Hands down – linen is the BEST fabric to pack for Thailand. At home, it’s ideal when you want to look decently put-together but it’s humid as #$@&. This shirt is 100% linen (skip right past anything that's a blend – it won't keep you cool in Thai heat). Go for long sleeves: they roll up easily when you’re hot and roll down when you want the sun protection. Bonus: linen shirts tend to fit slightly over-sized (‘boyfriend’ fit for women) – hot days are so much more comfortable when you have breathing room. Throw in a dual-voltage travel steamer and you’re ready to roll.
