 even the small dogs suffer on
hot days by trisanna
You need to be patient with yourself and remember to hydrate yourself. You should be drinking atleast two litres of water a day. If you feel lightheaded, nauseous -you should add more salt to your diet. (since you lose all that when you sweat). Eat potato chips, fries -whatever. There are many isotonic drinks at the market and are available at 7 elevens all over thailand. Some are 100 plus and Poki Sweat (or something like that). They taste like a salty less sweet Sprite. Very pleasant.
If you have a sensitive digestive system-you should ask for drinks without ice, brush your teeth with bottled water. Many hotels will put bottled water in the bathrooms for this purpose. Hotels that have filtrated water systems-will say so on the sink or they will tell you during check in. I know the Oriental hotel has this.
If you start to feel sick-stop eating most fruit. Bananas are good for a suffering digestive system.
Also, it's important not to push yourself too much. If you feel quite drained-head to Siam Sq and go into some of the airconditioned malls for relief. Leave a Comment

Don't underestimate the heat and humidity! Carry bottled water with you that you know is safe to drink, take regular breaks in an airconditioned shop, make sure you drink enough fluids. I nearly fainted a few times and I was coming from Nairobi in the summer, so from 27-29oC dry heat to 35-39oC wet heat. Big change! I tried walking to the place I was meeting my husband as the taxi I was in was in a traffic jam and getting late. Bad move. I arrived in a bath of sweat, headache, dehydrated, overheated, shaking etc I was only walking on the street for 20 mins! Leave a Comment

BKK can get REALLY hot & humid during the dry months (Mar-Aug) with temperatures reaching 40C with high humidity. The heat can be pretty sapping on soul and energy. Clothes will cling to you after a while so make sure you bring lots of breathable cotton clothes or the new ClimateCool and Dryfit clothes. Keep the polyesters at home.
Make sure you drink lots of fluids, eat lots of vegetables and fruits. Take more showers if necessary to cool yourself down. Getting dehydrated or a heat stroke is not at all enjoyable.
BKK is also known for its traffic pollution so it is advisable not to walk too much near the centre of town after noon time as pollution usually reach its peak the few hours after noon. Leave a Comment

Check the weather! Bangkok in May is hot and humid. Coming from a tropical country, I thought nothing of going to Bangkok in May thinking that if I could bear the heat and humidity of Manila, then Bangkok would be a breeze. I WAS WRONG! I couldn't even walk half a kilometer in Bangkok during the day without having to seek shelter in air conditioned buildings. It was HOT and HUMID! I enjoy a good sauna treatment, but not while fully clothed! And, of course, getting soaked with sweat and drying yourself up in airconditioned rooms after the soaking gives you a bad case of the sniffles. Leave a Comment

When it's hot in Bangkok, you're gonna know about it. There have been times when my clothes have been soaked through with sweat, it's so bad. This combined with the pollution and humidity, can make wandering around rather unpleasant, and it is a good idea to be armed with a bottle of water, if not to drink then perhaps to pour over your head! Also remember to dress sensibly. Leave a Comment
