If you are looking for a great place for your next vacation, Bangkok, Thailand is definitely a good choice to consider. Here are some quick guide and overviews about Bangkok tourism for you to see.

Best Time To Visit Bangkok

The short window of winter lasts between late December and early January, and these cooler temperatures coincide with peak tourist season. November and February are cooler with (typically) fewer people.

Bangkok Weather

April is normally the hottest month in Bangkok, with an average high of 95°F (35°C) with humidity adding an extra layer of heat. December is the coolest month, with an average high of 79°F (26°C).

Bangkok Transportation

Tuk-tuk Taxi

Traffic is unavoidable if in a car or other types of vehicle in Bangkok. Public transportation is rapidly improving, and the BTS (the above-ground Skytrain) and MRT (underground metro) run almost all day, from 6 a.m. to midnight.

However, these kinds of public transportation require separate tickets and rarely connect with each other (fares for both start at $US 0.5). Brightly colored taxis and tuk-tuks are available for hire for an outstanding bargain.

Know Before Visiting

The hottest season in Thailand runs from March to August. Rainy season is unpredictable and varies, but normally runs from June to early October. While it is classified as monsoon season, the rains infrequently last more than an hour or two at a time. Keep in mind that in order to choose the right time to travel to Bangkok.

Language

Like other parts and regions of Thailand, the main language used in Bangkok is, of course, Thai people's mother tongue. But, I must tell you that Bangkok resident is pretty good at English, so visit here, you don't need to worry too much about the language issue.
