The exhausting heat, extreme humidity and—during the wet season—torrential rains can be so unforgiving in Bangkok that they render many urbanites immobile and restrict them to the confines of shopping malls or their own residences. But during the cool season, when the sky is clear and the breeze is pleasant, spending time outside is not too much of a bad idea—no more sweaty armpits while dining alfresco!

This is perhaps the best time of the year to appreciate what the great city of Bangkok has to offer aside from plush cinemas and indoor retail spaces. From wandering Bangkok’s expansive green spaces to savoring a posh dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River, here are some ways to enjoy a memorable day without air-conditioning in Bangkok.
