💰 How far does your money go?
A pad thai from a street cart costs 50-80 THB, under £1.75. A beer at a proper restaurant runs 80-150 THB, about the price of half a pint in Zone 1. Even a full sit-down dinner lands around 400 THB, roughly £8.80, less than a single main course back home.
☀️ The Weather
Bangkok in November and December sits firmly in peak season for a reason. Highs hover around 32°C, dropping to a comfortable 23°C at night. Rainfall is minimal, just a handful of days across both months, and you'll get around 8 hours of sunshine a day.

🎯 What to Do
A city built on temples, street food and canals, best explored slowly.
Longtail boat through the Thonburi klongs — An hour weaving through Bangkok's back canals, away from the traffic and the tour groups.
Wat Arun and the Grand Palace — Cross the river at sunset to watch the Temple of the Dawn light up gold.
Chatuchak Weekend Market — Over 8,000 stalls selling everything from vintage clothes to grilled skewers, Bangkok's biggest market by far.
Rooftop drink at Vertigo & Moon Bar — 360-degree views over the skyline and the Chao Phraya, best at golden hour.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Bangkok is the easiest jumping-off point for the rest of Thailand.
Chiang Mai — Mountains, temples and a slower pace, just over an hour away by domestic flight.
Koh Samui — White sand and a proper island holiday, roughly 1.5 hours by air.
Krabi and the Phi Phi Islands — Limestone cliffs and island-hopping by longtail boat, a 1 hour 15 minute flight from the capital.
