      Flights from Manchester to Bangkok: where old meets new

      Bangkok is a bustling city filled with modern skyscrapers and brimming with shopping and entertainment venues. However, there is another side to the city which takes a little exploring to find; where ancient temples, traditional Thai architecture and a slower pace of life show a glimpse of the old Bangkok.

      When to go Bangkok and how to prepare for your trip

      Bangkok is hot more or less all year round and the monsoon season is from June to November, when there is a little relief from the heat, but there is heavy rainfall. Bangkok knows how to celebrate, there are festivals throughout the year including Wan Trut Chin, the 1st day of Chinese New Year (in February, dates vary). The traditional Thai New Year celebration is called Songkran and runs between April 13th and 15th, it is basically a giant water fight all day long. In November, the Loi Krathong Festival of Light brings a little calm to the festivities, with lanterns being released into the sky and decorations being floated on water, dates vary according to the full moon.

      What you need to know before you travel

      British Passport holders don't need a visa for stays of up to 30 days, passports must be valid for at least 6 months from date of entry (but please always check entry requirements with the Thai Embassy in due time before travelling).
