<p data-start="230" data-end="555"><span dir="auto" style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span dir="auto" style="vertical-align: inherit;">I'm planning my first solo trip to Southeast Asia next year, and I'm trying to figure out the best approach to make it safe, fun, and immersive. I'm particularly interested in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and I want to balance seeing popular tourist spots with exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations.</span></span>

<p data-start="557" data-end="842"><span dir="auto" style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span dir="auto" style="vertical-align: inherit;">Has anyone here done solo travel in this region? How did you handle transportation, accommodation, and meeting other travelers safely? Also, are there any tips for avoiding tourist traps while still enjoying authentic experiences? Any advice for a first-timer would be super helpful!</span></span>
