Events Tips for Bangkok

Festivals, markets, seasonal happenings, and local events

Chinese New Year and Golden Week turn this normally busy shrine into complete chaos. Thousands of tour buses and the smell of incense becomes overwhelming. Seen grown adults having meltdowns trying to get a photo.

If you must go during these times, arrive before 7 AM or you'll be trapped in crowds for hours. Otherwise it's perfectly fine any other time of year.
