Great experience in Chiangmai last July. After went to Bangkok with group, I solo to Chiangmai. It’s not modern as Bangkok but more like rural. I think it’s safe for women to solo travel there. Many foreigners and activities there, recommend Thai massage and night market.
Posted: October 7, 2024Felt very safe as a woman alone, plenty of great things to do, even if it's just walking around the city , great food, good, cheap, accommodation. Locals are very friendly and getting around is easy just waking!
Posted: July 31, 2024Experienced: June, 2024I recommend temple hopping in Chiang Mai - it's a very affordable activity, with free to minimal fees. Visiting an ethical elephant sanctuary is also a very fulfilling experience. For food, I highly recommend khao soi - it's very cheap if you buy it from night markets or small eateries, but you can also enjoy it in restaurants.
Posted: March 30, 2024Experienced: October, 2022It is definitely safe, and the vibe is really relaxed and comfortable. The food is good, loved the night markets and the local food there, and definitely loved the jazz bar in the evening its where people can come and sing and play musical instruments and it was lovely. I also did the vipassana course in Chiang mai, which was beautiful!

Chiang Mai is such a cool city. Between temples, yummy (& vegetarian friendly! food, elephant sanctuary tours, & nature hikes nearby, it’s the ideal city to visit! I felt very safe there and stayed at Stamps Backpackers - one of the best hostels that I’ve been to. Visiting the Elephant Sanctuary was truly special, as was a trip to the Sticky waterfalls. I only planned 3 nights here but ended up staying 6! It’s a great, affordable city that I highly recommend.
Posted: February 16, 2024I loved Chiang Mai. I participated in a cooking class and visited an elephant camp. It was absolutely safe, I was walking around the city center every day for coffee and exploration and I felt 100% safe.
Posted: February 8, 2024Chiang Mai is full of lonely travelers. It is very, very safe and a wonderful city to explore. Fantastic shopping and many markets with food and products.
Posted: December 24, 2023Safe, with the possibility of moving around on foot, beautiful temples, many one-day trips to the national park and surrounding areas. English is widely used, and trains and buses are easy to understand. There are historical areas to visit like Ayutthai and Sukhothai, south of which you can reach by train or bus.

Probably the most chill and organised city I’ve ever travelled too. Not to mention super cheap! People are friendly and accommodating and I’m already dying to go back! There’s tons of things to do. Totally can’t miss the night markets/bazaar where your shopping options are endless!
Posted: November 18, 2023Chiang Mai is a wonderful city - not too small, not too big, and it's full of excellent restaurants and shops. In addition, the surrounding nature is fantastic. It's the perfect place to start various hikes, trips, river travels, and so on. I liked it so much there that I will definitely stay in Chiang Mai when I return to Thailand. Additionally, I highly recommend a train journey from Bangkok to Chiang Mai - it's a real adventure and a really cool experience.

A beautiful and relax city. You have a lot of activities and market to visit here. I’ve been here for at least 2 weeks and I felt safe walking on the street and the food is cheap and delicious. I totally recommend to come to Chiang Mai
