Flying from Madrid to Bangkok: FAQs
What currency is used in Bangkok?
The Thai baht (THB) is the national currency used across Thailand. You can check market values in advance, before departure, to try and get the best deals on currency exchange. Many tourist hotspots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand will also accept US dollars as payment.
What should I pack for a trip to Bangkok?
Thailand has a tropical climate, which means high temperatures and humidity throughout the year. Make sure you pack lightweight clothes, but also bring some that will cover arms and legs if planning on visiting temples, where modest dress is respectful. If you’re visiting in monsoon season, from June to October, you’ll need waterproof clothing too.
Top tips for Madrid to Bangkok
Street food at Khao San Road
One thing you’ll find an abundance of in Spain and Thailand is street food. And nothing brings people together like eating at the market.
Head to Bangkok’s lively Khaosan Road to try Thai food at its very best. Perching on small plastic stools at the edge of the road, you’ll be able to tuck into tasty pad thai and sweet mango sticky rice – served up by the talented street vendors along the strip.
Visit the Grand Palace
The Thai royal residence is a fascinating contrast to Madrid’s Royal Palace, with equally stunning but very different architecture.
This complex of buildings includes the royal palace, a museum and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the most important religious site in the country.
