Destination & City Travel Guide
About Bangkok
Bangkok arrivals through Don Mueang begin north of the main sightseeing districts. The Grand Palace, Wat Pho and riverfront temples sit well away from the airport, while Chatuchak is a more natural northern stop. Travellers from India should distinguish Don Mueang from Suvarnabhumi when booking transfers or onward flights. The city offers several different bases, from the older riverside neighbourhoods to rail-connected shopping areas, and the right choice depends on the first day's route.

Tips for travellers from India
The airport's A1 bus links Don Mueang with the Chatuchak area and Mo Chit bus terminal, making it useful for an itinerary that starts in northern Bangkok. A2 continues towards Victory Monument. These are different arrival choices from A4, which serves the Democracy Monument, Khaosan and Sanam Luang corridor in the older city. Pick the bus by the hotel area rather than simply taking the first city-bound service.
For a brief heritage visit, a base near the old city reduces the distance to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. A hotel around a rail interchange suits a programme spread across shopping districts, but requires a separate trip to the river. Chatuchak can be grouped with the northern approach instead of being inserted between two riverside temples.
Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi are separate airports across Bangkok's road network. The airport operator provides an inter-airport shuttle for passengers holding onward air tickets; its departure point is at the international terminal. That service is a transfer between airports, not a shortcut to a central hotel. Keep the road crossing distinct from time spent completing the next airline's departure formalities, particularly when two separate bookings are involved. An old-city stay and a Chatuchak stop suit different arrival routes from this northern airport.
Best time to visit Bangkok
November to February, around 24–33°C, for relatively drier sightseeing.

About Madras
Chennai, called Madras until 1996, is one of India's largest metropolitan areas, with car plants along the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam belt, a busy container port and a large share of the country's medical travel. Its December music and dance season is the biggest event in the Carnatic calendar. Visitors use the city as the gateway to the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram, the silk and temple town of Kanchipuram and the former French enclave of Puducherry along the East Coast Road.

Tips for travellers
For a short trip, Egmore, Nungambakkam and T. Nagar are central and well served by the metro, while Mylapore and Besant Nagar put you close to the older temples and the beach. Chennai Metro's Blue Line runs from the airport through the city to Chennai Central, and the Green Line links Chennai Central with St. Thomas Mount via Koyambedu. South India's first air-conditioned suburban train started on the Beach to Chengalpattu line in April 2025, and the older suburban trains and MTC buses are inexpensive but crowded at peak hours. App cabs and auto-rickshaws fill the gaps.
The weather is kindest from November to February. The north-east monsoon brings most of Chennai's rain in October and November, and cyclones in those months can disrupt flights and flood roads. The Margazhi music and dance season runs through December into January, with concerts at sabhas across Mylapore and T. Nagar, and Pongal in mid-January closes many offices for several days. At the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and other Hindu temples, remove footwear and dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered. Marina Beach is for walking rather than swimming, as the currents are strong. For Mahabalipuram, leave early to see the Shore Temple before the midday heat, and combine it with the Pancha Rathas and Arjuna's Penance nearby.
Best time to visit Madras
November to February, with days of about 24-30°C and lower humidity. October and November bring the north-east monsoon rains.
