Do We Need to Bring Insect Repellent and Sunscreen?Using sunscreen is strongly recommended. It's the tropics and the sun is strong and direct. There are numerous international brands available in Thailand, but if there is a brand you prefer, we suggest you bring a tube or two with you. I recommend Coppertone Sport SPF 30. It stays on well even when you sweat.
Insect repellent is more of a personal choice. I prefer not to use it, but others can't live without it, so it's really up to you whether you wear it or not. Again, if there is a brand you prefer bring it from home, otherwise, there are many brands available for purchase here.
