When I packed for Thailand, I already knew that pulling off an outfit would be a struggle. On one hand, I wanted to respect the culture and keep things conservative. Temples and crop tops don't exactly mix. On the other hand, Thailand's unforgiving hot and humid weather would want me wear as little as possible.
Yes, it was a challenge. So I had prepared 10 outfits for a 3-day trip. Judge, you must. But in my defense, I wasn’t just packing clothes. I was packing options.
Here’s a look at my outfits of the day as I embraced the heat, humidity, and inevitable sweat stains of Thailand:
Going to Thailand
Since this trip was sponsored by Cebu Pacific, I made sure to proudly represent the Davao Bloggers Society by rocking our official DBS uniform. And to keep it comfy, I paired it with straight pants and Nike Air Max shoes.

Exploring the Ancient Ruins
I explored Ayutthaya in my palazzo pants, a light tank top, and these Dr. Martens Zane Brando sandals for that perfect mix of comfort and edge.

Temple Hopping
An active Thai temple has a dress code in place that prohibits: bottoms above the knee, crop tops, sleeveless tops, plunging necklines, see-through fabrics, and tight or ripped clothing. In short, anything that’s too revealing is a no-go.

So I decided to keep it comfortable and respectful with a breezy, below-the-knee dress made from cool, breathable fabric paired with my trusty Nikes. It was the perfect combo for exploring in the intense heat, allowing me to stay modest while still feeling fresh.
Strolling at IconSiam
I wore a pink spaghetti strap crop top, flared jeans, and my Nikes while strolling in this luxury shopping mall with stunning views. Great for walking. Not so great for the street food binge that left my bloated tummy on full display. Yes, they got street food inside the mall at a street food price!

Foodtrip at Jodd Fairs
Rocked a floral crop top, high-waist shorts, and my Dr. Martens platform sandals at this busy food market. Started the night cute, comfy, and so ready to eat (including those creepy crawlies) until it rained heavily nonstop. So ang ending? We only stayed huddled in one food stall with our mango sticky rice. And I was freezing!

Buying Pasalubong
Out and about shopping for souvenirs and pasalubongs in my white sleeveless button-up, denim skirt, Nikes, and these slouchy socks that's channeling my early 2000s high school days.

Going Home
Made a quick stop at McDonald's before heading to the airport. Loving these brown plaid coords. Cozy, chic, and the perfect outfit for a long flight home!

I haven't really prepared for my OOTDs because when it was announced that I was one of the selected bloggers to fly out, there was less than a month left to get ready for the trip. So I just had to make do with what's already on my closet. But I think I managed to pull it off.
Thailand, you were hot, humid, and fabulous—and so were my outfits!
