Bangkok

Street food, rooftop bars and the best transport hub in Asia.

Travellers come here for nightlife, food, meeting people and culture.

When to go

Aim for January, December and February. Think twice about September, June and July — that is the wet season.

Getting there

Airports serving Bangkok: BKK and DMK. Bangkok is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.

Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $388, 1 stop. Found 70 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
