City facts that are useful

Bangkok is blessed with a tropical climate. The city has three seasons: a dry season that lasts from November to February, a hot season that lasts from February to May, and a rainy season that lasts from June to October. Temperature fluctuations are minor throughout the year, with the average temperature being 27°C (81°F) in January, the coldest month, and 30.5°C (87°F) in April, the hottest. The temperature in Bangkok is always 3 - 5°C higher than in the surrounding non-urban regions due to the urban heat effect.

Bangkok is the second biggest city in Southeast Asia, behind Jakarta in Indonesia, with a population of 8 million people in the city itself and another 6 million in the Greater Bangkok area. The capital city is home to more over one-fifth of Thailand's population.

Most residents do not refer to the capital city as "Bangkok"; instead, they refer to it as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon or just Krung Thep. Thai, a member of the Kra-Dai language family, is by far the most widely spoken language in Bangkok. Other Southeast Asian languages, such as Khmer, Lao, Vietnamese, and Malay, have tiny populations of speakers. Many people in the tourist sector speak English, while some also speak French, German, Japanese, or Russian.

Best vacation spots and activities

Wat Pho is a Thai temple. The Wat Pho temple, which is older than Bangkok itself, is one of the most spectacular specimens of Buddhist architecture in the region. It was restored in the 17th and 18th centuries, first by King Rama I and later by his successor King Rama III. It is also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. There are almost a thousand Buddha statues and sculptures in the temple, the biggest of which is 46 meters long.

The Siam Museum. Thailand's previous name was Siam, which was changed only in 1949. This one-of-a-kind museum is dedicated to the country's vast and varied history. As a "discovery museum," it encourages visitors to learn by doing, so you'll be able to engage in historic tribal warfare, prepare local food, try on traditional costumes, and even ride a tuk-tuk rickshaw, maybe Bangkok's most iconic emblem in the twenty-first century.

The Grand Palace. The magnificent palace, perhaps Bangkok's most spectacular structure, is home to Thailand's royal family. Fortunately, tourists are permitted to enter, so you may admire the massive architectural complex from the outside, explore its halls from the inside, and get a good look at Wat Phra Kaew, better known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
