What to Wear

Loose and light summer clothing (preferably natural fabrics) is recommended, especially for outdoor activities like bazaar shopping and sightseeing.

Evening wear depends very much on the setting. Jeans, T-shirts and sandals are acceptable in casual eateries, most restaurants and discos, but discouraged in fine dining establishments (some hotel restaurants refuse anyone wearing a singlet) For woman, anything from dressy silk to casual cotton is always appropriate.

Thailand is a conservative country and the people dress accordingly.
