Do remember about the weather: it has periods of extreme heat and a rainy season. If you have enough control over your living and working situation, November to March offers the most "moderate" weather. That doesn't mean it won't get hot or that you'll have no rain, it's just moderate... for Thailand. An expat wrote: "There are 3 seasons - Very hot, rainy and humid, and nicely warm."

As far as transportation in Bangkok, The expat also shared: "I use the BTS every day, it runs about every 6 minutes I think 5 am to midnight. There is also the MRT underground and a very large bus system. All are safe and inexpensive."

Another expat commented: "Transportation systems also include taxis, 3 wheeler "Tuk-Tuks", "Baht" buses and motorcycle taxis, although the latter should be used cautiously, since most road accidents in Thailand involve motorcycles. However motorcycle taxis are arguably safer than non-commercial motorcycles since the owners use them to make a living."

When one expat said, "I have never not felt safe in Bangkok and just use common sense. I have taken public transport late at night and never worried about safety," which prompted another to advise: "Bangkok is generally quite safe, but be wary of unlighted or poorly lit lanes at night."
