For those of you who already have plans to travel to Thailand, consider the following:

• Pack an umbrella to help shield you from the sun’s scorching heat and be prepared if rain comes

• Always use sunscreen before going outdoors

• Pay attention to your clothing, make sure the material is sweat-absorbent

• Carry spare clothes, so you can change when your clothes become too wet with sweat

• Pay attention to the nutrition from the food you consume and make sure your nutritional needs are met

• Don’t forget to hydrate, always bring mineral water wherever you go

• As much as possible, seek shade when feeling tired

• Bring a portable fan to help cool off

• Don’t push yourself and rest immediately if you feel any discomfort in your body

• Avoid pushing yourself to travel when you are feeling unwell

Traveling in hot weather can be uncomfortable and makes the risk of getting sick. So, make sure to protect yourself with Travel Insurance from MSIG Indonesia before you depart to Thailand. You can feel more at ease knowing that insurance protection is there to cover the risk if you get sick while traveling.

Enjoy your trip and hopefully the current hot weather will soon subside, so you can enjoy your vacation more comfortably.
