All you need to know about holidays to Bangkok

How to get to Bangkok

Bangkok is often the starting point for one of the many beach based holidays in Thailand, but this vibrant city is a holiday destination in itself. The average flight time from the UK to Suvarnabhumi airport is 11 hours. The airport is located about 30 km from the city centre. The traffic in Bangkok is notorious as are the taxi drivers who are keen to negotiate prices and rarely have change! But cheap holidays to Bangkok can start with cheap Bangkok flights and a good deal on cheap Bangkok car hire.

Where to stay in Bangkok

Bangkok holidays are good for accommodation to suit every budget. If you are only there for a few days it's best to stay near a Skytrain stop. They make navigation easy and are air conditioned. At the budget end of the scale, cheap holidays to Bangkok are often based in Banglamphu, with lots of low cost accommodation. Chinatown boasts many boutique style hotels and is popular with shoppers Siam Square boasts luxury hotels to suit honeymoons and business travellers.

What to do in Bangkok

Holidays in Bangkok are for the hustle, bustle and shopping, with the region being very big on fake designer goods, but there is also tranquillity to be found in its many temples and the colourful beauty of the famous Floating Market. The nightlife is famous, almost akin to a giant street party at night. The more spiritually minded may prefer to focus on the tranquilities of Wat Mahathat, the centre of Buddhist teaching.

Travel Tips

Travel Tips for Bangkok

  • Wat PhoI'd seen pictures but wasn't prepared for the scale of this temple! Huge reclining Buddha, beautiful grounds, it's the stuff exotic holidays are made for.

  • Benjakiti ParkPart of the joy for me when on a city based holiday is to seek out the greet spots that the locals enjoy, and this is a small gem. It's dominated by a large lake but it's a great peaceful spot for a sit down or lunch. You can even take a raised walkway all the way to the next park!

  • Benjasiri ParkThe perfect tonic to city life. We were stuck in Bangkok for a week whilst travelling and this was our favourite place, pretty gardens, ponds and nice places to sit and raed. Also, you can see people play thai football!

  • Erawan MuseumSimultaneously both the weirdest and one of the most intriguing and imaginative places i've ever been. You'll first see the HUGE three-headed elephant on the roof and it doesn't get much less mad from there! Definitely get a guide and you'll be taken into the crazy world of the creator.
