Things to do in Bangkok

Major cultural sites, such as the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and Wat Saket, are often high on the list for first-time visitors. Visit the world’s highest open-air rooftop bar, the Sky Bar at Lebua, learn more about Bangkok’s past at the National Museum, and relax in Lumphini Park. Bangkok is known for its rich culinary scene. Visit Chinatown for a huge selection of street food, Thonglor for fancy cafes and restaurants, Khlong Toey for local life, and Sathorn for up-scale dining. From malls to markets, there are plenty of shopping opportunities in Bangkok. Chatuchak Weekend Market sells anything you could imagine, while malls like Siam Paragon and Central World have high-end and designer fashions. Patpong Night Market, JJ Green, and MBK mall are other top shopping spots.

When to visit Bangkok

Although there’s no bad time to visit Bangkok, the cool season (November to February) offers the most comfortable weather. Be prepared for showers, storms, and humidity during the May-September wet season. Traditional Thai New Year, Songkran, brings the city to a stop for three days of water-fight fun in April.
