About Travel to Bangkok
Bangkok is a major Asian hub with Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports. The BTS Skytrain, MRT, and river ferries help you avoid traffic; taxis and ride apps are cheap. November–February is cooler and drier; April–May is very hot. Book the Grand Palace area and popular restaurants ahead. Allow time for temples, markets (Chatuchak weekend, floating markets), and street food. Dress modestly at religious sites. Bangkok is often a gateway to Chiang Mai, the islands, or Cambodia—consider combining with a few days elsewhere.
