As you know, Bangkok is one of the top tourist dentitions in the world. Bangkok is the capital and largest metro city of Thailand, with over 10 million people living in the city as of 2020.

So let’s start off with the information you need to know<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Time To Visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Like all the major cities in South-East Asia, the city has a topical climate, so it’s warm all year round. The best time to visit the place would be around November to February, where the climate is a bit cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The average temperature throughout the year is 30-35 degree Celsius. However, during the mid of April, there’s a festival called as Songkran, which is considered as the New Year of Thailand. The festival is one of the top ones in the world, which you don’t want to miss out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can perform the change right at the airport (Suvarnabhumi Airport) directly. But you tend to get a better rate outside the place. So be sure to check out first on the rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
