Can you come to Pattaya ALONE, is it Safe ?

[@seriousdoubt]

I have been coming alone to Thailand since 2016 many times every year and I have not had any incidents where my life was threatened, or I was robbed. But I have been robbed and stabbed in Mexico, I have been robbed in Chile, I have been threatened to be killed in Brazil and New Orleans. So I personally find that Thailand is safe. .However, if you are looking for problems in Pattaya, you will definitely find them. And you should always keep your eyes open and you will have a great time here🇹🇭

[@suchasin]

Wow...u have expierienced a lot,im surprised u still like travelling.

[@seriousdoubt]

@suchasin I have been in 27 countries ..

[@suchasin]

@seriousdoubt u are right, see the world

[@thegentofculture]

Man, I'd love to hear what led up to all of that so i can avoid it. Then again, the places you were attacked/threatened in don't take much. New Orleans has become probably the most dangerous place in America, at least if you look at some types of violent crime.

I create a little favourite/pin flag on Google Maps for my android phone. Also, I use my Garmin watch which has a little arrow pointing the way back to the hotel. I believe on Apple watch a similar feature is called "backtrace". It works really well.

[@Gary_sub3marathoner]

I've been fortunate to visit Pattaya four times in the last 12 months, always alone. I was a complete newbie 12 months ago. I do have a friend who works in Pattaya 6 months of the year, but most nights I went out alone. To date, each trip has been better than the previous one. Lots of good advice in this video, although you can also pay by card in established shops in Central Festival and Terminal 21. To be honest, I feel safer in Thailand than I do in England.

The beauty of being alone is you can do," whatever takes your fancy" The only thing I suggest get a room away from the street and the high voltage power lines, current guidelines in Australia are 3 metres for voltages up to 132kV. and 6 metres for voltages up to 330kV.If you are on the second floor , your head is almost next to it.

I spent three weeks in Pattaya last month. I met a few nice people and I had a date every day with a different lovely lady. Going to Pattaya with your wife or girlfriend is like bringing sand to a beach. I wasn't stumbin' around totally drunk in the early morning, so everything was safe.

[@user-oi9to7ux7k]

I travel to Pattaya every year for the marathon (3rd week in July). I take the airport bus and walk alone at 11pm the couple of kilometres from the bus stop in north Pattaya to my hotel near Beach Road. I've never felt safer anywhere, including my hometown which has drunken idiots looking for fights on Friday and Saturday nights. Unfortunately, if you wait until (often, unreliable) friends are ready, available, financially willing, etc. to travel, you will never, ever go anywhere. Friends have never ending excuses about being busy with work, family, sport, not wanting to visit Pattaya, etc. They always make vague promises about how "next year will be different". It is never different. Wait to go with friends and you will stay home forever, getting older and older and it all seems too hard. Just buy a ticket and go there!

[@Steven-t9s]

You walk all the way from the bus station to beach road? That's certainly a marathon in itself.

[@user-oi9to7ux7k]

@@Steven-t9s No problem :). I walk everywhere. Never taken a taxi in Pattaya. I take the occasional Baht bus. After a couple of flights and the bus ride, I enjoy the chance to stretch my legs and have 45 minutes or so to myself.

Going alone to Pattaya is the best you can do! I use to go with a friend but the last couple of years I always went alone and will never go with friends again. Not only to Pattaya but also to Koh Lanta, Chang, Samui, etc. You can do what ever you want, any time, always and you don't have to consider about anyone else. Don't be afraid that you won't get any attention from other people because you will get enough of it. Just do it, you will not regret it. By the way, I always wear my Rolex and never had a problem.

Yet another banger Daz! Personally I prefer to travel alone. It’s a much better experience in my opinion. You can move in ways that you wouldn’t be able to when traveling with others. I’ve traveled Europe alone and will be in Thailand 🇹🇭 next month. I’m looking forward to blazing my own trails and having fun with the locals if you know what I mean. I’ve been researching Thailand for about 4 years before coming. So I feel as if I have a fairly good idea of what I can expect. With that being said no plan is 100% but that’s also the beauty of it.

Pattaya and Thailand in general is a great place to travel alone. Its safe and you can easy meet other people if thats what you want. As mentioned you have your own freedom. It depends on what type of person you are? Some people need to be with someone....some don't.😊

[@dannmm6745]

Don’t drink too much, particularly if you travel alone. Nobody will be next to you to tell you to go back to your hotel, or don’t do this or don’t do that… Don’t cross the line where problems come up. Everyone should know where his line is and avoid it at all cost. 99.9% of people who had problems, drama and tears in Thailand have in common that all of them crossed their lines by far.

[@luisRoma747]

An app for learning basic Thai which can be very useful is an app called, "simply learn Thai" with an green elephant icon. it has a large selection of Thai useful phrases , numbers and other tools that can expand your knowledge of Thai which Thai people love to hear.

I went to Pattaya alone many times. The first time I went I watched many KZbin videos from Daz, Nick Dean, Brian Flowers, Trevor (BuzzIn), Lucas (Ride4Kicks), Richie Mac (Zoom). Pattaya is a very unique place from the Baht Bus, Barfines, Malls, FreeLancers, Motorbike Taxi etc. Western Men have no idea what to expect, what is acceptable etc. I agree with Daz, you are safe. Stay away from Ladyboys (Soi 6/1) the first time here. They can be over whelming at first. Stay on Soi 7 through 11.

I have done it several times but I prefer to travel by myself. I can wakeup early or sleep late. If I want to stay in at the hotel I can. If I want to go to another city I can. I can eat where I want.

Very sound advice. I came to Thailand by myself and have been living here for 3 years now. I have had only one issue with a ladyboy trying to pick my pocket while walking by. If nervous about walking solo, just follow a group, but not too close, maybe a meter behind. They will assume you are with the group.

[@markadler8968]

Much better being alone, when with others you end going somewhere you don't really want to go and vice versa. If there's 3 people it doesn't work over a period of time. Then one person is hungry the others are not. Nightmare.

Many guys buy a very cheap phone just for Thailand, BUT it MUST be unlocked and you buy a Thai SIM card at the airport with a package for the duration of your stay and the shop will set it all up for you, don't even open your own phone unless you have to check for messages.
