Koktail Kurious: Thai Stars on What Comes to Mind When the Heat Takes Over

Koktail Kurious: Thai Stars on What Comes to Mind When the Heat Takes Over

See how Thai celebrities stay cool during the scorching March heat, from icy treats and chilled drinks to beach escapes and refreshing routines.

By the time March comes around, the heat is no longer a small thing. It softens your energy and shifts your routine. You find yourself thinking less about getting things done and more about how to stay cool. Getting through the day takes more effort, workouts feel optional and staying cool becomes the only real plan.

It got us thinking, so we asked Thai celebrities what’s the first thing that comes to mind when the March heat hits.

Some go straight to refreshing desserts and cooling meals because food always saves the day. Others think of escaping to the sea, or even leaning into the heat (because apparently, heat meets heat?). Either way, everyone has their own way of dealing with it.
