I did kl direct to phuket in a day june last year with 2 friends.. 16hrs on the road....was fun but exhausting

8 of those hours were with a wet boot coz we got caught under sudden heavy rain....my friend n i got fungal infection on our feet after that...sheesh.

Bought waterproof riding pants to pair with my waterproof boots so water won't go in from the top. Them fungal infections r fucking annoying

that is not good... I prefer 'air' boots, with thin socks, so yes they soak up, but they dry up also
but, first time hear fungal at feet from rain water.... other parts kena fungal after a trip to Thai is more... common

how long before the feet recovers? I heard they stay on for quite a while, and desperate measure calls for bleach soak

Its not the rain water...its the prolonged damp environment....n its not just water...sweat too...n lets admit it....everyones feet is gonna be some form of dirty no matter wat.

Fungal infection on feet also known as athletes foot.

Can be 2-3 weeks with treatment..ive had longer n have heard of even longer..that includes creams n also bleach soak. I also carry anti fungal.powder which i put on before wearing the boots n after reaching destination n mandi. Also when the infection is active...all this to try keep the feet dry. Worst part, once u get it....very high chance of it coming back. Didnt learn about all this shit untill i actually kena the damn thing.

Actually bleach soak/baths are good to have periodically.... especially if u have eczema. We malaysians are more into dettol baths, but dettol only works for virus n bacteria n germs...whereas bleach is all encompassing as it kills everything...ratio is abt the same as a typical swimming pool water.

I dont like stopping for rain hence the waterproof boots n pants. Jacket is still mesh as legs getting warm isnt an issue but body getting warm can be bad....will wear raincoat if the rain looks like.its.gonna be heavy n long.
