climate

According to the World Meteorological Organization, Bangkok is the hottest city in the world. It should be only 14 degrees north of the equator, and the temperature in Bangkok exceeds 30°C (86°F). If you are going to Bangkok, November to February is the best time, because that is the coldest and driest period. The statues of the Jade Buddha wear scarves at the Jade Buddha Temple! But don't think that is enough. The temperature during the day can be 30°C (86°F), but the weather can reach 20°C (approximately 70°F) at night. March to April is the hottest period. The average temperature can reach 35°C (95°F), but don’t be surprised if the temperature is as low as 40°C (approximately 100°F). This is the worst time if you are going to Bangkok. So it's best to plan to go to many air-conditioned shopping malls, and book a hotel with a swimming pool. May to October is the rainy season. Heavy rains can cause flooding throughout the city. Thunder can also happen at this time. This is not a bad thing. The afternoon showers can actually cool the city. Rain is usually within an hour, although it can last all day. Extreme rainfall occurs in September and October, so it is best to avoid these months.

No matter when you go, don't treat the weather as a trivial matter. The weather in the afternoon was very hot. It is best to wear short-sleeved clothes, but remember that some palaces and temples have strict clothing requirements. Also, remember to drink a lot of water! There are many 7-Eleven stores in Bangkok that sell a lot of cold water, at least 10 baht.

Partition

Bangkok is a huge modern city, full of nightlife and passion. Bangkok is divided into 50 administrative districts (เขต) and further divided into 180 blocks (แขวง), but they are mostly used for public affairs and address information. For travelers, the following partitioning methods may be more practical for travel——
