Other Information

The temperatures during the day are quite hot throughout the year and the sun is burning mercilessly down at you. You should bring a large drinking water bottle and you must protect your skin from sunburn.
During the day it is best to wear long trousers and a shirt with long sleeves. Also you should wear a hat. (Thais usually cover every part of their body with clothes if they have to remain in the sun for long.)

From the end of November to the beginning of February it can become quite cold at night. Sometimes near freezing temperatures in high places. You should prepare some warm clothes if you go trekking during that time.

During rainy season, from August to November, a rain coat or poncho may be appropriate.

While bamboo rafting you will become a little wet. It is best to wear shorts and sandals (if you have) while rafting.
