ALL IN ONE
by fedecec
Bangkok offers all you can find in a westerner city, but here all is surrounded by the typical thai (and oriental too) atmosphere: peaceful people with their hand holds to help you and a honest smile on their mouth. I saw people with unlucky life smile and laugh; not like us. Sometimes we are rabid with all the World only for stupid things going wrong! Thailand is also called "LAND OF SMILE" and this is the right nickname for this fantastic country. Thais smile a lot, be like them and you will have a very great time there.
Year Round Bangkok Weather!
by machomikemd
Bangkok can be hot and humid throughout the year, with temperatures often reaching 35°C (95°F). The best time to visit is between November and February as April is generally the hottest month and October the wettest.
The Thais often say: We have only two seasons, hot and hotter. This is true as far as it's never cold in Thailand. Officially however there are three seasons:
Cool (from November to February) with temperatures in the mid twenties to thirties (Celsius).
Hot (from March to May) with temperatures always above 30 and often around 40.
Rainy (from June to October) with temperatures in the mid twenties and regular tropical rain and thunder showers.
In Bangkok and the South of Thailand it is never cold but in the North temperatures can come close to 0 during the night in the cool season.
Muang Boran ~ The Sanphet Prasat Palace Singha

Singha - most people know it as a brand of popular Thai beer...now they even have Singha gold mainly for exports but in some restaurant they are serving it.
Singha anyway is a lion..but funny - it sometimes has wings as well!!!
Proud To Be Thai
by Meadows11
The Thai's generally seem to be very patriotic. They are also very proud of their monarch, and it is not at all uncommon to see photographs of the king in local homes or even in stores. You will see other examples of patriotism all over the city, and for example you will even have to stand for the national anthem prior to a cinema screening a film.
Packing List
by chngbw
Jus pack a small bag there because u can get really cheap luggage and bags over at BKK [MBK shopping ctr, Patpong or Chatuchak weekend market] to store all your shopping harvest! Pack a combination of bermudas and pants. If u intend to visit the Grand Palace, do dress appropriately. No shorts, short skirts, bermudas, fisherman's pants, sleeveless clingy tank tops/singlet. Otherwise u'll hafta rent a pants or a long skirt at the entrance. Bring anti-diarrhoea tablets and lotsa tissue papers. Very few places sell lithium batteries. A roll of film sold at tourist spots cost about 50B more than those sold in the shopping centres. Sunglasses is recommended for there are not many shady places along the streets during the day. I personally don't believe in getting counterfeit sunglasses as the UV quality of the lens is often questionable. So try to get a sunglasses in your home country before going there for imported stuff in Thailand is much more expensive!!
