Practical advice
Due to the year-round hot and humid weather, it is recommended to wear light and airy clothing made from natural materials - it will help you stay relatively cool and comfortable.
Traffic in Bangkok can be busy and chaotic, especially during rush hours. Therefore, we recommend using public transport, such as the subway (MRT) and Skytrain (BTS). You will escape the surrounding traffic jams in these efficient and comfortable means of transport.
If you are traveling by taxi or tuk-tuk, make sure the driver uses a taximeter or agree on a price in advance to avoid misunderstandings or overcharges.
Don't forget to try local culinary specialties such as phad thai, som tum and tom yum in traditional markets, streets and restaurants. Be careful with your drinking water and prefer to drink bottled water to avoid any risk of illness.
Due to the warm and humid climate, many insects live here. Therefore, use repellent, especially in the evening, to protect yourself from mosquitoes and other insect pests.
The local culture is full of traditions and customs, so respect the local customs and traditions. You should wear decent clothes when visiting temples and greet with respect.
Although Bangkok is generally considered a safe place for tourists, still take basic safety precautions. Be careful with your belongings, especially in busy environments and avoid dangerous neighborhoods at night.
