Thailand

Destination Information

Thailand is without a doubt the perfect country to visit as a first-time solo traveler. For many years, it has been known as a popular backpacking destination as it is very easy to get around. On the one hand, Thailand, more specifically the island Kho Phangan, is known for its epic full moon parties you do not want to miss. On the other hand, Thailand offers you a feeling of freedom and wilderness in between limestone mountains, enchanting rainforests, and numerous animals you can encounter in places like the Khao Sok National Park. If you are not convinced yet, search ‘Phi Phi Islands’ and get ready to be invited into paradise with some of the whitest beaches you will ever see and a stunning marine life.

Bangkok

Dive into the exciting streets of Bangkok, Thailand’s capital city. Marvel at golden temples at the City Palace. Haggle in the bustling markets, and taste delicious food at the stalls lining the streets. Packed with vibrant bars and an interesting history, Bangkok is a backpackers dream. For your nights out, the famous Khao San Road will be the place to be. Nothing beats the pumping music, cheap local beers, and excellent vibes. Further afield you’ll find ancient ruins, stunning canals, and trendy markets. Embrace the energy, bring your sense of wander, and get ready for Bangkok.

Chiang Mai

Be warned: when you come to Chiang Mai, you may never want to leave. Trade in the chaos of Bangkok for a cooler vibe with still plenty of city to explore. Surrounded by valleys and winding roads, and a gateway city to the unforgettable sights and experiences of Northern Thailand. See the glinting golden roof of Doi Suthep temple, with views of the city for miles below. Learn the secrets of Thai cooking with a local expert. Savour the flavours of the fragrant night markets. Visit one of the ethical Elephant sanctuaries for your chance to get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures and experience the significant work done here. Chiang Mai is the perfect blend of ancient and modern, serene and vibrant. A backpackers haven for adventure, relaxation, and a taste of the ‘real’ Thailand.

Koh Phangan

Imagine swaying palms, emerald bays, and epic Full Moon beach parties. Welcome to Koh Phangan! Known as the backpackers paradise, you’ll be finding adventure on this island no matter the time of year. Snorkel colourful coral reefs and kayak through the most tranquil coves. Here you can hike to hidden waterfalls and find peace in the jungle with a yoga retreat. Enjoy lazy days on soft sand swinging hammocks, coconut in hand. Just be sure to time your visit around the epic Full Moon Party on the famous Haad Rin beach for the ultimate backpacker party experience. Fire dancers, a starlit sky, and midnight dips in the ocean – your time here is sure to be filled with unforgettable memories.

Khao Sok

On this beautiful island, you’ll be trading in the beach bum life for a true jungle adventure. In the depths of Khao Sok National Park you’ll find ancient rainforests, cascading waterfalls, giant moss covered rocks, and more. Trek through dense jungles teeming with exotic wildlife and rich Thai history. Climb ropes, go cliff jumping, and explore deep caves to really test your inner adventurer. Khao Sok is a different kind of paradise, for those wanting a taste of untamed nature and traditional experiences. Mosquito repellent in hand, get ready to be enthralled by the jungle’s charm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best place to fly into?

When you fly to Thailand, the international airport is located in Bangkok. You can easily spend your first few nights here. If you don’t love busy cities, we would recommend you to travel up north to Chiang Mai once you get here. Scenic mountain views, a slower pace, and a slightly cooler climate will be greeting you so you can relax for a few days after a long flight.

Is Thailand expensive?

Absolutely not! Thailand is one of the best countries to travel in terms of affordability, which is why it is so popular with first time travellers. The average cost of a local beer in Thailand is about $4 Australian Dollars – roughly 2.50 Euros! And if you stick to the delicious food stalls that often line the streets, you’ll barely chip into your savings.

What is the best way to meet people in Thailand?

If you’re travelling solo, the best ways to meet new people are hostels and group tours! Most hostels you stay in will have a very social vibe, or even a bar or two attached. However, we find that joining a group tour allows you to make deeper connections with your travel mates, and you’ll be leaving with friends for life.

Is Thailand safe?

Overall, Thailand is one of the safest countries to travel in South East Asia, especially with so many backpacker friendly routes and destinations. Of course, we always recommend exercising a good degree of caution wherever you go. Travelling as part of a group can almost guarantee you a danger free, adventure only trip.
