About Bangkok

Thailand's capital sprawls along the Chao Phraya river, and moving around it shapes the trip: the BTS Skytrain, MRT metro and river boats reach most of what visitors want, while traffic makes road journeys slow. Temples and the Grand Palace are ticketed, and street food is everywhere. Hot and humid year round, wettest from about May to October, coolest and driest from November to February.
