In the center it's more of a discomfort by car \taxi, because of the traffic) on foot - hot, yes, but in general it's comfortable to walk.

I can compare to the south - just got back from BKK yesterday. It's much cooler in Bangkok than in the south mainly due to the dense development - shade everywhere. So for southerners it's ok. Bikes are great (if you don't get in heavy traffic - it's too hot from the buses and the big machinery). But this is the skyscraper district, Sukhumvit. It's probably worse in the more open areas. It's better to avoid walking from 9 to 17.

The heat breaks off the whole thrill of hiking for me. Even if it's 5 minutes to the subway. I don't leave the condo without a bike. But riding a bike in the night / evening / morning Bangkok is a separate kind of pleasure. Such beauty, I want to cry already.

It's quite comfortable. It's certainly not the comfort level of a pedestrian environment like in Western or Northern Europe, but it's fine to move around. It's only hot during the day. If you make periodic pit stops" at 7-11 to cool down
