Country guide
Thailand
I’ve spent a lot of time in Thailand. It’s my first answer when people ask where to go for a first solo trip, a budget trip, or just an easy win. Incredible food, friendly locals, and every kind of landscape within reach of each other. Here are the regions I know well.
Regions
Where to go in Thailand
Each region has its own vibe. Pick based on what you’re after.
Solo travel
Thailand alone
Thailand is one of the easiest solo destinations on the planet. Infrastructure is excellent, English is widely spoken in tourist areas, and there’s a built-in solo-traveller community in every guesthouse and hostel. Getting between regions is cheap and straightforward.
Budget
Thailand on a budget
Street food is outstanding and very affordable. Accommodation ranges from budget guesthouses to mid-range hotels. Getting around by bus or ferry is cheap. A Wise card and an Airalo eSIM will save you money every single day.
