Solo travel experience
I love Thailand! Chiang Mai is my happy place, I've been five times and can't wait to get back. I have always felt safe in Thailand. My first trip started in Bangkok, I stayed on Kohsan Road, mainly because I knew it would be really busy and I could wander around at night, but I didn't go to any clubs. I'd go see the sites during the day and come back to home base to listen to live music, have a drink, and people watch. The city was a bit chaotic for me (though I'm happy I went, and may return to see more in the future). I fell in love with Chiang Mai, I stay in the Old City. I've done a few tours to see the sites, but generally just happy popping into temples, bookstores, and little shops. I highly recommend the Monk Chat at Wat Chedi Luang and a cooking class with Thai Farm Cooking School-Chiang Mai-Thailand (delicious food, fun day out of the city, and a nice packable cook book for home). Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple is pretty spectacular. I did a sunrise visit and was fortunate to see the monks chanting, which was really powerful). I stayed in Koh Samui on either side of my trip to Koh Phangan. Samui wasn't my favourite, though it could have been the location I stayed, nice hotels but not a lot around. Beach fronts were small and packed so I spent time at the pools. Koh Phangan on the other hand was pretty amazing. I rented a little cabin (not cheap) and spent my days reading, and lazing in my hammock or chilling on the beach. I use Grab in Chiang Mai if I'm going somewhere far, it's like Uber and I've always felt safe.
Solo travel experience
I stayed in Thailand for 27 days and i went to: Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Koh Phangan (avoid in case you donāt want to go on party mode) Koh Tao (I love koh tao!) Ao Nang (I stayed here to go to every little island near the coast) A lot of friends recommended me to avoid Phuket so I didnāt went.
Solo travel experience
I was there for 3 months alone. Visited the entire country. Super safe! The weather is awesome and it was one of the best countries I've been. Food and accommodations are super cheap. Islands are a bit more expensive but nothing to worry about. I wouldn't stay more than 1 day in Bangkok. Go to the beach or north.
Solo travel experience
I went to Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Krabi, and Ko Samui. Highly recommend go to the any temples in Thailand but make sure youāre not wearing any shorts on that day. They will have skirts to cover up. Instead of riding elephants in Chiang Mai, I suggest go to the elephant sanctuaries to play with the elephants. In Krabi, thereās plenty to do because itās near a beach but highly recommend getting on those boat tours to tour the island or kayaking around the sunset.
