How to prepare clothes and reminders
After this explanation, except for the large temperature difference between morning and evening in the dry season in northern and northeastern Thailand, the rest of the area can be seen mostly hot, very hot, and very hot. No matter which area I go to, I will wear a thin coat with UV protection and sunscreen in my luggage. On the one hand, if you are riding a motorcycle, you can block some ultraviolet rays from the sun, and on the other hand, it will not be cold when you return to the hotel at night.
In addition, in Bangkok MRT trains, department stores, food courts or restaurants, the air-conditioning temperature is low, and the wind is quite strong, so due to cold considerations, there will be a thin shawl (big scarf) in the bag, sometimes wearing shorts to enter It’s easy to feel cold even after sitting for a while. At this time, the shawl is also quite effective to cover.
Next, some readers will travel with family and children. They belong to the group least able to catch a cold during the trip. It is recommended to choose the material of the stroller. It is best to use breathable material for the back recliner or buy a cool pad. It's so hot that I don't want to take the car, and I just want someone to hold it.When entering the room, use a small square towel to moisten it and wipe off the sweat immediately. Elderly people and children should pay attention to it.
