Leaving Manchester

Long-stay parking is available for travellers who choose to drive their own vehicles to Manchester Airport, and you can pre-book you parking spot to save money.

Long-haul flights generally check in about three hours before departure, which can leave quite a bit of time to spend before boarding begins.

About Bangkok

The capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is named The City of Angels in Thai. With 12 million people, it is a very busy city that is full of life both in the streets and in the more than 1,000 skyscrapers that make up Bangkok's cityscape.

Your Trip to Bangkok

When you arrive in Bangkok, you will land at Suvarnabhumi International Airport, the Airport of Smiles. The airport is located 21 miles west of the city centre, and you can get to the city by rail link for ฿15 aboard the City Line. If you prefer a more personalized service, taxis are located on the first floor outside the airport terminal. It takes about 43 minutes to drive to the city centre.

Bangkok weather is hot and muggy, with average highs staying above 32°C throughout most of the year. November and December see slightly cooler temperatures, and lows in the evening get down to around 21°C, making the late fall and early winter an ideal time to take a holiday to the area. May through October are the rainy season, with more than half of the days receiving rain, so pack weatherproof clothing if you plan to visit during these months.

Day trips are available in Bangkok to visit the many Buddhist temples or the floating markets along the River Kwai. The Bangkok Grand Palace where kings of Siam once lived is a must-see during any trip to the city. At the entrance to the palace complex is the Emerald Buddha, one of the most honoured religious objects of Thailand. Other things to do include taking a trip to the Museum of Siam of the Bangkok Doll Factory.
