Cheap Flight Bangkok

What do you see when you picture Bangkok? A frenetic mixture of luxury city living and rich Thai culture? A cultural hotspot full of history and ancient architecture alongside the cutting edge of modern art, music and design? A fantastic culinary destination full of exotic flavours, creamy Thai curries and spicy Tom Yam soup? All of the above? It doesn''t take long to see why Bangkok remains such a popular tourist destination.

Getting to Bangkok on the cheap might be easier than you first expect. Simply type ''cheap flight Bangkok'' or ''budget travel to Thailand'' into your search engine of choice and you will soon be presented with a variety of financially appealing travel solutions. Dial A Flight is a particularly good place for budget air travel booking.

Give the obvious tourist attractions a wide birth and you will soon see that Bangkok is home to an array of fascinating and culturally enlightening activities, all available at budget-traveller-friendly prices.

For example, if you want to learn more about Thai culture and get away from the elephant rides and the ''traditional village'' (or ''human zoo'') visits, simply walking around the backstreets and chatting to locals in caf?s is a great way to get closer to typical Bangkok life. Many people in this city, particularly of the younger generation, speak fantastic English and will be more than happy to practise it with you.

Investing in a budget travel guidebook such as Lonely Planet''s South East Asia on a Shoestring or Rough Guide''s South East Asia on a Budget will provide you with a range of affordable sleeping and eating options. The best rule of thumb, in any country, when trying to find the best value grub is to follow the locals. Don''t be fussy. Try everything once. And don''t be afraid to sample some of the local street food - more often than not, this turns out to be the most delicious fare you''ll sample over the course of your trip.

China Town and the Floating Market, whilst major tourist destinations, are also wonderful place to sample a range of local foods and pick up souvenirs at budget prices. Be aware when making purchases that prices are often tripled or quadrupled for westerners so don''t be afraid to haggle. There''s no need to push for the lowest price going. Simply decide what you feel is a reasonable price to pay for the item you want and stick to it.

One unforgettable Thai experience is to have a go at Buddhist meditation. There are several meditation centres in the capital, some with English speaking guides, and foreigners are welcomed to join in with meditation sessions. This is a wonderful way to unwind after a few weeks on the road and, of course, it won''t cost you a thing.

Of all the cities in South East Asia, Bangkok is one of the most accessible from the west. This makes it a wonderful starting point for a whole South East Asian adventure but if you want to keep costs low, don''t take a connecting flight from the city. Go overland into Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia or China instead.
