The best time to visit Bangkok for honeymoon is from November to April during the dry season. 

The weather is more comfortable, with average temperatures hovering around 27°C (81°F).

The monsoon season happens during the summer months. This time of year brings rain.

Things get more hot and humid from May onwards with temperatures in the early 30’s °C (80’s°F). Rainfall is usually in the form of short, intense downpours although there can be longer spells of rain, too.

September and October are the worst months to visit as it’s the peak of the rainy season. The rainfall doubles from the previous months and you will experience heavy downpours.

The river side area has peaceful views of the Chao Phraya River and many of the best ultra luxury honeymoon hotels in Bangkok are located along its banks. Around this area is a more serene Bangkok honeymoon experience.

On the left bank of the river the Old City area, Rattanakosin, is a great base too, placing you within a short distance of historic sites like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. Plus, Chinatown and Banglamphu, home to the legendary backpacker haven and nightlife hub, Khaosan Road are not too far away.

For shopping and nightlife, opt for a stay along Siam area or Sukhumvit Road. These areas have great shopping malls, dining and bars. Sukhumvit Road actually stretches from the city to the Cambodian border!

Ultimately if you’re short on time consider a stay near one of the BTS Skytrain stations for easy access to zip around many of the major sites.

• Weather Vulnerability: While you would be unlucky to encounter extreme weather, Bangkok has an intense monsoon season which can occasionally lead to regular heavy rains and thunder storms.
  
• Pollution: Bangkok is an assault on the senses. It is notorious for its heavy traffic, especially during peak hours. This contributes to poor air quality and combined with the heat and noise can make Bangkok feel sometimes overwhelming for first time visitors. Book the best hotel you can and arrange air conditioned transfers, taxis, skytrain for a comfortable experience.
