The stress of keeping your luggage within weight is hard enough without waiting to get the airport to find out if you were successful! Having one of these at home is so handy

Love the uniqlo airism range as the fabric is so breathable in hot climates! Also, you need to have your shoulders covered in temples so this is a good option for that
Women's AIRism Cotton T-Shirt
This style of Birkenstock has been amazing for me! I've got two pairs and wear them every single day. I've never had any blisters or issues wearing them, they're so comfy. Also because they're made of a plastic material, they're completely waterproof...
BIRKENSTOCK
A nice long flowy skirt is perfect for the temperatures here! Easy to throw on and also suitable for visits to the temples

So easy to wear - goes with everything! Can also be cleaned easily

You'll be walking a lot! Comfy trainers are a must
These tops are honestly a game changer! I've bought a few in different colours and they're really comfortable and easy to wear. The built in bra also means you'll be 10x more comfortable exploring in the heat.
Women's Bra Tops - UNIQLO
One of the easiest things to add to your wardrobe. I have linen trousers in almost every colour and print at this point! They're so comfy and easy to wear. Plus a great material for surviving the heat.
Uniqlo Linen Trousers
Another effortless wardrobe staple. So easy to wear - instantly elevates an outfit and helps you look more put together. The fabric is breathable so good for the heat and also works well for excursions in Thailand where shoulders need to be covered.
Uniqlo WOMEN'S PREMIUM LINEN SHIRT
If you're visiting during rainy season, then you'll probably want to get yourself a rain jacket (better safe than sorry)! I got this one from Uniqlo from last year and it's lasted well. It's not totally waterproof but helps keep most of the rain off ...
