Thailand By Thumb

Let’S Not Go. Let’s Go never recommends hitchhiking as a safe means of transportation, and none of the information presented here is intended to do so.

Let’s Go strongly urges you to consider the risks before you choose to hitchhike. Hitching means entrusting your life to a stranger and risking assault, sexual harassment, theft, and unsafe driving. For women traveling alone (or even in pairs), hitching is just too dangerous. A man and a woman are a less dangerous combination; two men will have a harder time getting a lift, while three men will go nowhere. Hitching is legal in Thailand, albeit not extremely common. Though the Thai people are kind and generous, it is never a safe option. Pay the extra baht, and take something official.
