The official language of Thailand is Thai, and while most people in Bangkok can understand and speak some English, having a few basic Thai phrases in your repertoire will go a long way with the locals. Alternatively, download a translator app on your phone to help make communication easier!

Making your booking at a hotel in Sukhumvit is always a good idea and the Maitria Hotel Sukhumvit 18 is the perfect base whether you’re a businessman or a family looking for a serviced apartment to make your base in Bangkok.

While Bangkok has the MRT system, tuk-tuks and even cabs you can hail off the road, downloading Grab will save you a lot of time and worry since you already know how much your trip will cost you at the outset. The safety check-in feature also makes it very reassuring when you’re travelling back to your hotel after a night out on the town.
