Aloe thrives in containers or raised beds, needing at least six hours of sunlight daily. Health-wise, aloe vera offers sunburn relief, skin hydration, and wound healing, perfect for Hua Hin’s sunny, humid environment. The gel can also be used in refreshing drinks and desserts, such as tropical smoothies or aloe jelly cubes. To harvest, select mature leaves, extract the clear gel, and store it fresh or frozen.
