Best time to visit
Bangkok is hot year-round, but the dry season (November to February) is most comfortable: less rain and more bearable temperatures. Avoid September and October due to monsoon. December is peak season with higher prices, but the weather is outstanding. If you're chasing cheaper flights, travel in May-June or September, though rainfall will be heavier.
What to do when you arrive
Bangkok is your gateway airport. Spend days visiting temples (Wat Pho, Grand Palace), the Damnoen Saduak floating market and street food. Easy connections from Bangkok to Phuket, Krabi or Chiang Mai. Public transport is cheap and reliable. Eat where locals do: the best pad thai is from nameless street stalls in side alleys.
