Bangkok, Thailand
SaveOverview
Bangkok heat decides the clock: temples at opening, river boats when the asphalt shines, malls when the 15:00 storm hits. Grand Palace and Wat Pho sit in one island cluster; Wat Arun is a ferry, not a walk around the bend. Chinatown and Wat Saket stay east of the palace; Jim Thompson and Lumphini sit on the BTS spine. Chatuchak is a weekend north hop, not a same-day walk from Wat Pho. A Rabbit card plus the river beats sitting in Sukhumvit. Cover shoulders in wats and keep 20-baht notes for boats.
Highlights: November–February for drier days and temple walks.
BTS/MRT with a Rabbit card; river boat for the palace cluster; Grab for sois.
Watch the river-taxi gap and zip bags on crowded BTS platforms.
Emergency: 112 / 112 · 112 works in most of Europe/Asia roaming.
