Thailand was the only Southeast Asian representative in a list of world's 10 best solo travel destinations this year, according to a new report by private guided luxury travel service Kensington.

Countries like India and Thailand ranked highly because of the history and culture they have to offer, the report said.

Thailand has long been famous for its golden pagodas, friendly locals and favorable visa policy.

Known for its captivating culture, vibrant culinary landscape, and breathtaking natural beauty, Thailand stands out as a premier destination for solo travelers.

India ranked No.1, followed by Italy and Japan.

Rounding out the top 10 solo travel destinations were Egypt, Thailand, Australia, Spain, Iceland, France, and New Zealand.

The report is based on insights from "affluent" travelers, drawing from Kensington’s 2024 data and two external surveys conducted in partnership with Opinium Research and Dig Insight.
