Thailand in summer isn’t something you casually walk into.
It’s heat, humidity, and a full-blown water fight during Songkran!
Locals know the trick: you don’t fight it, you gear up for it.
Think of this as your Thai Summer Survival Kit—a curated list of essentials to keep you cool, comfortable, and completely in the moment.
And the best part? You can pick it all up at ICONSIAM.
Elephant Pants
Loose, airy, and unmistakably iconic, elephant pants are more than just a souvenir. They’re a way of life in the heat. Designed to move with you, they keep you cool through humid afternoons and dry quickly after a splash, making them ideal for Songkran days.

Sunglasses
A must in your survival kit. The Thai sun is intense year-round and even more so in peak summer. Eye protection is necessary for comfort.
WASTIC turns upcycled plastic waste into bold, lightweight, and trendy frames. Each frame is made from recycled plastic pellets, equivalent to up to two recycled water bottles.
They can be customized by adding the unique charms, including natural pearls, a product sourced from local communities in Southern Thailand, and symbolic stones, believed to attract positive energy, including luck, prosperity, and success.

Cooling Powder
The ultimate heat hack. This iconic cooling powder has been a Thai summer essential for decades—and for good reason. Instant cool, less stickiness and keeps you feeling fresh even in peak humidity.
Snake Brand has been around for over a century and is deeply embedded in Thai households. It’s one of those products passed down through generations.

Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Sunscreen is an everyday essential in Thailand, not just for the beach, but for daily city life due to strong UV exposure. FINEDAY Sunscreen is made for tropical days in Thailand—whether you’re exploring the city or heading out to the islands.
This lightweight sunscreen is dermatologist-tested for sensitive skin. It’s also reef-safe, making it a better choice for Thailand’s beaches and marine life. The formula is vegan and free from silicone, oil, alcohol, fragrance, and parabens—so it feels comfortable on the skin, even with frequent reapplication throughout the day.
One sunscreen for everything—from Bangkok streets to island hopping.
