07 Mistakes People Make on Their First Trip to Bangkok - For a satisfying vacay in ‘Land of Smiles’!

With its warm and welcoming people, glorious mountains, unique culture, mesmeric beaches, tranquil nature, bustling cities and mouthwatering food, Bangkok has something exciting for everyone. Avoid these mistakes when you plan your trip.

1

Don't pack too many clothes

It is easier said to pack lightly when you are planning a trip overseas. As a tip of advice, it is recommended to pack light and buy the essentials you need such as travel clothes and gear once you arrive in Bangkok. You will be offered a myriad of shopping options including essentials for reasonable prices. The weather here is fine all year round so you will only need a few summer clothes.

2

Choosing the right hotel

As we all know, Bangkok is a congested city and it's huge. Therefore, it really makes sense if you can invest a little time to choose the right hotel when planning your trip as it will reduce so much hassle. Staying close to your intended destinations and activities will save you time. If you are looking for an apartment rental in Bangkok, Thailand the likes of Somerset Riverside Bangkok, you'll have the opportunity to explore the city's iconic attractions.

Best time to visit

When it comes to the best time to visit Bangkok for comfortable sightseeing and good weather, November to early February will be the ideal time to plan your itinerary. Those who visit this fascinating city in the rest of the months will also have many exciting things to make their stay memorable.

Do not miss these!

The best way to start your Bangkok itinerary will be to visit the fascinating Grand Palace. Make sure to enter the palace with appropriate clothing covering your shoulders and legs. Located behind the Grand Palace, Wat Pho is a beautiful temple that is home to a massive golden reclining Buddha. If you are looking for an ideal spot to spend your evening, look no further than Khaosan. If you visit the Train Market on weekends, there will be live music and many other exciting things to spend memorable nights.

5

Never underestimate the sun

No matter how ready you are to embrace the fine weather, do not consider pushing for a deep tan too early. You will look like a lobster for the rest of your holiday, and you could end up burning your skin as well. Remember to use sun cream until you have a nice base tan.

6

Notorious traffic

Always avoid peak hours when travelling and make sure you leave yourself ample time to travel out and about. Missing your flight will be a more serious pain than missing a dinner plan when in Bangkok.

7

Exchanging currency

One mistake done by a lot of first-time travellers to Bangkok is changing huge amounts of cash at bad exchange rates in their home country. Unless you feel it is necessary, you can avoid having cash as most restaurants and malls accept credit cards. ATMs are widespread as well.
