TLDR : Answer Summary
Traveling solo in Thailand can be a rewarding experience. Key destinations include Chiang Mai for mountains, Phuket for beaches, and Bangkok for excitement. It's recommended to check out local Facebook groups for support and advice. Packing light is crucial; consider a small backpack with breathable clothing and essential items such as a debit card for withdrawals at ATMs. Utilize online platforms like Agoda and Booking.com for accommodation, and apps like Grab and Bolt for transport. Also, familiarize yourself with local transportation options from the airport.

Small backpack 25L and a waist pack. Buy slide sandals or flip flops from your own country. Big plastic bag for the sandals. Wear breathable training/running shoes and bring three pairs breathable thin socks for travel. 2 t-shirts. 2 lightweight shorts. Leave room in backpack for 100฿ elephant long pants for temple visits - buy those here in TH.
Passport in clear sandwich plastic bag. Debit card (the charge is 220฿ per transaction - use the yellow kungsri ATMs because you can get 30,000฿ per transaction, and remember to hit the button bottom left “NO conversion”.
Keep total below 7kg. Backpack and waistpack. Then you can fly around Thailand with no extra baggage charges.
Nokair.com is one of the cheap airlines.
