The weather in Thailand is mostly hot and sometimes rainy, similar to the climate in Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore, the basic advice is to avoid wearing long pants or skirts when visiting this country. Optimal choices include outfits combining shorts with T-shirts. You can also pair a short dress, jumpsuit, or a short skirt with ankle-length leggings. Alibaba pants are an excellent option for those who prefer long pants to protect against the sun but still want flexibility due to the elastic band just above the ankle. Comfortable sneakers or low-heeled shoes will be convenient for extensive walking. If you still want to wear dresses or high heels, consider bringing them only for specific photo locations and not for a hectic travel itinerary.
Additionally, essential items to cope with the weather here include a hat, umbrella, besides sports shoes for long walks. You also need to bring a pair of flip-flops or waterproof plastic shoes, a waterproof bag for electronic devices such as cameras and phones is highly recommended.
