Most travel enthusiasts do not consider August a popular month to arrange their travels. Yet, the vibrant city of Bangkok is teeming with myriad unique events and celebrations, not to mention tourist hotspots that should not be put off for another month. Read on to discover how you can make the most of your vacation to this thriving city.
Cost-Effective Travels
August is not a popular month for travel, and Bangkok does not witness as many tourists as other months of the year. Thus, you can quickly secure some of the finest Bangkok hotel deals at incredible rates. Plus, almost all the coveted attractions in the city will remain uncrowded, allowing you to enjoy a tranquil, serene vacation.
Visit Some of the Most Sought Art Exhibitions
With many new art galleries opening in the city, Bangkok is increasingly becoming a popular choice for artisans to showcase their creativity. Like the other months of the year, August is set to witness a host of art exhibitions in different parts of the city. Artificial nature, Emerge, Leave it and Break No Hearts, and Just Human are some popular titles, to name a few.
Things to See and Do in August
While August may not be the most appropriate time of the year to feed your adventurous spirit, the buzzing capital of Thailand has ample fun frolics in store for you; Take a serene stroll along Chao Phraya River, shop to your heart’s content at Chatuchak Market, pamper yourself with a traditional Thai massage and munch on your favourite Thai delicacies at China Town. Better still, if you stay in a plush abode like Pathumwan Princess Hotel, you will be within easy reach of all your bucket list places to visit.
Queen’s Birthday Celebrations
This bustling metropolis comes to life in August to celebrate Queen Sirkit’s birthday. In fact, the city’s streets and houses are decorated with lights and flowers to show allegiance to the Queen. Celebrations also remain at their peak along Ratchadamnoen road and the Grand Palace area, so do not forget to head over to these lively streets. Interestingly, these special festivities also coincide with Mother’s Day celebrations, so why not consider this an opportunity to treat your mother to some delicious Thai dishes?
