Food in Bangkok is amazing, I ate at the most street area, visually of course it’s not like in the restaurant, but taste unbelievable. For me personally I felt very safe here, a lot of people says it’s not safe for solo girl to travel here, but I disagree so far.

Thailand was a very beautiful trip, the people are very welcoming and you feel completely safe. The landscapes are magnificent, their culture and their dishes are delicious. Everything is very cheap there, the activities are super interesting, we traveled from Bangkok to Krabi and to the islands up to Phuket.

My Bangkok One-Day-Trip (1) When I went to Bangkok last month, I just moved out of Taipei, where I had lived for 12 years. It was a chaotic month for me, But two of my good friends planned a one-day-trip for me — as a surprise. I had no idea what I was going to do on that day. I arrived in Bangkok knowing nothing. I only had my accommodations booked and Grab installed. I told my friends that I’d exchange cash for Thai bat, but I didn’t even have any cash with me. I didn’t know how to take public transportation or how to speak the language. A Grab driver even canceled my order because I couldn’t find the place to meet up. (I think GPS was the main problem.) It may have seemed a bit chaotic but with all the travel experience I had in the past years, they were minor problems and I wasn’t nervous at all. The next day at 6am I finally opened the itinerary of my one-day-trip. First I needed to take the bus to Wat Arun. Now that’s a problem. As I walked and googled how to take a bus at the same time, I realized I would need some coins. (I only got cash from the ATM.) So I took a Grab instead, which was probably cheating, but it worked. The driver took me to Wat Arun and immediately I was surrounded by staff from a nearby shops asking me to rent Thai traditional clothes. I wasn’t sure if I should, then they made a very nice offer — 1600bat for the photographer, clothes, shoes, even makeup and hair. For some reason I started my trip with something not on the itinerary at all. After one hour of photo shoot, the next thing on my agenda was to learn Thai dance. My dearest friends signed me up for a one-on-one dance class! I arrived telling the teacher I had no idea about it, but I was opened minded enough and had really a lot of fun. The teacher was very young and spoke fluent English. She was very patient and I was satisfied enough with the result. I learned two dances and now I believe I can go to a random Thai club to dance with them.

I mainly went to Krabi for the food and water activities, I went on island hopping tour and kayaking where you could just easily go to the booths nearby and book it for the next day, very convenient. They do have many other options as well so you can just pick an activity that suits you. I went to the AoNang nightmarket buy this time not many stores were opened (not sure if it was because it was off season) but still the food was great. I stayed at Ao Nang Viva Resort, and the location is good as it was walking distance to the nightmarket and to the beach.

Thailand is the first international trip I took independently with a friend of mine, and the experience was wonderful. Thai people are the sweetest, the food is excellent, the activities are amazing, and the shopping is cheap and fun. We covered three places, Phuket, Krabi and Bangkok, and each place had such a different vibe. We really enjoyed exploring old Town Phuket, the Island tour at Krabi, and Chatuchak market and cooking classes in Bangkok. The best part was the SAFETY. We never once felt threatened or on alert. We got a female cab driver at night which made us feel extra safe. I wish to visit Thailand again and maybe cover the northern cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. ❤️ Thailand is a must visit country, they hype on social media is absolutely worth it.

I like Bangkok, somehow I feel in Bangkok much safer than in Berlin 😅 here is a lot of tourists. Locals are respectful to the tourists which makes you feel more welcoming and warm by walking on the streets.

Thailand is super safe to travel, especially as a female solo traveler. There are a lot of other backpackers and tourists. Thai people are known for their friendliness and hospitality, which adds to the country’s feeling of safety. The only thing you have be careful is to not get scammed.

You can travel alone wherever you want. Generally safe in everywhere but sometimes need to be aware the scam and pickpocketing in crowded areas like markets and touristy areas. As a solo traveller, even at night, you can feel safe to walk alone.

I feel very safe, even at night. People are kind and helpful. At most I’ve experienced some catcalling a couple of times, which unfortunately seems inescapable. Of course, one should always have their wits about them but I find it safer than most places I’ve been to

It’s really safe overall the only time I feel unsafe is in Khao San road but it’s because people are gripping you from everywhere. I went to multiple places i come back home most of the drunk and nothing happened
