What To Pack For Thailand?
Beachwear – Thailand is known for its beautiful beaches and gorgeous islands, so pack swimwear if you plan to spend time at some of the country’s charming coastal towns and islands. While you can wear bikinis and tankinis at the beach, it’s preferable to cover up once you step into the main street or town. Pack flip-flops or slip-on sandals, a sunhat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
Natural fabrics – When off the beach, shorts, T-shirts, and long and short dresses work well in the main tourist destinations. Pack clothes made of natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, bamboo or water-wicking, quick-drying materials. These work well for Thailand’s humidity. When travelling through smaller towns and villages, dress modestly.
Temple visits – Male and female visitors to Thailand’s temples should wear clothing covering the knees and shoulders. Long dresses, long pants, and modest T-shirts that cover the shoulders and upper arms work well in such situations. Carry a shawl or buy a Thai sarong—it always helps in a pinch.
Hikes – If city tours and sightseeing are part of your itinerary, pack a pair of good walking shoes. Long-sleeved T-shirts, hiking pants, and hiking shoes are required for hikes. Don’t forget to throw in bug spray or mosquito repellent, though these are also readily available in Thailand.
