Bangkok is the charming capital of Thailand where the sun never sets. It’s lively throughout the day and is buzzing with energy. Navigating through it might prove to be overwhelming. So here are a few tips.
Informed Travelling
Get a good map as streets in Bangkok is a proper labyrinth and quite easy to get lost in. there are plenty of taxies available but be mindful of the rush hours. It’s always best to ask the driver to turn the meter on so you don’t get scammed or overcharged. If the driver doesn’t comply get off and catch another. Using the Skytrain and MRT can easily get you to your destination and it’s faster as well.
Carry A hotel Card with you
As some taxi drivers don’t speak English, they might have a hard time understanding you. Showing a hotel card with their address written on that can help tremendously.
Plan ahead
Bangkok is a city full of different aesthetics and different places from fun theme parks to nightclubs. Making a proper plan will help you get the most out of your time. Include the hotels you need to stay in, food, mode of transportation, and the budget. If you are travelling with your kids, there are many great family hotels in Bangkok such as the likes of Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort.
Stay hydrated
Bangkok’s scorching heat is hard to handle unless you are properly hydrated at all times. But fear not, there are many vendors with drinks and cool bottles of water at every corner.
Carry a photocopy of your passport
Carrying an ID at all times is a must in Thailand. So, if you are nervous about carrying the passport everywhere carry a photocopy of it.
