On the 07/12 departure you leave Arlanda at 10:30 and land in Bangkok at 04:00 the next morning. The flight home leaves at 11:05 and lands in Stockholm at 18:00, in time for Christmas. Kayak shows a cabin bag on these fares, with no checked bag.
💰 How far does your money go?
A large beer at a bar in Stockholm costs about €8. In Bangkok, a large Chang from a corner shop is about 60 baht, roughly €1.60, and a plate of pad krapow from a street stall costs the same. A Thai massage runs about 300 baht for an hour, around €8, the price of that beer back home.
☀️ The Weather
December is the start of the cool, dry season in Bangkok. Expect highs of 31-32°C, nights around 22°C and almost no rain. It is the most comfortable month of the year, and the islands to the south are at their best too.
🏨 Where to Stay
Sukhumvit and the riverside are the easiest bases for a first visit.
The Yard Hostel · 9.2/10 · From €23/night
A laid-back garden hostel in Ari, a local neighbourhood full of cafés, two minutes from the BTS.
Ariyasomvilla · 9.0/10 · From €110/night
A restored 1940s family villa off Sukhumvit, with a saltwater pool and a vegetarian Thai restaurant.
The Siam · 9.4/10 · From €484/night
Art deco riverside hideaway in Dusit with its own boat to the Grand Palace. The one to splurge on.
