History
Bangkok became the capital under King Rama I in 1782; the Grand Palace and many central temples date from that era and reflect Thai royal and religious traditions.
Conservation
Support small vendors and avoid single-use plastics where possible; popular riverside and market areas are sensitive to litter, so carry out waste and use refillable water.

Respect temple dress codes
Bring a lightweight scarf or long shirt—the Grand Palace and most temples require covered shoulders and knees; you may be denied entry otherwise.
Start early to avoid traffic
Depart between 7:00–9:00 AM where possible—Bangkok traffic intensifies mid-morning and again late afternoon, cutting into sightseeing time.
Carry small bills and change
Many stalls, small museums and boat fares require cash; have 20–500 THB notes handy for admissions and food.
Stay hydrated and time breaks
Bangkok’s heat is persistent; keep bottled water and schedule short, shaded breaks between outdoor sites.
