Best time to go to Bangkok

Peak Season:

Some of the warmest, most beautiful days fall from November to January. Cheap flights to Bangkok are harder to find during this period, as tourists flood the city to explore the Wat Arun temple, take a class at the Khao Cooking School, or go on the Essential Thailand tour.

Shoulder Season:

As the weather is humid and cool from May to October, Bangkok sees a lull in tourism, so for those who don’t mind the change in climate, this is an excellent time to visit. The crowds are thinner, so you will have more room to take part in one of the many events, such as Visakha Bucha in May, the Bangkok Film Festival in July, and the Queen's Birthday in August.

Off Season:

Flights are at their cheapest from February to April. The weather during this period can be very warm, but with fewer tourists you will be able to enjoy the Thai New Year celebration, the National Museum, and the Pratunam Market in relative peace.

How to survive the flight to Bangkok?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Bangkok.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bangkok?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Bangkok in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
