What to bring?


The climate in Thailand is best described as tropical with a range of seasons from very hot to mild (but still warm). The usual resort wear and light cotton clothing is best. Shorts, short dresses and T-shirts are the norm in most spots.
If you are staying in a fancy hotel, check if there is any sort of dress code, especially for dining.
Otherwise, relax. In December or January it can be cool in the evenings, so pack a thin jacket or
pullover. The rest of the year is hot both day and night.
Use both a high DEET content sunscreen and long-sleeve pants, shirts and socks if you are in a malarial area. Most divedestinations aren’t a problem in Thailand, but areas in the north of the country, like Chiang Mai, can have malarial mosquitoes.Some people travel light or arrive with near-empty suitcases in order to take advantage of Thailand’s great tailors and shopping.
