Imagine what it would feel like wearing a fur coat in a sauna for several hours. My colleagues and I agreed that this was an appropriate description for the way we felt this past weekend during our sightseeing around Bangkok. Never have I experienced such humidity, nor have I sweated so profusely in all my life. Although it’s hard to come up with any list of clothing suggestions for a trip to the steamy and sultry tropics, I have learned a few lessons I think are worth sharing.
Double Up: Bring twice as many clothes and undergarments as you normally would. You will be showering a few times a day and changing clothes just as often. You will return to your hotel soaking wet. I would budget having two to three different outfits for each day, depending on how much time you expect to spend outdoors.
