Don't Let the Rain Ruin Your Journey
Traveling to Thailand between June and October? The rainy season (or green season) offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds, but you need to pack smart!
- Quick-Dry Clothing: Leave the heavy jeans at home. Opt for lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics.
- Waterproof Bag: A small dry bag is essential for protecting your electronics and passport during sudden downpours or boat trips.
- Slip-on Sandals: Streets can get flooded quickly. Waterproof sandals are much better than soggy sneakers.
- Mosquito Repellent: Rain brings out the bugs. Bring a DEET-based repellent or buy a local brand like Soffell when you arrive.
Embrace the rain! Often, showers only last for an hour or two in the late afternoon, leaving the rest of the day perfect for exploration.
