The 10 Best Places in Southeast Asia for Solo Travelers

06/20/2018 by Kristin 57 Comments

Here are the top 10 Southeast Asia destinations for solo travelers. These destinations are beautiful, easy to travel in, and great places to meet other solo travelers. Some are popular, some are up and coming, and some are off the beaten path. Happy travels! #SoutheastAsia #SoloFemaleTravel #TravelSolo
Pin me!

Solo traveling can seem daunting for first time or even experienced solo travelers. There’s always the question, will I meet people?

Luckily solo traveling in Southeast Asia in general is usually easy. It’s a great place to get started on the solo travel journey due to the cheapness of traveling there, the ease with which one can get around, and the friendly locals and fellow solo travelers.

All that said, some places are more ideal than others. After spending a cumulative 3 years now traveling in the region, I’ve done a fair amount of recon and base my recommendations on the ease of meeting others, the wealth of activities, and the feeling of safety and comfort. With those factors in mind, these are the most friendly places in Southeast Asia for solo travelers:

1) Kuta Lombok, Indonesia

From Bukit Merese, the sunset hill

Kuta Lombok is nothing like its loud, seedy neighbor, Kuta, Bali. This laid back surfer town is super chill, and it’s the perfect jumping off point for some incredible beaches. Though still pretty quiet and laid back compared to Bali, which I find hectic, Kuta is the most popular hangout on Lombok which makes it great for solo travelers.

Meet people by taking a surf class, head to Mana Yoga for a yoga class, join a waterfall tour, or just hang out in one of the many cafes. For more on Kuta, check out my full guide here for the best beaches, hotels, and restaurants.

2) Siargao, Philippines

At Sugba Lagoon

Like Kuta, Siargao is a surfer town and whenever a place attracts people for a sport or shared interest, it tends to bring in a lot of solo travelers. Even if you’re not into surfing, there are plenty of activities in Siargao from Sugba Lagoon, to the rock pools and the joy of just getting on a motorbike and going for a ride.

I met other solo travelers on day trips and we hung out thereafter, exploring different parts of the island and enjoying the endless coconut groves. Read more about the best things to do in Siargao here.

3) Phong Nha Ke Bang, Vietnam

Best Places in Southeast Asia for Solo Travelers
Part of the crew in Phong Nha

This town is so small, there’s really only a few places to stay, and most visitors congregate in the evenings at Easy Tiger Hostel regardless of where they lay their heads. A group was easily formed the night I arrived to motorbike around the park the following day. We departed the next morning flying like a V in a gaggle eight strong.

What also really stood out to me was how many friendly waves, smiles, and peace signs we got from the locals as we drove by. It’s so nice to feel so welcomed somewhere you’ve never been before.

4) Pai, Thailand

Best Places in Southeast Asia for Solo Travelers
Hanging out in Pai

One thing that makes me love Pai so much is how many interesting, spiritual, and fun-loving people I meet there. Jack Kerouac might call them Dharma Bums.

It’s hard not to love a place where local kids are jumping into the waterfalls right after you, where Thai Captain Jack Sparrow hangs out under a bridge, and the local beauty is still wild yet accessible. There’s  reason why I have been back twice in the past two years – it’s just a nice place to be.

Pai hotels and hostels.

5) Gili Air, Indonesia

Best Places in Southeast Asia for Solo Travelers
Yep, gorgeous

I’ve been to the Gilis off the coast of Lombok three times now and each time I have a blast. Gili Trawangan is the most popular and has a well-deserved reputation as a party island, but its neighbor Gili Air gives you a bit more room to breathe. It has a more chilled out vibe while still being social. This small island also has gorgeous beaches and vibrant under-water life. Though more of a tourist island that doesn’t offer much local interaction, it’s a nice stop to relax and have some fun between trekking in Java or climbing Rinjani in Lombok.

The beaches are clean, it’s not as couple-oriented as other beach destinations, and whether your pleasure be learning to free dive or dancing all night, you can find both there.

6) Chiang Mai, Thailand

Best Places in Southeast Asia for Solo Travelers
At Yi Peng in Chiang Mai

Thailand’s northern capital is fantastic for many reasons: Great food, gorgeous temples, it’s super cheap, and it attracts lots of travelers. Every time I visit Chiang Mai, I easily meet a cool group of people to explore with.

It’s also the perfect jumping off point for lots of activities in Thailand’s north, many of which are off the beaten path. I suggest starting in Chiang Mai, building up a crew, and going on adventures together around the north. This list is a great place to start.

Book your stay in Chiang Mai here! There are also a lot of great options on Airbnb.

7) Lonely Beach, Koh Chang, Thailand

Best Places in Southeast Asia for Solo Travelers
The view

Lonely Beach isn’t as lonely as it once was, but the “last cheap Thai island”, easily accessible from Bangkok, is a great place for solo travelers. People tend to stay in Koh Chang longer term as it’s a laid back and enjoyable atmosphere with white sand beaches in some areas. Locals are still all smiles, reminiscent of the nation’s nickname. It generally feels like a friendly place with open people.

In low season, usually only one of the bars is busy, meaning just about everyone you might have seen around or met previously is likely to be there. For those who want a Thai island experience without the crowds or cost, give Koh Chang a try.

8) Siem Reap, Cambodia

Best Places in Southeast Asia for Solo Travelers
Friendly faces at Angkor Thom

Pretty much everyone traveling through Cambodia makes Angkor Wat a major part of their itinerary. Thanks to the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temple complex, it’s a bustling town with expats, tourists, and locals. I stayed at a particularly social hostel there and made friends quickly, and only on my first week of indefinite travels.

What I noticed about Cambodia was the travelers I met there were mostly on long journeys, moving through the country slowly. They tended to have interesting stories and I loved running into people I knew from Siem Reap over and over again as I traveled through the country. This city will always hold a special place in my heart thanks to all the positive memories.

Here are my recommended Siem Reap hotels and my favorite hostel

9) Tioman Island, Malaysia

Best Places in Southeast Asia for Solo Travelers
So gorgeous!

Places known for diving and snorkeling tend to be great for solo travelers. Divers will travel just about anywhere, even alone, to try a new spot. I always find the number of friendly people one could meet in a place popular for diving is just a little bit higher. Tioman is one of those islands, with its crystal clear water and colorful shallow reefs.

For more of the best places to visit in Malaysia, check out the Malaysia Itinerary.

10) Luang Prabang, Laos

One of the gorgeous waterfalls near town.

It’s incredibly easy to meet people in Luang Prabang, Laos. Even if you have your own private bungalow, which is common, the bars and restaurants are a prime place for meeting others.

It’s one of few places in Laos where you can stay out past 11 if you head to the bowling alley, and it’s got a wealth of cool things to do like taking a sunset cruise down the Mekong River, or heading to the aquamarine blue waterfalls just outside of town. The mix of French and Laotian cultures lends itself to interesting architecture and food, too.

Book your stay in Luang Prabang here!

Those are my favorite places for solo travelers and, after traveling solo for a month or longer in each country in Southeast Asia (except for Myanmar but it is on my list), these are the ones I enjoyed the most.

Each year, a new place pops up in Southeast Asia that’s all the rage, so I also suggest talking to other travelers when you’re on the road, and to leave a bit of room for serendipity in your itinerary so that you can take their suggestions.

After all, Southeast Asia is full of exciting new adventures, and the best way to experience them is on your own.

What are the best places in Southeast Asia for solo travelers? In this list, I included 10 destinations in Southeast Asia that are safe for solo travelers, easy to meet others, and gorgeous to travel in.

    Thank you. This is very inspiring. I am constantly waiting for others to want to go to the places I want to go. And I have recently come to the realization that life is to short to wait. I want to see all parts of the world, even if it means traveling solo. I’m glad to see that others do travel solo and safely. Now, time to decide where I want to embark on my first journey by myself. Thank you again!! 🙂

      Yes Elizabeth!! I came to the same realization a few years ago and I’m so glad that I didn’t wait. Solo traveling is really amazing for so many reasons – namely because it’s entirely your own experience, unaffected by anyone else, and that is beautiful.

    I definitely agree with Phong Nha Ke Bang, Vietnam! The owner of the farmstay where we stayed definitely encouraged a ‘summer camp’ kind of feel between the guests and we had the best time there traveling around with a pack of our new best friends 🙂

    Oh, how I miss South East Asia. Such a wonderful part of the world!

    Even traveling as a couple, we easily made friends along the way. The Gili Islands (we went to the slightly quieter Gili Meno, but heard the parties from Gili T!!) are absolutely beautiful and a great place to chill out and meet people. We never made it to Pai, but it’s definitely somewhere we want to visit on our next trip to Thailand – we’ve heard lots of great things about it!

    Great great stuff around here. Such a gem of a blog, as much as I believe Asia is going to be. Only ever been to India but me and my boyfriend are now planning Japan + SE Asia starting in the New Year! Bought a one way ticket and that’s it! So daunting but yet exciting! We are leaving our jobs as well (part of the reason why it’s daunting). What sort of general advice would you give us Kristin?

    Thanks xxx

    Hello Kristin,

    I really enjoyed your blog post, I live and grew up in Singapore and I haven’t been to any part of SE Asia yet. But seeing so much beautiful photos from travelers it has really interest me to travel – solo. I haven’t try this before and not sure how safe it will be to travel solo; I have heard a lot of negativity comments about solo travel (especially given that Singapore is relatively different from our neighbors). After reading your post, it really made me want to go now! It is rare to see solo female traveler, I have been trying to find information on that before shooting off end of this year. Thank you for sharing your experience. I will definitely get your book! 🙂

    Cheers!

      Hi Qian, I felt quite safe in Southeast Asia. There are actually tons of solo travelers. I was surprised to meet so many! Once you get out there and start traveling, you quickly figure out how to haggle, how to detect scams, how to stay safe. Southeast Asia is a great place to start. It’s pretty safe, cheap, and easy to get around. Have fun!

    Hi Kristin!

    This is a great list thanks for sharing, I’m heading off on my travels in Jan 16 and SE Asia is the first leg of my journey and also the one I’m most nervous about. I have been toying with the idea of booking some kind of tour to start me off, would you recommend this? I have been told my others its a bad idea as its to rigid but I’m worried about getting started on my own! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

      10/26/2015 at 9:33 am

      Hi Hayley, I think a tour in Southeast Asia is a bad call too. It’s so unnecessary and SO much more expensive than doing it independently. SEA has tons of tourist infrastructure, it’s pretty safe for the most part, really cheap, and probably the easiest place I’ve ever traveled alone. There are lots of other travelers to meet and I think you’ll find that once you get there there’s no reason to be nervous. Just my two cents 🙂

Any tips on how to plan travel between destinations? I have booked my first hostel in bangkok so far and that is it! In your experience do you end up travelling around with people that you meet along the way?

          I didn’t even book my first hostel in advance, actually. You can just do things the day of and be completely spontaneous and it doesn’t cost any extra. The only times you’ll want to book ahead are holidays. I met people very easily. Staying in hostels is the easiest way to do so. I was almost never actually alone 🙂

            So after reading your reply I went with your advice and just booked one flight and one hostel in Bangkok and winged the rest of my trip! I was in SE Asia for just over 6 months in the end and I’m so so glad I did it that way. Your blog was not only an inspiration for me but it gave me the confidence that I could do this! And wow it’s been such a ride and I wouldn’t change it for the world! My adventure isn’t over yet either! I have decided to pitch up in Sydney and try Aussie life for a while! Heading up the east coast for three weeks later in the month…..I’ve got that travel bug now! I think I can officially kiss goodbye to fixed abodes! THANK YOU! XXX

    I’ve been to, or am going to, most of these. I loved Pai and Don Det. Those are two of my all-time favourite places! I have to say, though, that Otres Beach was far too quiet for me. I wasn’t even travelling alone at that point and I felt like there was nothing to do. If I’d been by myself I doubt I’d have had a conversation with anyone the whole time, but perhaps it’s just because it was low season. Koh Rong is a better bet at that time of year.

      11/01/2015 at 6:32 am

      Back when I went Koh Rong was so small and quiet. I’ve heard now they actually have full moon parties (?!). Otres was great for me because of who was there. I made a lot of friends and I love swimming. I can just spend all day swimming so I’m not bored there 🙂

And I want to try Don Det after Bali, I am curios what’s in there. For sure, it will be another awesome journey for me. Again, congrats for traveling solo and having that confidence on yours.

    Hi Kristin,

    I have just found and read your blog post about South East Asia which sounds and looks amazing. I am planning on starting my 3 months of travels in March/April time and would like to visit Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. But this being the first time I have ever done anything like this I am struggling of knowing where and how to start the planning and organising of my trip. Is there any websites or advice you could possibly give on how to plan and organise? Another question, on your first trip alone, did you find it quite ‘normal’ getting into the swing of the travelling lifestyle?

    Thank you so much in advance,

      I don’t usually book or specifically plan too much ahead of time. You can do a lot once you arrive and it allows you to be flexible. I tend to research as I go. Hope that helps!

    Before, i had a plan to solo travel. But i still fear of something will happen if i go alone.
    I worry for the people i’ll meet, for accommodation, for vehicle to move, … It makes me postpone my plan from last year up to now.
    But actually, when i read your blog, it gives me courage to do. It make me think that i must travel to experience this world. It is also my dream that i should do when i am young….
    Thanks for giving me an inspiration to follow my dream…

    So any advise for a 56 year-old woman who is thinking of traveling in Asia solo? i have traveled quite a bit, some solo when I was younger. My concern is that all travelers will be young people who will not have much in common with me!
    the other… and this may sound silly to you, but the comfort level of the beds. Did I say I am 56? and I have some slipped discs etc that come with… the dreaded aging process. Gosh I don’t want to have back pain while traveling!!

      Hey Silvia, I think if you pay a bit more for accommodation you can have much better beds. A little more cash goes a long way in Southeast Asia. I’d also suggest looking into meetup groups and interest groups while you travel and you might find others who are a similar age to you out there traveling solo too! I have a bunch of suggestions in my solo travels book, which is meant for all ages, if you’re interested: https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/solo-female-travel-guidebooks/

      I lived there for 8 months when I was 21. It was actually my first solo destination ever. Loved it so much.

    Hi Kristin, I just came across your blog. I’m looking to do a solo trip early 2018 and am still torn about where to go: SE Asia or South America is where I’ve narrowed it down to. Granted to-each-their-own, but any opinions on one over the other?

      Gosh they’re both so different. I think SEA is really nice and easy, and cheaper, but both are honestly fantastic. Sorry that probably didn’t help. I did write more on why I like SEA for beginner travelers here: https://www.bemytravelmuse.com/best-countries-for-beginner-travelers/

    We went to Tioman island for three days and ended spending fifteen days on the island . It’s a stunner to say the least . Inexpensive, nature its got it all .

    Koh Chang is cheap but was pretty empty when I was there. I got bored after two days.

      It’s definitely pretty laid back. I’m guessing high season is better.
