Things to keep in mind when in Bangkok - Bangkok

A few things to keep in mind when in Bangkok : weather, food, transports, money...

Bangkok is a hot and humid tropical city so it is always advisable to keep drinking lots of fluid to avoid dehydration.

Summers are longer and can extend up to nine months a year and rains can be unpredictable showers might just last for ten minutes, though volume of rainfall is considerably higher than one would imagine.

Thai food available on streets is delicious and cheap and is available almost all time. The preparation of food differs from region to region and language can be a barrier for many tourists.

Commuting around the city by road can prove just too hectic. While taking a taxi around Bangkok do not go to where the taxi driver suggests for places like massage centres, gem and jewellery shops as these drivers get commissions per customer they bring in.

Fix the price from the start while taking a Motor Taxi to commute around Bangkok to reach the desired location on time.

Throughout the city there are plenty of ATM machines and a great way to access cash anytime.
