May in Bangkok: Budget Flights from Rome and Amsterdam to Thailand

Bangkok, Thailand's capital, is a city of contrasts – from glittering temples like Wat Arun and the Grand Palace to bustling night bazaars and street food havens. The city captivates travellers with rich history, golden stupas, traditional long-tail boats on canals (khlongs) and authentic cuisine – pad thai, mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream are just the start. May marks the monsoon season's onset, but that's precisely when flight and accommodation prices plummet well below peak season. Temperatures reach 32–35°C, humidity is high and rainfall frequent – prepare for heat and rain, but also fewer tourists and more authentic experiences. Nomads appreciate Bangkok for incredibly cheap internet (average 5–10 Mbps, 100–200 THB/month), coffee at $1–2 USD in nomad cafés, beer at $1–2 USD in local bars and street food at $1–3 USD per serving. The city is safe for tourists (Numbeo: 65/100), and coworking spaces are available and affordable (200–400 THB/day). Public transport (BTS, MRT) is fast and cheap.
