Our tips for Bangkok

  • Advance Monument Bookings: Reserve dated tickets for major museums and heritage sites weeks ahead to secure preferred entry windows.
  • Sacred Site Dress Codes: When visiting cathedrals, temples, or historic basilicas, ensure shoulders and knees are covered.
  • Weekly Museum Closures: Check opening days in advance, as many state and municipal museums close on Mondays or Tuesdays.
  • Local Dining Etiquette: Explore side streets away from main monument plazas for authentic local cuisine and reasonable prices.

Good to know

Known locally as Krung Thep ('City of Angels'), Bangkok is an exhilarating sensory feast of golden spires, aromatic street food, and bustling river life. The most comfortable travel window spans the cool and dry season from November through February, when gentle tropical breezes and lower humidity make touring the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and outdoor floating markets a pleasure. March through May brings the hottest days of the year, culminating in the joyous water fights of Songkran (Thai New Year) in mid-April. The green monsoon season from June to October brings dramatic afternoon tropical showers that refresh the city, creating excellent conditions for exploring glittering air-conditioned malls, tranquil canal boat tours, and uncrowded night markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What is the best time to visit Bangkok?
    A:

    Bangkok’s peak tourist months are from December to January, when the weather is most pleasant and prices fit your budget. Try to visit in November or late February for relatively cool weather sans the crowds. A year-round destination, there are still plenty of things to do in Bangkok outside the peak tourist season, we promise.

  • Q: How to get around Bangkok?
    A:

    For those looking to keep spending to a minimum on their Bangkok day tours, the BTS sky train operates frequently around the ‘New Bangkok’ districts of Silom, Sukhumvit and Siam Sq with very reasonable ticket prices. Bangkok’s taxis are well-priced and a great way from getting A to B if you’re in a hurry. Drivers are courteous, although be sure to only enter taxis with a meter to avoid being overcharged.

  • Q: What are the must-see attractions in Bangkok?
    A:

    Bangkok has something for everyone. The top historical attractions of Bangkok include the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Wat Traimit, Wat Suthat, National Museum & Wang Na Palace, and more. Make sure to check out the Chatuchak Market for souvenir shopping and the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market by boat. Khao San Road is another gem lined with guest houses, street shops, food vendors and stalls.

  • Q: What is a Tuk Tuk?
    A:

    Navigating this city requires a healthy dose of street smarts and Tuk Tuk is one of the best ways to find your way through Bangkok. Tuk Tuk is a semi-enclosed motorised rickshaw. You can hop into this iconic vehicle for shorter rides not worth the extra taxi fare.

  • Q: Any tips to stay safe in Bangkok?
    A:

    Bangkok is a relatively safe city, although you should always exercise caution when visiting somewhere new. On your Bangkok tours, be wary of rip-off merchants in the form of cheap-fare Tuk Tuk drivers and ‘helpful’ locals who often try to lure locals on detours to commission-paying gem and silk shops. Remember, if price fares seem too good to be true, they probably are. Book with a registered tour provider before travel to ensure you’re not taken advantage of. In an emergency, dial the Tourist Police on 1155 or general emergency services on 191. Bangkok’s drivers rarely give way to pedestrians, so be sure to look both ways before crossing any street.
