Trekking
in this part of Thailand
is very safe and accidents
are very rare but still
safety is always a priority.
A limited amount of accident
insurance is provided to
cover some medical bills
in case of an injury but
it is advised that you have
your own comprehensive accident
insurance. |
|
|
| |
|
Wear
light clothes as trekking
in this part of the world
can be hot and sweaty work.
Shorts, T shirt and a sun
hat are ideal. Long trousers
are OK as they will protect
your lower legs more but
will be hotter to wear. |
| |
|
Although
day time temperatures are
usually hot you will need
at least a warm jumper for
the evenings and early mornings.
In the cold season temperatures
can get very cold! Please be prepared and bring warm clothes. |
| |
|
In the rainy
season from April to October
bring a rain coat and a
dry change of clothes. Rain is possible at any time of the year so it will probably be worth packing a lightweight rain coat even in the dry season. |
| |
|
Although
hiking boots aren't a necessity
at least a sturdy pair of
running shoes should be
worn. Some people trek with
sandals but they do leave
your feet open to be scratched
by vegetation also flip
flops (thongs) aren't appropriate
as they don't provide enough
support. |
