Bangkok Holidays

From its picturesque architecture, its tantalising shopping to its diverse nightlife, a holiday in Bangkok is the perfect opportunity to visit a cosmopolitan capital of the world.

Located in the stunning city of Thailand, Southeast Asia, visitors can not only satisfy their love for shopping within the capital’s malls but also in the eclectic outdoor markets.

Indulge your cultural senses with a visit to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which is an iconic attraction for most of the locals. Or enjoy a night on the town with cocktails at a rooftop bar or an after- dark shopping experience.

Things to do whilst on holiday 

Bicycle tours are a great way to see the capital, and you won’t have trouble finding one of the many riding companies available. Discover the parks, markets and religious sites (straying from the more dangerous main roads) and see something new. Imagine peddling through the bustling Khao San Road as you stop off for a quick bite to eat.

For the sports enthusiasts among you, check out a Muay Thai boxing bout. Observe the sports paradoxical mix of skill and pure brute force as Thai boxers line-up against one another for sporting glory.

This world capital has such a rich sense of history that you can’t visit without learning more. Take a look at The Ancient City where you can experience a downsized model of Thailand with structures mimicking historical sites in precise geographical configurations.

For the largest collection of Thai artefacts and art, the Bangkok National Museum will be a great learning experience for the ready historian.

Every major city has a Madame Tussauds Wax museum and Bangkok isn’t any different! But at this wax museum you’re encouraged to step behind the velvet rope and hug, touch and kiss the celebrities and stars of the world.

Weather 

Situated fourteen degrees north of the equator, you’ll find that this part of the world constantly sees the sun. We’d recommend visiting from November to February and catching the cooler season. From March to April the hotter season will be in full swing, while from May to October you’ll be in the midst of the wet season. No matter what season, make sure you drink a lot of fluids and try not to dress too heavily, keeping things light and airy.
