There are probably more ways than what I’ve given here to cope and acclimate to the climate in Thailand. But here are my 10 ways that I generally use to cope with the heat and humidity in Thailand.
1. Try and stay in the shade and out of the sun is much as possible.
2. Try to exercise first thing in the morning or last thing at night.
3. Drink plenty of water (help you avoid headache, nausea and dizziness) or coconut water which is available everywhere.
4. Consume more salt than usual (try to retain your potassium balance by eating bananas). If sweating profusely make sure to replenish your electrolytes.
5. Eat healthy, light food – Local fresh fruit and salads should be included in a humid-climate diet.
6. Wear loose fitting clothing made from natural fibers – light colors and natural fabrics like cotton and linen are some of the coolest.
Under Armour’s cotton synthetic blends have moisture-wicking of tech fabric with the comfort of cotton. Because cotton absorbs moisture, many people like moisture-wicking synthetics, not a sweat-drenched shirt.

7. Wear a hat or keep your head protected from the direct sun in some way.
8. Try carrying a damp towel carried around in a plastic bag. If getting overheated keep in mind that 7-11 sells small towels that are refrigerated and are very cooling.
9. Avoid air-conditioning, if you can – Seek out cool places, sure, but try a fan, sitting in a cool breeze or under a tree. If you need cool air for sleeping you can try keeping it set a higher setting than normal so that it removes the humidity from the room and sleep with a fan or run the air conditioner for an hour or so before bed and then turn it off and sleep with a fan.
10. Take multiple showers during the day – try using some brand of talcum or baby powder to stay dry.
