About Bangkok

There are very few cities in the world that attract as many tourists as Bangkok does. A major melting pot of cultures, Bangkok is a city that offers something to every visitor. With glittering spires rising high in the sky, long-tail boats floating by the riverside, skyscrapers overlooking the largest markets and neon-lit signs flashing by – Bangkok is a city that never ceases to amaze. While it keeps up with the modern times, Bangkok still has a hold on its roots. A trip to Bangkok is incomplete without a visit to the Grand Palace – a sight of ancient architecture and mesmerizing details. Stroll along the Old City district to know about the city’s history, or hop on a boat ride to visit the famed floating markets. A trip to the colourful Chinatown will uplift your spirits, while a morning visit to Wat Arun will bring some peace. For a taste of Bangkok’s cosmopolitan side, visit Sukhumvit and Silom, when the city’s vibrant nightlife will welcome you wholeheartedly.

When to visit

The best time to travel to Bangkok is during the months of December and February. These months mark the winter season in Bangkok, and have an ideal climate for tourists to explore the city properly. May to October, which is Bangkok’s “low season” is also a great time to visit the city, as most hotels, restaurants and clubs have amazing discount deals. You can also benefit from cheap flights to Bangkok available during this time.
