About — Bangkok
Bangkok can change its face in a matter of minutes. Walk out of Wat Phra Kaew by the Chao Phraya River, ride the BTS a few stops, and you hit big malls and skyscrapers in the heart of Siam. Come evening there are night markets and rice-and-curry shops down the sois to graze through.
People visiting Bangkok tend to pack a lot into one day — temples, markets, cafes, and rooftop bars — because the food and sights sit close together and link up easily by skytrain and boat.
Best time: November–February, cooler than the rest of the year with little rain — comfortable for walking around outdoors
