PRATİK BİLGİLER

Gitmeden bilmen gerekenler.

Turist tuzağı, SIM kart, nakit/kart, taksi ve güvenlik — beş soruda şehrin gerçeği.

Biggest tourist mistake

Believing the helpful stranger who says the palace is closed — it never is; the route ends at a jeweller.

SIM card & internet

AIS/True airport SIMs take minutes; 15-day tourist packs are very cheap.

Cash or card?

Cash still leads; markets and boat tickets want baht. ATM fees are steep, withdraw larger sums.

Taxi & transport apps

Grab, or a taxi that says yes to 'meter please'; a tuk-tuk once for the story, never for transport.

Safety

Tourist crime ranks scams > theft > violence. Watch your drink and stay clear of hired-brawl bars.

CITY PULSE

TRAVEL GUIDE

İçeriden bilgiler.

Arama motorunun ilk sayfasında bulamayacakların.

Must Do

  • Use the BTS/MRT — the traffic is legendarily bad.
  • Day-trip to Ayutthaya by train and bicycle.
  • Assemble one dinner entirely from night-market stalls.

Avoid These

  • Anyone saying 'the Grand Palace is closed today' — it never is; the route ends at a gem shop.
  • '20-baht city tour' tuk-tuks — commission runs.
  • Iced drinks at cheap stalls if your stomach is sensitive.

Tips

  • Grab is safer than taxis; meter tricks are common.
  • May-October brings daily 30-minute downpours; carry an umbrella.
  • Shoes come off at every temple; wear slip-ons.

Hidden Gems

  • Bang Krachao: the 'green lung' 15 minutes by ferry.
  • Talad Rot Fai Ratchada night market — famously light on tourists.
  • Songwat Road: Chinatown's new coffee-gallery strip.
