Songkran is over, but there are still plenty of public holidays ahead—and, after all, it’s always beach weather in Bangkok. For the villa and the beach, BK has a list of splash-proof homegrown swimwear to support local talent.

 

Founded in 2022, this local swimwear brand makes products from recycled plastics and eco-friendly materials. But it doesn’t stop there, parts of their packaging—like the elastic tag with a cute charm—are reusable. The swimsuits also come in a variety of styles, from colorful bikini tops to sporty monotone one-pieces. Prices start at B1,290.

 

In 2016, three friends came together to establish what would be known as Bangkok's leading swimwear label. With vintage silhouettes and patterns, this brand is great for those who want to keep things modest and playful. Their latest summer collection is a collaboration with Greyhound Original, pulling references from kitschy vacation trinkets and souvenirs. Prices start at B690.

 

With a distinct retro style in their DNA, April Pool Day’s pieces float to the top of swimsuit labels. The pattern is fashioned to fit Asian body types, but with its popularity the brand is looking to create more inclusive sizing. It’s also made out of high quality Italian imported material, so you can definitely get away with wearing some of the pieces day-to-day. Prices start at B690.

 

Plunging right into the next brand, Swimsaic is one for those that aren't afraid to dress bold by the beach. Their host of swimwear and holiday outfits are typically filled with unique abstract patterns, and lean toward gorgeous jewel tones. Their neutral pieces often deliver intriguing asymmetrical cut outs that give the body some contouring. Prices start at B990.

 

We all know that sizing tends to run small in Thai stores. Geebeety is a shop that sells trendy plus size clothing, and their swimwear collection is equally adorable. They’ve got bikinis inspired by Powerpuffgirls, flower-pattern one pieces, and chic black and white attire that will make you look like you’ve come out of a vintage movie poster. The suits are form-fitting and have removable padding. Prices start at B289.
 

We’ve probably exhausted all the aesthetics and micro trends in the past few years, from ballet-core to dark academia. In 2024, it's all about going back to the basics. As part of Thai fashion brand Victeerut’s portfolio, V Activewear’s UV protective and recycled polyester bathing suits are designed to maximize movement. In their chic full body suits, you can go from gym to pool without changing outfits. Sizes go from XS-XL and prices start from B1,000.

 

The beach babes that love a high-cut swimsuit will have a romp browsing through Cote d’Soleil. Their flattering silhouette allows more room for movement while elongating the legs. Living up to its name, which translates to “coast of sun,” the pleasing hues and ribbed texture encapsulates the mood of sandy beaches, cave walls, and ocean waves. Apart from bathing suits, they also carry soft and airy knitwear perfect for a beach cover-up. Prices start at B790.

 

A label that does whimsical right. If you’re not one to sacrifice fashion on vacation, this one’s for you. Their minimalistic pieces are made out of high quality durable material that’s also able to appear delicate and ethereal. All the products are handmade in a Bangkok studio to guarantee the best finish. Prices start at B1,100.

 

Spf.co is where you can find the next casual and elegant fits for the beach. Their one-pieces and bikinis follow a standard silhouette so you won’t have to worry about weird tan lines. They’re most well known for solid color suits, but some funky floral patterns and 70s-inspired stripes are available for those who want to spice it up. Prices start from B1,300.

 

The Y2K trend is not over. This Insta-famous bathing suit store usually goes for the classic triangle bikini cut with the trendiest patterns and unique detailing such as incorporating beads and charms into the straps. For a youthful holiday look, jump on their latest cherry bikini. You can also find the matching cover up top in the same pattern. Prices start at B690.
