Any plane that flies to Thailand will land at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Then tourists change to a convenient mode of transport. This airport has ten VIP lounges.
The history of the development and origin of Bangkok
Bangkok is not the first capital of Thailand. Once this primacy belonged to a port city called Ayutthai. Subsequently, the city was destroyed, and the city of Tonburi, which today is part of Bangkok, became the capital. Bangkok was renamed Krung Thep (City of Angels), but for many years, residents of other countries have called it that way.
Bangkok weather
The climate of the capital of Thailand is a triple seasonal division into heat, rainy and cool. The heat in Bangkok comes when the first month of spring comes to us. The rainy season lasts from October to November, and the coolness comes in November and lasts until March. The temperature fluctuation in the off-season does not exceed five degrees, and is 30-25 degrees above zero.
Tourists "attack" the magnificent Bangkok during the hot and cold seasons.
Dividing the city into districts
The center of the capital is represented by the island of Rattanakosin. This island is home to the royal palace and the main temples of the country. The Banglampo region is also of interest for tourists, this area is also rich in attractions. And, of course, one cannot fail to mention Chinatown, where the Golden Buddha is present, as well as a huge number of retail outlets and shops with jewelry.

Tourists with the smallest budget will look for accommodation on Khao San Road.
