Things to do in Bangkok
46 picks in Bangkok, Thailand: spots, food and events for travelers.
Thailand's capital pairs the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho and Wat Arun along the Chao Phraya River with the huge Chatuchak Weekend Market, Chinatown's street food on Yaowarat Road and big shopping malls around Siam.
Good to knowThe BTS Skytrain and MRT subway skip the road traffic, and Chao Phraya Express boats stop near the riverside temples. The Airport Rail Link runs from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Phaya Thai in about 26 minutes. The cool, drier season (roughly November to February) is the most comfortable time to visit.
