Any sunny beach destination or vacation of such sorts requires apt sun protection. Sun screen is a must-have when you are planning on chilling at the beach a few hours a day. Getting tanned is one of the first things the westerners want to have when they travel to this part of the world but doing so without proper sun protection can be quite a painful experience. Depending on the time of the day, the sunlight here can be scorching or mildly sunny, therefore, it is better if you are ready for all kinds of light. If you forget to pack sunscreen lotion you can always purchase one at a local store or pharmacy in Thailand.
