Best season to visit Bangkok?
November-February is cool and dry (25-32°C) — peak season, so book 3 months ahead. March-May is scorching (40°C). Avoid September-October, the rainiest months, unless you want cheap hotels and empty temples.
Bangkok hot season survival tips?
March-May hits 40°C. Plan temples and Chatuchak market for early morning, retreat to air-conditioned malls (Siam Paragon) midday, and drink coconut water constantly. April's Songkran water festival turns the heat into a party.
Bangkok rainy season — worth it?
June-October brings brief afternoon downpours, not all-day rain. Hotels drop 40-50%, crowds vanish, and everything is green. Carry a cheap umbrella and a waterproof bag — the rain rarely ruins a whole day.
