Is Thailand Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

The locals are friendly and helpful, but, as in any place, it's important to be cautious of who to trust. Be careful with belongings and avoid venturing out alone at night, especially in quieter areas. Majority of the people are respectful, friendly and will help if you're in need.

Thailand, Solo travel

I have travelled to Thailand couple of times. It’s very safe country to visit even as a solo female traveller. My experience travelling in Chiang Mai especially was amazing. I visited Elephant Sanctuary which was highlight of my trip.

Thailand, Family travel

Fun, interesting but very hot. I wish i knew more about public transport then it would have been more affordable. I do suggest shopping in icon siam and platinum mall. Foods were great although it was hard for vegetarian.

Thailand, Couple travel

That is my favorite country. The people are so kind and cheerful. When I was there, I always kept saying, ‘I wish I lived here.’ I would love to go again and again. Phuket is more popular than other cities, but I have to say I left my heart in Bangkok

Thailand, Solo travel

What a diverse country! From tropical jungle and rock climbing above the azure sea to hiking the dry mountains in burning season. People have been nothing but friendly. The wildlife is spectacular both under water and above.

Bangkok

As any capital, be careful with the strangers and avoid being alone in the dark places at odd hours. Besides that, it is the safest city I have been to. I have nothing to complain about. Download the app Grab before arriving or just arriving. It saves a lot in this city, you can request from a moto taxi to a car taxi, food, coffee, anything,and you can pay in cash or you can add your credit/debit card, in case you don't have cash.

I am a solo traveler and safety is very important to me. I didn’t feel anything bad or dangerous in Phuket, even very late at night (arrived at my bungalow 1 a.m - left the place to eat since I was very hungry after a 10-hour flight). The neighborhood where my accommodation was, was alive with very friendly and helpful locals (Kata Beach) 🏖️ … felt safe and sound during my 10-day stay.

Hua Hin

It feels pretty safe so far I’ve left my bags and everything on my chair at the beach and walked around and no one touched it. The Thai people are very kind and it’s a good amount of retired Europeans.

Chiang Rai

Safe as houses, very laid back city with lovely people. I’ve had no issues walking about as a female solo traveller. The grabs take longer than the bigger cities but there are plentiful tuk tuks everywhere.
