Bangkok sun doesn\u2019t play around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few things I wish I\u2019d known on my first trip? Always bargain at markets\u2014but do it with a smile. If you\u2019re taking a tuk-tuk, agree on the fare <em>before<\/em> you hop in. And if someone randomly offers you a \u201csecret\u201d temple tour or a deal on gems\u2026 just smile and walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting around is super easy once you get the hang of it. The BTS Skytrain is clean, fast, and blissfully air-conditioned. Ferries along the Chao Phraya are perfect for exploring old Bangkok. And when in doubt, just book a Grab\u2014it\u2019s way more reliable than haggling with a taxi.
