Bangkok is a tropical city so it's pretty warm throughout the year! Avoid April, May
when the weather is especially hot and sticky (temperatures around 34 C) although one of Thailand's most celebrated festivals - Songkran, takes place in
April and involves lots of water throwing to cool down. Best time to visit is from October until February with temperatures around 25- 28 C, light breezes
and only the occasional shower.. June to September still has plenty of sunshine and is much cooler (around 24-28 C) but is the season for rain and is
actually quite refreshing! The advantages are less visitors and better hotel rates.
What to Wear
Forget the tight
pants and clinging dresses (at least for the day) and go for light, loose cotton clothing. When visiting temples, certain museums and the Grand Palace
remember to dress appropriately. Shorts, singlets, spaghetti straps and open backed sandals are not acceptable. | |
