Etiquette Tips

Wear The Right Clothing

There’s no doubt, when people start looking for cheap flights to Bangkok from Darwin, they’re looking for a tropical retreat. The lush vegetation, bustling streets and warm climate are perfect for light clothing like shorts, vests and sandals. Most people arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), completely overdressed having come from a cooler location.

That said, make sure you pack a few more items of clothing for your trip. There are some spiritual areas that require both men and women cover up exposed areas like shoulders, chests and legs above the knee.

Don’t Make Fun of the Monarchy

Thai people are proud of their monarchy and have a deep love for their King. There’s even a picture of him on display in most public buildings, including Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). While kings and queens don’t play quite as similar a role in western culture, the Thai people look to their king for guidance and wisdom. It’s important to remember this when visiting the welcoming country. Make sure you don’t say anything rude or disrespectful about the Thai monarchy while you’re there.

Don’t Put Your Feet Up

While you’re scrolling the internet, looking for your cheap flights to Bangkok from Darwin, make sure you do some reading up on body language and etiquette in Thailand. A simple act, like putting your feet up (exposing the underside of your foot) can very easily offend a local.

Cafes and Restaurants

There’s no doubt about it; traditional Thai food is some of the most delicious food in the world. Most people looking for Darwin to Bangkok return flights can’t wait to hit the beach - but a lot of people fall in love with Thailand once they’ve tasted the food.

Every day their famous dish, Tom Yum Goong draws a crowd from the busy streets around them.

Packing Tips

Sandals

When you’re packing for your flights Darwin to Bangkok, there’s one thing you absolutely must not forget: a good, strong pair of sandals. The humid air and high temperatures should be enough of a reason to keep your feet open and cool, but there’s another reason that a lot of people don’t consider; when visiting Buddhist temples in Thailand, it’s common etiquette to leave your shoes at the door. Sandals slip off easily and lessen the effort needed to explore these ancient wonders.

Insect Repellant

When you’re standing in the arrivals hall of Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), you’ll notice that the warm, tropical climate is not only perfect for holiday makers, but for insects too. You’ll soon realise that insect repellent is a must-have when visiting Thailand.

Water Bottle

The last thing you probably think of when getting your bags packed for your Darwin to Bangkok flights is drinking water. However, Thai tap water isn’t potable water. Whenever you’re thirsty, you’ll need to buy bottled water from a store or cafe. We recommend having your own, sturdy bottle to keep with you - and prevent adding to landfill.

A Strong Backpack

When you’re looking for your cheap flights to Bangkok from Darwin, it’s important to remember what you’re in for once you’ve landed in Bangkok. Thailand is a traveller’s destination. It’s a country filled with friendly faces and amazing experiences. But it’s also a country made for travelling. That means a lot of walking, riding on scooters and tuk-tuks, hiking, swimming and climbing. A tough, high-quality backpack will always come in handy while travelling Thailand.

When is The Best Time to Visit Bangkok?

The best time to visit Bangkok is during November and February during Thailand's cool season. With temperatures slightly under 30°C it's a more pleasant time of year, but unfortunately, it is also peak season. It's nearly impossible to explore the city without crowds of tourists, and as a result, prices for accommodation, airfare and tours soar. If you want to save money and don't mind a little rain, visiting Bangkok during June to October is also an option. It is low season, so you'll find cheaper hotels, tours and airfare deals. There will also be far fewer crowds at the city's major attractions, but the city does experience flooding which may get in the way of your travel plans. While April is one of the hottest times of year to visit Bangkok, it's also Thai New Year which is celebrated with a giant three-day water fight. It's the perfect excuse to cool down from the heat, welcome in the rainy season and enjoy a unique cultural experience.
