Thailand Trips for Solo Travellers
So you think you want to travel to Thailand...good choice! It is where we ran our first-ever tour (13 years ago, I know...we look good for our age!) Thailand is the OG backpacking spot, and it is perfect if you are going solo for the first time. Around 70% of people on our tours come solo, it is the best option for travelling to a new country if you want to explore the best places, have the little details sorted for you AND meet friends for life!
Now you have decided on Thailand, the next question is...which tour? North/South/everywhere? Gosh, what a lovely decision to make...the best thing to know is that you can't possibly go wrong! Whether you want non-stop party vibes on a Full Moon Experience tour or you want to take 14 days to chill and reconnect to nature in the depths of the Northern Thailand jungle...there's an insane adventure waiting for you.

FAQS
When is the best time to travel to Thailand?
Thailand is amazing all year round, but the best time to visit is November to February, when the weather is cooler, drier, and perfect for island hopping, temple exploring, and beach days. March-June is hot-hot-hot, and July-October is the rainy season - but don’t worry, showers are usually short, and the country stays lush and green.
Is Thailand expensive to visit?
Not at all! Thailand is one of the best-value destinations in the world. Street food can cost just a couple of dollars/pounds, accommodation ranges from budget-friendly hostels to luxe resorts, and transport is super affordable. You can travel to Thailand on almost any budget.
How much time should I spend in Thailand?
We recommend at least 10-14 days to get a real taste of Thailand. That gives you time for buzzing Bangkok, chilled northern vibes in Chiang Mai, and some dreamy beach time in the south. Got longer? Even better!
Do I need a visa to visit Thailand?
Many travellers can enter Thailand visa-free for short stays, which makes things nice and easy. Entry rules can change, so always double-check the latest requirements before you travel.
What vaccinations are required for Thailand?
There are no mandatory vaccinations for most travellers, but commonly recommended ones include Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, and Tetanus. We always recommend speaking to your local doctors; we're not medically trained, so we can't give official advice on vaccines you need/don't need.
Are there ATMs in Thailand?
Yes - ATMs are everywhere, especially in cities, islands, and tourist areas. Just keep in mind that Thai banks usually charge a small fee per withdrawal.
Is Thailand LGBTQ+-friendly?
Thailand is one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly countries in Asia, known for its welcoming culture and vibrant LGBTQ+ scenes, especially in Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai.
What languages are spoken in Thailand?
Thai is the official language, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants, so getting around is easy.
Can you drink tap water in Thailand?
It’s best to avoid drinking tap water. Stick to bottled or filtered water, which is cheap, easy to find, and often provided by accommodation.
Is Thailand safe to visit?
Yes! Thailand is considered very safe for travellers, including solo backpackers. Just use common sense, keep an eye on your belongings, and enjoy this incredible country!
