Bangkok
Not a resort but a city: people move here to work, to get treatment and to school their children.
city
own airport
What is good
- Two international airports and connections across Asia
- The best medical care in the country
- Metro and skytrain — living without a car is realistic
- Year-round rental with no season
What to be ready for
There is no sea. Air quality dips in the dry season, the traffic is heavy, and city heat is harder to bear than coastal heat.
Who it suits
Those who work, study or need treatment, and anyone who travels the region and keeps a base here.
Season
Coolest from November to February. March to May is very hot.
Getting there
Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang; any island is an hour away by air.
No property here yet. That does not change what the place is like.
