You&#8217;ll encounter an unforgettable duet of culture and coastal relaxation, switching up your board shorts for something a little more conservative as you respect the local Thais\u2019 religious beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfect days are made of kayaking between the towering limestone karsts rising up from the Andaman Sea, steamy night markets and Buddhist temples. And of course, the fine flavours of Thai cuisine will linger on your taste buds throughout your trip to Thailand. It\u2019s so easy to see why the destination consistently ranks as one of the world\u2019s most popular tourist spots year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY:<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/tours\/treasures-of-thailand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Treasures of Thailand<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ready-for-your-trip-to-thailand\">Ready for your <strong>trip to Thailand<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Paradise found \u2013 that\u2019s how you\u2019ll feel on your trip to Thailand, whether you\u2019re planning to visit the hill tribes up north, catch up on some retail therapy in Bangkok, or want to spend your days watching the waves and soaking up the salty sea air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/kayaking-tropical-vacation-trip-tourist-boat-conce-P8YXQAB-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Kayaking amongst the karsts in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-25392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kayaking-tropical-vacation-trip-tourist-boat-conce-P8YXQAB-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kayaking-tropical-vacation-trip-tourist-boat-conce-P8YXQAB-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kayaking-tropical-vacation-trip-tourist-boat-conce-P8YXQAB-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kayaking-tropical-vacation-trip-tourist-boat-conce-P8YXQAB-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kayaking-tropical-vacation-trip-tourist-boat-conce-P8YXQAB.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But you\u2019ll never forget those Thai smiles along the way.

Even if you\u2019re not a keen shopper, you are going to be grateful for that extra space for those many souvenirs you\u2019ve snapped up to remind you of your incredible lifechanging adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-wear-in-thailand\"><strong>What to wear in Thailand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be forgiven for thinking tank tops and shorts are what you should pack and wear for your trip to Thailand. And for the most part, you would be right, except for cultural and religious sites where you\u2019ll be required to keep your knees and shoulders covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/woman-visit-thailand-grand-palace-ZN62MVN-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"Cultural trip to Thailand, including visit to Grand Palace in Bangkok\" class=\"wp-image-25394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/woman-visit-thailand-grand-palace-ZN62MVN-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/woman-visit-thailand-grand-palace-ZN62MVN-330x174.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/woman-visit-thailand-grand-palace-ZN62MVN.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thailand is noticeably big on respect and your hosts will appreciate your effort to respect their culture and religious beliefs by paying attention to what you wear. Pack loose shirts, trousers and long dresses, and carry a pashmina or wide scarf if you\u2019re wearing a strapless top, to cover your shoulders at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also be required to slip off your shoes from time to time. So, the best option for your trip to Thailand is to pack footwear you don\u2019t need to lace-up. You\u2019ll likely be doing a fair bit of walking and you\u2019ll want something that supports your feet more than the average pair of flip flops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/kamile-leo-1xo_bzIhUh0-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Birkenstocks are a great option on what to wear in Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-25393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kamile-leo-1xo_bzIhUh0-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kamile-leo-1xo_bzIhUh0-unsplash-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kamile-leo-1xo_bzIhUh0-unsplash-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kamile-leo-1xo_bzIhUh0-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/kamile-leo-1xo_bzIhUh0-unsplash.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to what to wear in Thailand coastal areas, however, things are much more relaxed. Swimsuits, t-shirts and shorts are the order of the day. For ladies, pack a swimsuit cover-up or sarong in your day bag and go from beach to restaurant ready in seconds. And of course, don\u2019t forget to lather up using reef-safe sunscreen and to wear your hat to shield yourself from Thailand\u2019s tropical sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT<\/em><\/strong><em>: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/films-about-thailand-inspire-next-holiday\/\"><em>7 films about Thailand that will inspire your next holiday<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-pack-for-thailand\"><strong>What to pack for Thailand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sunscreen\">Sunscreen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter what time of year you\u2019re planning your trip to Thailand, one consistent companion is the fierce sun. Top of your list on what to pack for Thailand has to be high SPF reef-safe sunscreen, after-sun and a wide-brimmed hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-portable-charger\">Portable charger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a portable charger in your daypack will come in handy when you\u2019ve run out of battery power. Trust us, you will if you\u2019re using your phone as a camera and for directions. You may also want to consider buying a SIM card in Thailand to have constant Internet coverage. This can be purchased either at the airport or local 7-11. While we\u2019re at it, packing a universal travel adapter is always a good idea because Thailand uses four plug types.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/young-tourist-man-taking-picture-with-camera-again-NURQCYJ-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Visit the temples of Bangkok, Thailand\" class=\"wp-image-25396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/young-tourist-man-taking-picture-with-camera-again-NURQCYJ-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/young-tourist-man-taking-picture-with-camera-again-NURQCYJ-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/young-tourist-man-taking-picture-with-camera-again-NURQCYJ-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/young-tourist-man-taking-picture-with-camera-again-NURQCYJ-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/young-tourist-man-taking-picture-with-camera-again-NURQCYJ.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-waterproof\">Waterproof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thailand\u2019s rainy season is from July to October, pretty much countrywide. If you\u2019re planning your cultural trip to Thailand over this period, you could pack a lightweight raincoat or umbrella. Don&#8217;t worry, both of these will be readily available at many shops and markets in Thailand if you forget to pack them.&nbsp; Our go-to tip for rainy destinations? Pack a light microfibre towel \u2013 even one of those soft microfibre cloths for washing cars will do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hand-sanitiser-sanitising-hand-wipes-and-tissues\">Hand sanitiser, sanitising hand wipes and tissues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s ever been to a public restroom in Thailand will know that these are essentials to have on hand. Think ahead and carry items these items in your handbag or day pack. One final tip here: Thailand is renowned for its clogged sewers so take care not to flush toilet paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/02\/tourist-woman-exploring-the-city-of-bangkok-with-r-YZART3M-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring Bangkok, Thailand, by boat\" class=\"wp-image-25397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tourist-woman-exploring-the-city-of-bangkok-with-r-YZART3M-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tourist-woman-exploring-the-city-of-bangkok-with-r-YZART3M-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tourist-woman-exploring-the-city-of-bangkok-with-r-YZART3M-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tourist-woman-exploring-the-city-of-bangkok-with-r-YZART3M-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/tourist-woman-exploring-the-city-of-bangkok-with-r-YZART3M.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-refillable-water-bottle\">Refillable water bottle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thailand is not immune to the ravages of single-use plastic.
