Yes, didn't think about the condensation because it wasn't as much of
an issue for me in Laos (my bedroom had AC but the rest of the house
didn't).

Yes, I can't believe I forgot about these (also called re-hydration
salts), absolutely invaluable! If you're not used to hot weather and
drinking a lot of water then I'd recommend drinking a batch of these
the first couple of days to make sure you're staying hydrated. I
found the ones I could by in Asia tasted better and mixed up better
than the ones that I brought from Canada. Another good substitute is
Gatorade or another sports drink like that, I think you can get it at
7-11 in Thailand but I could be wrong.
