Why This Community Exists
If you're dreaming of life in Thailand but feel overwhelmed, unsure where to begin, or worried about doing it alone — you're not the only one.
This community exists to help women navigate life in Thailand with confidence, through shared experiences, helpful resources, and real connections.
How It All Started
I moved to Thailand in 2011 when I was 16 years old. Over time, I realized how difficult it could be to find community and relatable support here. Especially as a Black woman navigating life in a completely different culture.
​
That experience led me to create Black Women in Thailand (BWIT) — a space where Black women could connect, share resources, and build meaningful friendships while living abroad. What began as small meetups at my home slowly grew into something much bigger.
​
As the community grew, more women from different backgrounds began joining — all looking for connection, guidance, and belonging.
​
That growth inspired Women in Thailand — a space that welcomes women from all backgrounds while still honoring the roots and mission that started it all.
​
It's is more than just a group. It’s:
-
A platform for women considering life in Thailand to understand what living here is really like.
-
A resource hub to help you navigate your journey.
-
A welcoming space where solo travelers can find their tribe and community.
-
A support system where women like mothers and families can build meaningful connections for their children.
