Bangkok is a city which truly has to be seen to be believed, and is a real treat for the senses, whether you’re using it as a base for a wider Asian adventure, or just taking a shorter trip.

One of the first things that comes to mind when you think of Bangkok is its nightlife, and you certainly won’t be disappointed, whether it be the notorious Soi Cowboy or the swanky cocktail bars.

You might also want to check out the famous Sky Bar which was used in the film ‘The Hangover Part II’.

However, there’s also a more spiritual side to the city, with lots of temples to explore such as Wat Arun and Wat Pho, but do make sure to be respectful and dress appropriately if you do visit.

If we could recommend one place to see though, it’s The Grand Palace, home to a number of government offices and royal residencies.

You may not have known that Bangkok is also known for its shopping, with street markets and stalls such as the Chatuchak Weekend Market and big shopping centres such as MBK and Terminal 21.

You might also be surprised at how cheap things are in Bangkok, so make sure to make the most of it!

This goes for the food too, whether it be fine dining restaurants, or street food from the various stalls.

In terms of weather, Bangkok has a tropical climate with high temperatures right throughout the year.

We’d recommend avoiding the monsoon season which falls between May and September, when the weather can be very wet and humid!

Between October and February, you’re more likely to enjoy temperatures in the high twenties.
