A big scarf is a must! It can be very usefull. A scarf protects your head against the sun or against rain.A scarf can be used instead of a basket, when you buy fruits on the market. A scarf covers the cushion, so you don't need to sleep on dirty sheets. Folded the scarf can be used as a cushion itself.A scarf can even be used as a rope or a skirt or...A scarf is a very helpful thing.
Thermal or silk underwear in Winter, layering to a padded jacket which can be taken off indoors. Casual light clothing for the summer months. Leave the mini skirts and low cut tops at home. Good pair of flat walking shoes.. Packets of tissues. Moist towelettes. Bar of antibacterial soap. Sunscreen in Summer, moisturiser in winter. Lomotil (just in case).. Umbrella.
When you're backpacking, weight is everything. When I first started my trip, I thought I was traveling light when my pack weighed something like 45 kilos. After about 2 days of carrying that monster around, I realized I was going to have to rethink my essentials and leave some things behind! Every few weeks I send a package to my friend Omar in Hong Kong full of things I've bought or decided I don't need to carry around anymore. Now my pack is much lighter, although most backpackers pack even lighter still! My packing list consists of (more or less): 5 shirts, 3 pairs of shorts/pants, 1 pair of long johns, sandals, tennis shoes, 2 pairs of socks, 8 undies, 3 bras, swimsuit, sunscreen, mosquito repellant, a silk sleepsack (for when the hostel sheets are icky), inflatable pillow, an inflatable globe (so I can daydream and plan on those long train rides), toiletries, toilet paper,...
I learned about a wonderfully simple e-mail service for travellers and used it on my last trip to Hong Kong. It worked perfectly!

Just set up your account and password with Mailstart prior to leaving (it’s free), receive your instructions and you’re ready to go. Do yourself a favour and check it out at http://www.mailstart.com I loved it!
I always take a small flashlight and extra batteries when travelling. It has saved me during a stay in an apartment when the fuse blew and I had to go down four flights in the dark to reset it. It also comes in handy when visiting museums and other dark places (caves etc.) when you can shine a little light on things. And, a flashlight is particularly good when your travelmate wants to sleep and you want to stay up and read about the sights you're going to seethe next day.
Oil of lavender - stops mosi bites hurting (almost instantanious releif). Cloves - for toothache (put the clove on the tooth and suck). Ginger (boiled in water. drink the water as you would tea) - for stomach upsets.bananas - eat a couple to stop diahorehha.papaya - eat one to stop constipation.
Travel as light as possible. Comfortable clothing in the summertime as it gets pretty hot! I'm not sure about winters but I know it gets real cold also. Bring extra battries, and digital memory as its hard to find these items locally. Make sure to bring you rown bottled water. I did not like mineral water, and I was drinking mostly soda for the four days I was there
Nearly everything you could possible want you can purchase in Tahiland. I regret spending so much before I came away, specialey on clothing, you can get it all next to nothing when you arive. If you are going to hire a bike, take burn cream with you, those burns can be pretty bad. They are called the ko Phan tatoo, because so many people have them. Other than that, a good cream to stop the itching when you get biten and Tee Tree oil. Good things to purchase as soon as you get there is some small speakers to plug into your CD, all huts have a power supply, and some snorkelling gear to see those under sea wonders.
Most airlines limit you to two bags - so do pay attention to what's going in there - and if you plan to do any touring, know that this is a tiny country, and its a seriously packed with people, and you and two unweildy bags are not going to have fun getting on and off the trains - also, most places are not 'barrier free' so expect to haul ass up many, many stairs. Summer is hot. Maybe I should tack on a few adjectives - like humid, sticky, unbearable, asphalt melting, damn hot, hot. So think breathable and quickdrying. Also - you have to take off your shoes a hundred times a day - make sure you can deal with the laces, or with the odour of being sockless after a hike through town (I usually bring a pair of socks along with me - because you never know where you'll be going - and people really stare at toe-rings)...Winter - hmm - damp, bitter howling wind, and houses that are remarkably...
take a rucksack mid sized dont worry about clothes , get em out there , in bangkok , ko san is popular , try it you can get most things from the cities, but not so much in the country take your camera for real, but get films and batteries there , cheaper you must buy tiger balm when you get there , it soothes painfull mosi bites, and you will get bitten a little
