public transport if you can or you have to have someone going with you when taking taxi otherwise things will be very fine in Bangkok! :-)

Bangkok is safe for women to come alone. The journey is not difficult but the weather is quite hot. Popular locations for foreigners may have additional fees. If you don't want to reject it clearly. If you come alone, we don't recommend traveling at night. Even though Thailand is safe, it's better to be careful.

As a Colombian I was very used to being afraid of taking my phone out, but mostly pf walking by myself, especially because I como from a very sexist country. But living in Bangkok for almost 2 months I have never experienced an event in which I felt scared or anything like it.

I had a great time taking a cooking course, they show you how to make curry and take you to a market. I would try to get a hotel close to a train station. My least positive experience was getting around with taxis, they don't want to use the meter which will 100% get you a better price. Better to just not take the ride till you find one that will turn on the meter.

Solo travel experience

Bangkok is really similar to Jakarta! easy access to everywhere, you can use motorbike, taxi, bus, BTS, MRT or tuktuk. But the traffic also really bad They have wide and clean road for pedestrian, savory food beverage and snack! you must gain weight during the trip everything is relatively affordable, many places to explore like temple, malls, museum, market or cafe hopping be prepared for extra baggage because Bangkok is the place for shopping especially clothing
