Travel Tip

This tour is best suited for active travellers who enjoy immersive experiences and don't mind busy days in warm weather. While the pace is moderate, the combination of activities and tropical climate makes it more energetic than leisurely.

Essential Tips for Tropical Travel

Having experienced the consistent heat throughout our journey, here are our tried-and-tested tips for staying comfortable in tropical Southeast Asia:

Time Your Activities Wisely

Start your explorations early in the day when temperatures are milder. We found morning walks much more enjoyable, and many attractions are less crowded too. Take advantage of indoor activities during the peak heat of midday.

Dress Smart, Not Just Light

• Quick-dry, loose-fitting clothes are your best friends

• Light-colored, breathable fabrics work wonders

• Don't forget a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses

• Pack an umbrella in your day bag, it’s a great sunshield!

Hydration is Key

Water is provided on the tour bus, drink it! staying hydrated made a huge difference in our energy levels. Consider adding electrolyte tablets to your water on particularly active days. You can buy electrolyte drinks at all convenience stores – 100 Plus Isotonic Drink was my favourite.

Strategic Cooling Breaks

The tour guide does plan regular stops in air-conditioned spaces like museums, shopping centers, or hotel lobbies, take advantage of them. These breaks helped us recharge and continue exploring comfortably.

Sun Protection Plus

Beyond just sunscreen (reapply every 2-3 hours!), we found carrying an umbrella made a world of difference during our outdoor walks.
