🚇 Getting Around

The BTS Skytrain and MRT are the fastest ways to move around Bangkok (about €0.40–€1.50 per ride). Taxis are easy to find but make sure the meter is used; short trips usually cost €1.80–€5. Tuk-tuks work for very short distances but always agree on the price. Walking is possible in central areas, but heat and traffic can slow you down.

🏨 Where to Stay

Budget stays in Khao San Road, Chinatown, or Victory Monument start around €20–€63 per night. Mid-range hotels in Sukhumvit, Silom, or Sathorn average €63–€175. Luxury hotels along the river or central Sukhumvit usually begin around €175+.

🍽️ Where to Eat

Street food stalls offer quick meals for €1–€3. Casual restaurants range €4–€10 per dish, while nicer dinners or rooftop spots often cost €15+ per person. Bottled water is widely used; choose sealed bottles if unsure.

🎟️ Things to Do

The Grand Palace ticket for foreigners is about €13. Wat Pho is close by and easy to combine in one visit. Markets like Chatuchak and Yaowarat offer great local experiences. River cruises vary but many start around €27–€36.

☀️ Quick Tips

Buy a one-day BTS pass if you plan several rides. Keep valuables secure in crowded areas. Tap water is not recommended for drinking; use bottled or filtered water. Tipping is not required but small amounts are appreciated.
