So, ladies, this means no leggings, please! These sightings were mostly on the grounds though. If you actually go inside the temples to where the Buddha statue is then, there is usually a guard to make sure you are dressed appropriately. Here, the dress code is strictly enforced and there are guards at the entrance to check what you are wearing.
If you are not appropriately dressed for the Grand Palace, you will be turned away. In general I never pack booty shorts, strappy tank tops, leggings, or heels to Thailand. Unless you plan on going clubbing in Bangkok I would definitely leave the heels at home. Sometimes sidewalks are non-existent in Thailand and you are walking on pothole streets, so heels I do not recommend wearing heels in Thailand. Strappy tanks and booty shorts may be okay to wear at some of the beaches in Thailand but I definitely would not wear them in cities like Chiang Mai or Bangkok.
You should pack enough tops and under garments for at least 2 changes per day. Because Thailand is so hot and humid what you wore out temple-hopping will most likely be completely sweaty by the time you get back to your hotel. You can definitely get your laundry done in Thailand pretty cheaply, but the laundromat will take on average 24 hours to get your clothes back to you. If you want to pack light, I would at least bring extra shirts and undergarments, because bottoms usually can last more than one wear before needing a wash.
You can wear normal beachwear to the beaches and islands in Thailand. Tourists wear bikinis, swim trunks, shorts, tank tops, and even speedos on the beaches in Thailand. For footwear, you will want to pack flip flops for the sand and water shoes as much of the coastline has rocks and coral.
European tourists tend to wear cheeky cut bikinis and speedos while Asian and Chinese tourists tend to be completely covered and have an umbrella. So the variety of attire on beaches in Thailand runs the gamut. When packing for beaches in Thailand you can pretty much pack the same as any other beach destination. I would however bring one additional item, talcum powder or baby powder.
I personally am prone to heat rash so I always bring prickly heat powder, you can buy this at almost any in Thailand. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

If you're here on business then a smart suit is the order of the day. Thai women normally wear a skirt-suit rather than pants. Clothing tips for men If you're looking for versatile and stylish beachwear , try the Madda Fella range of shirts, shorts, polos and swimwear. Pack for the weather November, December, January and February is the cooler season when temperatures and rainfall are lowest, though for most tourists the temperatures will still seem hot.
March, April, May and June are very hot. As you can imagine, the humidity is very high here too so be prepared. Lightweight natural fabrics work best, and pack long pants and long-sleeved shirts to help keep the mosquitoes from feasting on you. June, July, August, September and October are the monsoon season so not peak times for tourists, but if you do go then be prepared! Pack a lightweight raincoat and travel umbrella. Flip flops are good for slipping on and off but beach shoes can be kept on and tend to protect your feet better.
Keep in mind that if it rains it may be slippery check the weather for that time of year , and the water can come up past your ankles in some places. When it rains, it can rain hard. You don't want to be wearing socks and non-waterproof shoes! Avoid bringing shoes that insulate your feet, like heavily lined boots.
Such shoes require socks, which you generally won't be wearing. Socks get very smelly in Thailand! Note that you will be removing your shoes frequently, as it is customary to take off your shoes when entering Thai homes, some shops, your hotel room, and temples. So you'll want to pack easy slip-on-slip-off shoes. While taking off your shoes is customary when entering someone's home and some shops, do not walk around without shoes on in the street.
The islands make you feel free and want to let go of your cultural norms, but Thai culture has specific rules pertaining to feet. Walking around the city and then entering a temple, home or shop is considered dirty and potentially offensive. Certainly don't sit down and put your feet up so that they are pointing at people waking past or sitting opposite. Soles of the feet should remain on the floor.
You may see a woman wearing a really short skirt and high heels, or a man with his t-shirt rolled up to his chest to give his stomach some air, but that doesn't mean it's acceptable for you to do the same.
Ladies, wear a bra, or a sports bra if that's more comfortable in the heat. No nipple exposure please! Men, no Euro-style shorts with your package on show. And put a top on. We don't care if you have a six-pack or not, even though I'm jealous!
You'll notice when you go to the beach that most Thais are fully clothed on both sand and in the sea. This is quite typical; largely because they are covering up from the sun and don't want to get any browner.
You will notice that Thais tend to go to the beach after 4pm when the sun is much weaker. They think we are crazy for doing otherwise! Two-piece swimsuits are fine on the beach, but have a sarong to hand to cover up when you walk away from the beach.
Swimming trunks or shorts are acceptable for men, and it is generally acceptable for female travelers to wear a two-piece bathing suit. What you really need to be aware of at the seaside is the etiquette when walking away from the beach. Always have a cover-up handy, and never walk through a neighboring beach town without proper shoes and a sarong or t-shirt on.
The same rules apply for riding motorbikes. Visitors should never hop atop a scooter in their bathing suits or without shoes. That said, many guys wear swimming shorts instead of trunks, which are of course fine for riding a scooter.
The general rule is that the shoulders and knees should be covered; a practice that applies to both men and women. Women should opt for knee-length shorts, a skirt to the knee or beyond, or a dress. Leggings are often frowned upon, so try to wear flowing pants or a long skirt if you can. Women can carry a sarong or scarf to tie around their waist or throw over their shoulders if need be. Men should completely button their long sleeve shirts and wear trousers. These tops are great for temple visits.
Pick one up for around Baht in Thailand. Some temples are stricter than others, and you may not be allowed to enter if you don't have the proper garb. The Grand Palace in Bangkok is a prime example of strict dress code. Be sure that your boots are lightweight and easy-dry. Pack long socks that will cover your ankles and shin skin. Keep in mind that sandals and other open style footwear are a bad idea for even light trekking, since they allow easy access for hungry mosquitoes and leeches, not to mention that any exposed skin may be hurt on hazardous terrain.
Always carry mosquito and bug repellent on a jungle adventure. Thais tend to take at least two showers a day, so make sure you aren't the one smelly foreigner :. For those who don't like the clog style Crocs, men can choose from a loafer style and women can even pick up Croc ballet flats. You don't have to pay the expensive price for the original Croc brand either.
There are a number of Croc-like shoes available in markets all across Thailand that will do the job. The reason I suggest Crocs is because you won't want to wear socks in Thailand, but when you wear trainers or shoes with a thick lining, without socks the shoes will start to smell because of the bacteria that builds up in the heat. The key is comfortable and breathable, and to avoid any shoe that will make your foot sweat and smell.
This is my go-to search engine. For hostels check out Hostelworld. I never travel without it. You should too. For Women : Make sure not to bring any tight-fitting items in Thailand.
Else your dress will stick to you in the heat. Women can keep skirts, maxi, loose tops with sleeves and light pants or leggings in the Thailand packing list. However wearing short dresses is not restricted in Thailand, but it would be disrespectful if you wear clothes that show your cleavage or knee. Top with skirt or leggings would be perfect in a Thai restaurant. You should give priority to comfort first, style and fashion second while selecting your shoes for Thailand trip.
You have to walk a lot in Thailand while going for beach hopping or exploring the city. So choose wisely. You have to take off your shoes while entering any Thai temples. In such cases, flip flop or slip-on can be very handy and comfortable. Lastly, never go anywhere barefooted. What to pack for the Thailand trip?
