When to Go
›
Winter (late Dec/early Jan)
This is both the coolest time of year in Bangkok and the
peak tourist season. Consider November or February for similarly cool weather and fewer
people.
›
Wet season (May-Oct)
During the monsoon period, Bangkok receives as much as
300mm of rain per month. The good news is that downpours are generally brief and tourist
numbers are relatively low.
Book Your Stay
If your idea of the typical Bangkok hotel was influenced by
The Hangover Part II
,
you'll be pleased to learn that the city is home to a diverse spread of modern hostels,
guesthouses and hotels. To make matters better, much of Bangkok's accommodation is ex-
cellent value, and competition is so intense that fat discounts are almost always available.
