Bangkok city breaks are a feast for your senses, with extravagant architecture, open-air markets, rooftop bars and lines of street food kiosks.
City breaks to Bangkok
Bangkok is a city like no other, with a constant buzz and a treat for all your senses. Your tastebuds will be tantalised with spices and fragrant street food, from Thai-style fried noodles to deep-fried desserts, sold from kiosks lining the streets. As for what you’ll see in Bangkok, the views are unmatched with extravagant architecture, gold spires and rainbow mosaics. It’s not a quiet city either, wherever you go you’ll hear the hustle and bustle of traffic, backed by Buddhist chanting, upbeat music and sellers at market stalls. Admire the jade statue of Budda at the Grand Palace, head down the road to Wat Pho, to see the largest reclined Buddha in the city – be sure to check out its pearl encrusted feet – or see Bangkok from above at the Golden Mount for 360-degree views of the vibrant city. If that’s not enough, there’s also colourful streets, such as Khao San Road with nightclubs and exotic theatrical shows when the sun goes down.
Best time to go to Bangkok
Bangkok has a tropical monsoon climate, feeling hot and humid throughout the year. December and January are the coolest and driest months, with little to no rainfall and temperatures in the low twenties, creeping into the thirties. The best time to visit Bangkok is between November and February, when you can enjoy warm temperatures in the mid-twenties to thirties, ideal for sightseeing. If you want to see a Bangkok festival, then go in April for the Thai New Year or November for Loy Krathong – the festival of lights.
