Thailand
Bangkok dresses for heat (35°C+ year-round), humidity (75%+), and the temple dress code. The Grand Palace and major wats strictly enforce covered shoulders and covered knees — no exceptions, not even scarves as shoulder cover-ups. Monsoon season (May-October) brings 1-2 hour afternoon rain bursts; quick-dry fabrics beat cotton. Slip-on shoes save time at every temple entrance and restaurant threshold. Sukhumvit and Thonglor are cosmopolitan and dressy; the old city dresses modestly.
