How to use it
ครีมกันแดดkriim-gan-dàet is "cream against the sun", and you put it on with ทาtaa, to apply. Every 7-Eleven sells it, and many Thais wear it every day, since pale skin is widely seen as beautiful. Sunscreens with chemicals that harm coral are banned in Thailand's marine national parks, so pick a reef-safe one for snorkelling trips.
