Solo (21 Female) Travelling to Bangkok
Going to Bangkok in ten days. Booked yesterday. For context, this is my first solo to Thailand, although I have been before when I was quite young. I speak very broken Thai that I grew up learning from my grandparents, so I can carry a decent conversation. I'll be there the 5-16 April and plan on celebrating Songkran, something that's been on my bucket list since I was a wee lass. I was looking into trying to split my time between Laos or another city in Thailand aside from just being in Bangkok. I am also looking into doing some very short term volunteer work while I am there, or at the very least bring clothes, school supplies, etc to donate to any non-profits. I'm planning to stay in a hostel/hostels while I'm there, so if anyone has recommendations please send them my way! I'll just have some of my questions below-- feel free to add anything else you think I should know as well!
- Best way for me to get to or from the airport? Only slightly concerned about coming in as a solo female because I've heard so many bad taxi horror stories. I'm usually not one to look too much into it though.
- Best ways to travel between Bangkok and Vientiane? Flight, train, bus?
- Where to spend Songkran? Heard mixed reviews about Khao San but thinking between splitting my time there and Silom for the experience.
- For either Laos or Thailand (preferably Laos), places that will allow me to volunteer to help rebuild a house, paint a school, read to kids, or anything for a short term? Looking for around 1-3 days of volunteer work.
- I'll be bringing a box of clothes/school supplies/toys to donate. Recommendations for organisations to donate to?
- If I decide on another city in Thailand, where to go? I like adventure, sunsets, hikes, sometimes beaches. Something a bit off the beaten path. Less of a major city and more of a "traditional" Thai experience, since I will already be in Bangkok already.
- Best places to EAT? I love street food. I've grown up eating Thai/Lao food so I've got a stomach made for this.
Thanks ahead of time for your recommendations xx
