Bangkok flights
Bangkok, Thailand's capital, is a large and rapidly developing city, surrounding the country's principle river. With many spas both hotel-based and independent, and just as many temples, of which Wat Arun, Wat Pho, and The Grand Palace are probably the best, Bangkok is a place for pampering as well as a veritable hive of activity and interest. Travel the Chao Phraya River by boat for the floating markets, shop for clothes at the enormous Bo-Be Market or the markets at Phnom Penh, or visit the Democracy Monument. Bangkok also hosts a glittering nightlife, with a variety of cultural shows and heaving nightclubs.
Although changes of flight can extend flight times to twenty hours of travelling, direct flights to Bangkok from the UK take between 11 and 13 hours, and shorter layovers give flights of around fourteen hours duration. Peak season for Bangkok flights is during the ideal weather of February and March, whereas flight prices may decrease a little during monsoon season in July to November. It can be tricky to obtain cheap flights to Bangkok, but the best method is to book well in advance, using price comparison to secure the best flight deal. Remember that flights may well be heavily booked and that reconfirmation is advised prior to departure.
