What Should I Bring To Thailand?
Pack lightweight, breathable clothing suitable for tropical heat, along with modest attire for temple visits. Comfortable walking shoes and rain gear are essential regardless of season.
Lightweight cotton and linen fabrics breathe well in humid conditions. Pack a mix of casual and smart-casual clothing; while Thailand is generally informal, upscale restaurants and bars in Bangkok may enforce dress codes.
For temple visits, cover your shoulders and knees. Carry a lightweight scarf or sarong that can double as a cover-up. Remove shoes before entering temple buildings; slip-on footwear is convenient.
Sun protection is essential: pack high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and quality sunglasses. Mosquito repellent with DEET is important, particularly for evenings and jungle or island destinations.
A small daypack is useful for excursions. Include a reusable water bottle, as staying hydrated is crucial in the heat. A lightweight rain jacket or compact umbrella handles sudden tropical showers.
