Local style + dress code
Bangkok is hot-casual but cover shoulders + knees for temples (Wat Pho, Grand Palace). Pack a sarong/light scarf β staff at temples will not let you in otherwise. Linen beats cotton in humid heat.
Dress code: casual
Public holidays in Thailand

The Thai Baht (THB, symbol ΰΈΏ) is the official currency. Live exchange rates are updated daily.

Each city has month-by-month packing lists computed from local climate data β temperatures, rainfall, peak hazard seasons, and Thailand's dress code.
