Daytime tuk-tuk travel is generally fine for solo women in tourist areas. Use hotel-recommended drivers when possible, or apps if available. Sit in the middle of the back seat rather than the side. Keep your phone charged and share your expected route or destination with someone if you're unsure. Most drivers are respectful, but if a driver makes you uncomfortable or takes an unexpected route, ask to stop and get out in a safe, busy area. Trust your instincts. Many solo female travelers use tuk-tuks daily without issues, especially in well-touristed areas during daylight hours. Dressing modestly and being confident also helps.
