Local Tips for Bangkok
- Download the Grab app for reliable taxi and food delivery services - much safer than street taxis for UK visitors.
- Carry tissue paper and hand sanitiser as many public toilets don't provide these essentials.
- Dress modestly when visiting temples - cover shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering.
- Get a BTS SkyTrain day pass (150 THB) for easy transport around central Bangkok's main attractions.
- Try street food gradually to acclimatise your stomach - start with cooked items from busy stalls with high turnover.
- Negotiate prices at markets like Chatuchak, but remember to be respectful - aggressive bargaining is frowned upon.
- Keep hotel business cards with you as many taxi drivers don't speak English and addresses can be confusing.
- Visit temples early morning (7-9 AM) to avoid crowds and heat, plus experience morning prayers and rituals.
- Use official meter taxis or Grab instead of tuk-tuks for longer distances - they're often more expensive despite being 'traditional'.
- Exchange money at authorised dealers or withdraw from ATMs rather than airport exchange counters for better rates.
