Brief
- Try Bangkok staples such as pad thai, tom yum, khao man gai, som tam, mango sticky rice and Thai iced tea. Choose busy food stalls with high turnover, and avoid raw food left unrefrigerated.
- Bangkok is hot and humid, with heavy seasonal rain possible. Allow extra time for travel during downpours, as localized street flooding can slow road traffic and taxis.
- Bangkok’s extensive BTS Skytrain and MRT networks are generally the most reliable way to cross congested areas. Use metered taxis or reputable ride-hailing services, and take care around motorcycles and tuk-tuks.
Safety and health
- Mosquito-borne illnesses including dengue and Zika occur in Thailand, including urban areas. Use repellent, wear long sleeves and trousers when practical, and take extra care around mosquitoes at dawn and dusk. (

- After heavy rain, avoid floodwater, mud and contaminated soil, and cover cuts or burns. This reduces the risk of melioidosis, which can be acquired through contact with contaminated water or soil. (
- Bottled or properly treated water is the cautious choice. Bangkok tap water may be safe in some newer buildings, but conditions vary; avoid questionable water and raw foods. (
- Yellow-fever vaccination is not generally recommended for Thailand, but a certificate is required for travellers aged 9 months or older arriving from a country with yellow-fever transmission risk, including qualifying long airport transits. (
- Two fatal shootings occurred in or near Nonthaburi, northwest of Bangkok, in August. Although these were isolated incidents and not directed at tourists, maintain normal urban awareness and follow local police instructions around schools, government buildings and other secured sites. (
