Here are our 5 Tips For Traveling Asia Alone: Check out our single traveler tips for traveling alone in SE Asia, and give us some of your own.

5 Tips For Traveling Asia Alone:

Tip 1:

1. Avoid being a traffic statistic or victim of drive-by pickpockets.

Watch out for fast-paced traffic, especially motorcycles. Some areas have no stop lights and have  traffic zipping  by on both sides. Although it is rare, the sidewalks can be another field of battle. At noon, in Phnom Penh, walking on the sidewalk, I had a car back into me! Luckily, I wasn’t hurt at all but pretty surprised. Be aware that popular tuk-tuk’s are wide open and on a level with nearby motorcycles making it easy to have a “hit and run” bike relieve you of your valuables.

Tip 2:

2. Dress modestly when visiting select tourist sites.

Both men and women must be adequately covered when entering temples and royal palaces. Besides removing hats, shoes and sunglasses, shoulders and knees must be covered. (Moreover, women may need to wear pants or a skirt that will reach the ankles.)

Tip 3:

3. Watch out for taxis that may take you on an unplanned odyssey, emptying your wallet.

Cabs can be an issue. Always ask if there are reliable taxi companies before you begin traveling alone in any foreign destination.

5 Tips For Traveling Asia Alone:

Tip 4:

4. Don’t get lost in busy crowded tourist spots and subways.

If sightseeing with a friend or guide, start by exchanging cell phone numbers. With the sheer volume of vacationers, it is easy to get separated while stopping to take a photo.

5 Tips For Traveling Asia Alone:

Tip 5:

5. Follow local laws carefully. They are stringently enforced. The most serious is drug possession/trafficking. However, taking photos in prohibited areas can also result in being detained, and photos being deleted.
