Can you wear strapless tops in Thailand?

What Not to Wear in Thailand. There's a few things you probably won't want to wear in Thailand. In general I never pack booty shorts, strappy tank tops, leggings, or heels to Thailand. Unless you plan on going clubbing in Bangkok I would definitely leave the heels at home.

By showing some discretion about what you wear you will win respect from your Thai hosts. Many Thai people will be wearing black or white, but this isn't mandatory. Tourists aren't expected to dress in the same way as Thai people, but showing respect will be appreciated by locals.

Thailand is probably one of the safest places in the world to crossdress openly, so if that's your style then you'll probably have a blast. Just make sure you aren't discarding chewing gum on the floor, you might end up with a hefty fine or spending the night behind bars!

You won't want to carry too much cash with you in Thailand, so using a card is ideal. However, your regular bank card may come with high foreign transaction fees. Avoid this by getting a dedicated travel money card from a service like Wise or Revolut.
