🌍 When to go to Thailand
The cool, dry season from November to February brings comfortable temperatures and little rain across most of Thailand. April is brutally hot, while the monsoon from May to October soaks much of the country, though dive seasons differ between the Gulf and Andaman coasts.

- View ↗Area mosquito repellerProtects a zone rather than skin — works where spray-on repellent sweats off in an hour.
- View ↗Rechargeable camping fanMoving air matters more than cooling air in humidity. Doubles as a lantern.
- View ↗Personal water filterRemoves bacteria and protozoa. Weighs nothing and settles the tap-water question.
- View ↗Roll-top dry bagAfternoon downpours are routine, not exceptional. Electronics and documents stay dry.
