Being in Bangkok will give all your five senses the experience of a lifetime - the humidity and heat, the noises of a typical Asian urban city, the congested traffic, the combined smells from pollution and food stalls - it might be a little overwhelming for those who are not used to the insanity of Asia's urban cities. Bangkok is a fast-paced city full of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. In Bangkok, you can expect places of interests such as magnificent temples and palaces, canals, food markets and also don't miss out on enjoying a night out exploring the vibrant nightlife the city offers.
Bangkok is a destination that is busy all year round, regardless of what the weather conditions are. However, if you plan to visit some of Thailand's beaches, then it is best to come during the dry season in November till February. The city is especially at its peak in mid-April during the biggest festival of the year named Songkran or also known as the Thai New Year. Songkran is the city's biggest water fight party. You will witness both locals and tourists having the time of their lives during this festival. It's recommended to pre-book your accommodations and flights three months earlier as rates shoot up during this season too as the crowds are usually quite massive.

Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Muang Airport – Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, is served by two airport terminals, namely Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang Airport. Both airports are located approximately 30 kilometres from the city centre, which is about a half-hour drive, excluding factors such as the congested traffic. Thus it is always highly encouraged for passengers to leave for the airport at least three hours before boarding time. Suvarnabhumi Airport is used by all major airlines except for Nok Air, Orient Thai and AirAsia which is instead stationed in the Don Muang Airport. Travellers who are flying in from the Philippines can directly fly to Bangkok via airline providers such as Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines and Thai Airlines which would land in the Suvarnabhumi Airport, while travellers who board the AirAsia Philippine Airlines will land directly in the Don Muang Airport.
Much like all the other cities in Thailand, Bangkok too experiences a tropical savanna climate. There are three main seasons that Bangkok undergoes, dry season, rainy season and cool season. The temperatures remain hot throughout the year with average high temperatures varying by only a few degrees between the hot season and the cool season. The rainy season runs from June to October. During this period, you can expect short periods of rainy weather, with heavy downpours that mainly occur in the afternoon. Between November till February is when Bangkok has a drier season, during this time the city also welcomes more crowds of tourists as it is often peak season to travel to Bangkok during the drier climate.
