💰 How far does your money go?
In Bangkok, small change still buys a proper meal. A pad thai from a street cart is about €1.60, less than a caña on a Madrid terrace. An iced Thai tea costs €1, a ride on the Chao Phraya Express boat €0.45, cheaper than a single Metro ticket back home. A one-hour Thai massage runs around €8, and a full dinner with a cold Chang at a local spot comes in under €10.
☀️ The Weather
April is the hottest month of the year in Bangkok, with highs of 35°C and nights that barely drop below 27°C. May stays around 34°C by day, and the first afternoon storms start to break the heat. June brings the start of the rainy season: 33°C highs, 26°C lows and short, heavy downpours, usually late in the day. Pack light clothes, sunscreen and a cheap poncho.

Temples, canals and street food by day, rooftops and night markets after dark.
Songkran (13 to 15 April): Thai New Year turns the whole city into a water fight. Silom Road and Khao San are the epicentres.
The Grand Palace and Wat Pho: Bangkok's headline sights, side by side. Go at opening time to beat the heat and the crowds.
Khlong boat tour in Thonburi: A longtail ride through the canals on the west bank, past stilt houses and floating vendors.
Jodd Fairs night market: Grilled seafood, towering pork ribs and cheap cocktails under neon, open until midnight.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Bangkok is the gateway to the whole country, not just a city break.
Ayutthaya: The ruined former capital, one hour north by train. Best explored by bike between the temples.
Chiang Mai: Old-city temples, night markets and mountain air, 75 minutes by domestic flight. Search flights
Koh Samui: Gulf of Thailand island that stays drier than the Andaman coast in May and June, just over an hour by plane. Search flights
