Insider Tips for Bangkok
Get the most out of your Bangkok adventure with these helpful tips:
- ➤Getting Around: Utilize the BTS Skytrain and MRT subway for efficient travel, avoiding traffic. Use ride-hailing apps (Grab) or metered taxis. Negotiate tuk-tuk fares beforehand. River boats/ferries are great for riverside attractions.
- ➤Street Food Savvy: Bangkok is famous for street food! Look for stalls with high turnover. Try Pad Thai, Som Tum (papaya salad), Mango Sticky Rice, and various noodle soups. Drink bottled water.
- ➤Temple Etiquette: Dress respectfully when visiting temples and the Grand Palace (shoulders and knees covered for both men and women). Remove shoes before entering temple buildings.
- ➤Currency & Bargaining: The currency is the Thai Baht (THB). ATMs are widely available. Bargaining is expected at markets (Chatuchak, Patpong) but not usually in malls or established shops.
- ➤Stay Hydrated & Cool: Bangkok is hot and humid. Drink plenty of water, wear light clothing, use sunscreen, and take advantage of air-conditioned malls and cafes during the hottest part of the day.
