Expect higher prices for accommodations and flights, as well as larger crowds and longer queues at popular attractions. The Songkran festival, which runs from April 13 to 15, is a three-day water fight that marks the traditional Thai New Year.
Budget shoulder season
The best time to visit Bangkok on a budget is during the shoulder season, from March to May or September to November. The weather is still warm and sunny, but the crowds are smaller, and prices for accommodations and tours are lower. This is a great time to explore the city's markets, try street food, and visit popular attractions without the crowds.
Weather & packing
Bangkok's climate is hot and humid year-round, but the summer months (April to May) bring intense heat and rain showers. Be sure to pack light and breathable clothing, as well as a waterproof jacket or umbrella to cope with the sudden rain showers.
