Bangkok in March: Conquer the Heat & MBK Like a Pro!
March in Bangkok means sunshine and heat. Here's your survival guide for staying cool and maximizing your MBK Center shopping experience:
Sun & Skin Defense:
- Sunscreen: Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ is your best friend. Apply liberally 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours (especially after sweating). Don't forget ears, neck, and hands!
- Hat & Umbrella: A wide-brimmed hat and UV umbrella offer extra protection, especially during midday.
- Hydration: Carry a reusable water bottle and drink consistently. Hydrating sheet masks are great after a day in the sun and air-conditioning.
- Cleanse: Gently cleanse your face twice daily to remove sweat, sunscreen, and pollution.
- Lips: Protect your lips with SPF 30+ lip balm.
