Hi Tinkerbell. I am leaving the UK late January to Bangkok. I was thinking of booking myself onto a tour a I have never travelled on my own before so at least I would have something planned.
People who I know who have travelled before say that it is easy to meet people but I suppose you don't know until you get there!
Let me know what you are thinking.

Hi Tinkerbell.

I went to Thailand as my first port of call on my solo travels in 2007. I booked a hostel for my first few nights, but I needn't have bothered. I'd book for the first night (perhaps two nights, maximum) so you can find your feet. I didn't book any group things (but I do like my own company and am pretty independent) and I found Bangkok fine. I met a girl at the airport who stayed at my hostel, so it was pretty easy to meet people. I then made my way around Thailand alone and had few problems. Just try to stay around crowds at stations, etc., as there are weirdos there the same as anywhere else. I absolutely loved Thailand. I met some lovely locals on night trains, in guest houses, restaurants, etc., so enjoy! I am envious!

Hi My daughter is desperate to go travelling but hasn't anyone to go with at present. Is there anyone out there who is in a similar position that would possibly meet up with her and plan a trip?
