The tropical heat in Phuket is intense and humid. To stay comfortable while exploring the island or walking through Patong, these 10 items are essential:
Breathable, Lightweight Fabrics
Pack clothes made of linen, rayon, or moisture-wicking materials. These fabrics allow for maximum airflow and dry incredibly fast - which is a lifesaver if you’re caught in a sudden tropical rain shower.
Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Protecting your skin is a priority, but protecting Phuket’s beautiful underwater world is just as important. Choose a "Reef-Safe" mineral sunscreen (Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide-based). You’ll stay protected from the intense sun while keeping the Andaman Sea’s marine life healthy.
Polarized Sunglasses
The sun reflecting off the turquoise water and white sand can be incredibly bright, and standard fashion lenses often aren't enough to prevent eye strain. Polarized lenses cut through the glare allowing you to see much more clearly, perfect for those long boat rides to Phi Phi or the Similan Islands.
Wide-Brimmed Sun Hat
A straw hat or a foldable sun hat provides 360-degree shade. It keeps you significantly cooler by keeping the sun off your face and neck, which is the secret to avoiding a nasty "tourist burn."
Smart Footwear (Sandals & Water Shoes)
In Thailand, you’ll frequently remove your shoes to enter some local shops, spas, and especially temples. Comfortable slip-on sandals are the most practical choice. If you plan on island hopping or visiting rocky coves, bring water shoes to protect your feet from sharp coral.
Insulated Water Bottle
Staying hydrated is the best way to prevent heat exhaustion. Bring a reusable insulated bottle to keep your water ice-cold. Most hotels in Phuket now offer refill stations, helping you stay cool while reducing plastic waste.
Waterproof Dry Bag
Whether you’re on a longtail boat or lounging by the pool, a 5L - 10L dry bag is a must. It keeps your phone, camera, and wallet safe from salt water, sand, and unexpected splashes during boat tours.
Cooling Mists & Menthol Powder
For an instant refresh, do what the locals do! Pick up some "Snake Brand" cooling powder or a menthol body mist at a local pharmacy. It provides an immediate "chilly" sensation that helps you handle the midday heat.
Respectful Layers (The Temple Kit)
Phuket’s temples, like the Big Buddha, require modest dress (covered shoulders and knees). Keep a lightweight sarong or linen scarf in your bag. It’s a perfect, breathable cover-up that you can wrap around yourself only when needed.
Thai Inhaler (Ya Dom)
A local favorite for a reason! These small, herb-infused inhalers provide a refreshing burst of menthol and camphor that can help clear your head and make you feel instantly more alert in the humid afternoon heat.
