Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok remains a timeless favorite among solo travelers. The city is only an hour’s flight from Vietnam and allows visa-free entry for Vietnamese visitors.

Tokyo, Japan
Japan’s capital continues to attract travelers with its unique blend of tradition and modernity. From fashion and architecture to cuisine and entertainment, Tokyo offers endless inspiration. The city’s reputation for safety makes it a top choice for solo visitors who value cultural depth and self-guided exploration.

Singapore
A destination where tradition meets innovation, Singapore remains high on the list for those seeking an energetic, safe, and memorable solo experience. Although the cost of travel is relatively high, its proximity to Vietnam and its vibrant urban rhythm make it irresistible. Beyond iconic city landmarks, Singapore impresses visitors with Michelin-recognized street food, art exhibitions, cultural events, and Changi Airport, often regarded as the best in the world and a destination in itself.

Phu Quoc, Vietnam
Domestically, 62% of Vietnamese travelers plan to travel solo within the country in 2025, with 50% wanting to reconnect with nature and 33% preferring small-town charm.
