Bangkok is sunny at any time of the year with temperatures over 30\u00b0C (86\u00b0F).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In Bangkok, when taking a taxi, be sure to insist on the meter. If the driver refuses, or quotes silly prices, just walk out and get a different one. If multiple taxis refuse to take you, or you just want to ride it once, you can take a Tuk-Tuk, but always agree on a price in advance.<\/li>\n<li>In the go-go bar zones, beware of touts who try to drag you into the upstairs bars with offers of ping-pong shows and 100-baht beer. The beer may well be 100 baht, but the &#8220;show&#8221; you&#8217;ll be treated to will be 1,000 baht or more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7619&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17025,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sightseeinggroup.com\/web2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location\/145"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sightseeinggroup.com\/web2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sightseeinggroup.com\/web2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/location"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sightseeinggroup.com\/web2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sightseeinggroup.com\/web2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sightseeinggroup.com\/web2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
