This acceptance can be traced back to ancient times, as seen in classical literature and historic records.

Gay Bangkok – When to visit?
With its tropical monsoon climate, Bangkok offers distinct experiences throughout the year.
Bangkok’s ever-changing seasons offer a myriad of experiences. While the cool season is undeniably popular, the hot and rainy seasons present their own unique charms, ensuring that no matter when you visit, Bangkok always has something new to offer.
Cool Season (November to February)
- Often regarded as the best time to visit Bangkok, the cool season brings with it a pleasant drop in temperatures. The city comes alive with a gentle breeze, clear skies, and comfortable temperatures averaging between 20°C to 30°C. It’s the prime time for sightseeing, outdoor activities, and soaking up the sun by the Chao Phraya River.
- The cool season is also the primary tourist season in Bangkok. Consequently, the annual Loy Krathong Festival, where thousands of floating lanterns are released into the waterways, usually takes place during this time, creating an ethereal spectacle.
Hot Season (March to June)
- True to its name, the hot season in Bangkok can be intensely warm. Daytime temperatures often soar above 35°C. Though the heat might be overwhelming, the city’s life continues unabated, with locals and tourists alike taking solace in air-conditioned malls, rooftop bars, and the city’s many parks.
- Songkran, the Thai New Year, is celebrated in April. It’s world-famous as a massive water festival where locals and tourists engage in playful water fights in the streets. The Songkran gay circuit festival by G-Circuit is a “must-do” if you plan on visiting in April.
Rainy Season (July to October)
- As monsoon winds sweep in, Bangkok experiences its rainy season. The city witnesses short, intense downpours, usually in the late afternoon or evening. While the rain brings relief from the heat, it also results in a more humid atmosphere. The city glistens under a refreshed mantle, and the gardens bloom in more vibrant shades of green.
- The rainy season is the best time to get deals on accommodation and flights due to fewer tourists. Moreover, the rain amplifies the city’s beauty, especially at places like Bang Krachao, Bangkok’s green lung, where the wetlands and forests become more lush and alive.
Bangkok has transformed remarkably over the decades. Today, it stands proud as an epitome of cultural richness and modern allure. Whether you’re here to witness its glorious past or dance the night away, Gay Bangkok promises a journey of a lifetime.
