Bangkok

For first-time visitors, 3–4 days is ideal to cover the main temples, river cruise, markets and at least one shopping or night-market evening. If you want to include Ayutthaya, floating markets, Safari World or Dream World, plan 5–7 days.

The most comfortable period is November to February, when the weather is cooler and less humid, with relatively low rainfall – perfect for sightseeing and outdoor markets.

If you want to experience festivals, consider mid-April for Songkran or November for Loy Krathong and lantern festivals (often combining Bangkok with Chiang Mai).

Absolutely. With attractions like SEA LIFE, Safari World, Dream World, kid-friendly malls and parks, Bangkok works well for families if you plan around heat and traffic and choose central, convenient accommodation.
