Bangkok in November

When to go

The World Meteorological Organization's climate normals for Bangkok list high daytime temperatures, warm nights and some rain days for November, so plan for heat with the occasional shower. The calendar centers on the Royal Barge Procession on the Chao Phraya River, which the Tourism Authority of Thailand's newsroom places on a Friday early in the month, and a release from the same newsroom names Bangkok as host of the Eurovision Song Contest Asia Grand Final in mid-November. Check the newsroom and the official organizers for current details, because dates and access can change.
