WHY GO?

Bangkok is proof that adventure doesn't need to be expensive. Yes it has awe-inspiring temples and galleries, irresistible street food and buzzing night markets, but it also boasts loads of affordable stays.

The city shines year-round, from the lively high season between November and April to the quieter, rain-washed months of May to October, when prices dip and the crowds thin. Whether you're using it as the gateway to a longer Thai journey or simply exploring its vibrant streets, Bangkok offers endless inspiration. Here's how to experience the best of the capital on a shoestring.
