Cheap flights to Bangkok are easy to find thanks to healthy competition for this route. All flights to Bangkok from the UK are out of London Heathrow. British Airways and Quantas offer Bangkok flights, as well as flights to Singapore and Hong Kong, as one of its stopping points on the “kangaroo route” to Australia. Also try Thai Airways and Taiwanese carrier, Eva Airways.
There are two major airports in Bangkok. THe older Don Muang Airport was one of southeast Asia’s busiest, but it has been supplanted by the new Bangkok International Suvarnabhui Airport. The new airport has the world’s largest enclosed terminal as an example of the investment that Thailand is making in its infrastructure. Both airports are within’ miles of the city of Bangkok, and buses, taxis, and hired cars will transport you to either one.
Peak season, November to March, in Bangkok may be more expensive, but is really the only time to visit for most people. Temperatures and humidity are comfortable while flights, hotel rooms can be twice as high as in the off season. In the off season, you’ll find lower prices, as well as hot, humid and rainy weather. Monsoon season lasts from June to October.
None of this has halted Bangkok from attracting tourists from around the globe. It presents an outstanding array of shopping, early culture, and famous nighttime diversions.
The busy capital of Thailand, Bangkok, has been the cultural center for more than two centuries. There is harmony between the villages that are nestled in between the city structures of glass and the stylings of the resturants. The best nighttime entertainment is just a short walk away with everything a shopper’s heart may desire.
You also have the option of taking the BTS sky train, subway, bus or river taxi. Drivers are aggressive in Bangkok, so if you want the convenience of your own car, hire a car and driver for the day.Getting around Bangkok on foot is an option, but it is slow. Tuk-tuks and cabs are inexpensive and almost always faster than walking.
A word about tuk-tuks: all fares are negotiated, so do not get in until you have settled the fare. The drivers will try to talk you into going on special shopping trips or insist the attraction you want to see is closed. They will offer to take you for free if you will stop at their friend’s shop on the way. All these are scams in which the driver gets a cut of what you spend buying trinkets at an over-inflated price.
Some places you will want to check out will in Bangkok are the National Museum and the Grand Palace. The National Museum will allow you the opportunity to learn the history of Thailand. While the Grand Palace allows you to see one of the most famous architectural symbols. And it is sill in use by the Thai Royal Family for ceremonies
The Reclining Buddah is 157 feet long and 49 feet high, gold plated and inlaid with mother of pearl on the soles of its feet. The Joe Luis Theater holds unique nightly puppet theater performances. The puppeteers are trained dancers and are also on stage, playing an integral part of the show.Bangkok’s oldest, largest and most famous temple is Wat Pho, Temple of the Reclining Buddha.
