Pack light. Clothing for 4-5 days is
sufficient, as inexpensive laundry services are widely
available in tourist areas. Bring light clothing that
is easy to wash and iron. Sandals and light shoes are
adequate – leave at home heavy hiking boots unless you
plan some serious walking. A sweater is handy for cool
season nights and drastically air-conditioned buildings.
Top hotel restaurants usually require a tie, sometimes
a jacket.
Women take note: Sanitary napkins are far more
common in Thailand than tampons. If you really prefer
tampons, it is best to bring your own. If you are on
prescription medicine, bring adequate supplies. Ask
your doctor for alternate names of the drugs you are
taking.
