❓ FAQ
Packing for Thailand — common questions
What should I wear to Thai temples?+
Shoulders and knees must be covered. Carry a light scarf or sarong you can throw on, and wear shoes that slip off easily.
Is it always raining in Thailand?+
The monsoon (roughly June–October) brings heavy but short downpours. Quick-dry clothes and a packable rain layer handle it well.
