New things to do in Bangkok 2024

Think of popular tourist destinations among Singaporeans, and Thailand would most definitely be top of mind for most. Not surprising at all, considering there are so many things to do in Bangkok including shopping at BKK night markets, indulging in Thai steamboats, and visiting its beautiful temples.

If you’re planning on heading down to Bangkok once again but are looking for new haunts, we’ve got you covered with a list of new things to do in Bangkok in 2024.

What should I take note of when visiting Bangkok?

A direct flight from Singapore to Bangkok is only 2 hours and 30 minutes long, and there are numerous flights a day. You can take budget airlines such as Jetstar, AirAsia, and Scoot as well as full-fledged carriers including Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Cathay Pacific.

Thailand isn’t one of the countries that requires a visa for Singapore passport holders. However, there are plans to impose a tourist tax of ฿300 (~S$$11.12) this year although a specific date hasn’t been announced yet.

At the time of writing, the exchange rate of Singapore Dollar to Thai Baht is S$1 to ฿26.98. It is the most common form of payment for visitors and it’s pretty easy to find ATMs around the city. Having said that, it is not recommended that visitors carry too much cash around; you can pay via credit card at most restaurants and malls.
