Explore Fabulous Attractions with Cheap Holidays to Bangkok

When you're in Bangkok, there's one aspect of the Thai capital you'll be greatly impressed with. It is the way it has managed to keep its rich culture and traditions alive even in this age of globalisation. The city was just a small trading post in the 15th century when it was under the reign of Ayutthaya Kingdom. However, it has become a leading hub of business and finance in the country following the investment boom of the late 20th century. Despite such rapid developments, it has still maintained a good balance between tradition and modernity. This is the reason why you’ll find sparkling Buddhist temples even in the midst of towering high-rises.

Your holidays to Bangkok would be extremely pleasant if you visit during the period between December and February. This time of the year is characterised by a good weather with comfortable temperatures during the daytime. It gives you the chance to enjoy sightseeing and other exciting activities outdoors. During the period from March to May, the city goes through its hottest days. You can also expect sudden rains in these months. The low tourist season begins in May and lasts until October, giving you ample opportunities to grab the best deals on hotel stays. Despite the frequent rains in this season, you can have loads of fun in the city's shopping malls and several other places.

This palace complex is now used for certain important events. Located to the south of this palace complex is Wat Pho, a Buddhist temple popularly known as the 'Temple of the Reclining Buddha'. Constructed during the reign of King Rama I, this temple houses a large statue of Buddha in a reclining position.

While enjoying your cheap holidays to Bangkok, you'll also get the chance to try some thrilling outdoor activities.
