First time in Bangkok: Everything you need to know

If you’re planning your first time in Bangkok, you’ll be met with an exciting collision of contrasts, where ancient temples and Buddha statues rise beside futuristic skyscrapers and massive shopping centers. For first-time visitors, it’s a whirlwind of experiences, from staples like the Grand Palace to Bangkok’s hidden gems like the Jim Thompson House.

Whether you’re cruising down the Chao Phraya River or tasting your way through Chinatown’s street food stalls, there are countless things to do in Bangkok for first-timers. This guide covers all the essentials, including local tips and things to know about Bangkok, what to avoid, and landmarks you shouldn’t skip.

Bangkok: Tips for first-timers

  1. Carry small bills for street vendors and public transportation since they often can’t give change for large ones.
  2. Use the Grab app for reliable and safer rides instead of hailing random taxis.
  3. Dress modestly when visiting temples; shoulders and knees should be covered, and many places will expect you to take off your shoes before entering. If you’re unsure, look for signs, ask before entering, or see what others around you are doing.
  4. Visit temples early to avoid the midday heat and crowds.
  5. Be prepared for heavy traffic. Compared to car travel and taxis, the BTS Skytrain or MRT (metro) are faster and more comfortable ways to get around.
