Bangkok is a tropical city so it's pretty warm throughout the year! Avoid between April and May when the weather is especially hot and sticky (temperatures around 34C), although one of Thailand's most celebrated festivals, Songkran, takes place in April and involves lots of refreshing water throwing to help you cool down. The best time to visit is from October until February, with temperatures around 25- 28C, light breezes and only the occasional shower.
From June through to September there's still plenty of sunshine and it's much cooler (around 24-28 C). Remember though, this is the season for rain and there can lots of it. However, this is actually quite refreshing! Others advantages are less visitors and better hotel rates.
What to Wear
Forget the tight pants and clinging dresses (at least for the day) and go for light, loose cotton clothing. When visiting temples, certain museums and the Grand Palace remember to dress appropriately. Shorts, singlets, spaghetti straps and open backed sandals are not acceptable.
