Crime & Women's Safety in Bangkok

I have been living in Bangkok for over 15 years now. I would say it is pretty safe for solo traveling, it is safe for a lady. However, beware of surrounding environment and people, do not go to dark spots alone should be keep in mind.

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.

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!

Couple travel experience

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
