Take a HUGE suitcase and big carry-on bag

by Ally_Bally

Pack light because chances are you will get heaps more stuff over there. Pack shorts, light shirts and skirts for the cooler days. Pack something for the cold wether because sometimes the temperatures drops dramaticaly. You can buy Havaianas over there for really cheap. i came back with 6 pairs so dont take any thongs. Your hotel will supply you with shampoo, conditioner and soap and other nessacary toiletries. Take any medical supplies and if your worried about taking medicine, ask your doctor about printing of a medical certificat. Camera is nessacery! Didgital camera's are better because you take heaps of pictures. Waterproof cameras are better if you go in toures because you go in the water. I can't imagine you going camping or that stuff in Thialand. But there beaches are beautiful! Take 1 pair of swimmwers coz you will buy more over there. Take sunscreen and aloe vera gell and...

Packing for Thailand

by earthflyer

One small case and one day pack, thats all you need, just fill them up with essentials. Thailand is a great place for shopping and is cheap they also have plenty of pharmecy shops so you can get all your personal items there as well, just like back home. Thailand is home from home.Keep cameras in day pack unless you have seperate bag.

Pack light

by myshell...

Take into account that the weather in Thailand is generally very hot and humid, try to wear light clothes that don't attract any unwanted heat.. Remember that in places like Phuket its VERY hot so if your thinking about doing your own laundry, its a cheap alternative and means you can pack light, as you will definately be bringing back alot of souviners

Coral cuts are awful, protect your feet.

by GitaP

Strong canvas shoes to walk over coral is a must.If you're prone to sunburn, carry a thin long sleeved cotton shirt. Thai pharmacies are very helpful but communication may be a problem. I have a standard medical kit that includes imodium, antiseptic cream, throat lozenges, a broad spectrum antibiotic and the usual paraphenalia for cuts etc. Also bring your spectacle prescription along and make spare pairs fro enxt to nothing. In humid environments, ensure that your camera case is completely waterproof

Adapters for electrical items

by pinkduck

Always pack an adaptor for your electrical items to be charged (mobile phone, camera, lap top, shaver, toothbrush and so on. -- it is a good idea to also take a power board from your country so that you can charge more than one item at a time. The adapater plugs into the wall and the power board plugs into that giving you 4 (or 6) outlets) Remember to leave your charging for a long as you can as the electricity current is so much lower than Australia and possibly other countries.

Ultra compact mosquito net/dome

by seagypsy

REI.com sells an ultra compact mosquito net that forms a dome over your head and the netting runs the length of your body. I've packed if for nearly 20 years of travel and it's a god-send for the occasional time when the blood suckers are after you in a room that doesn't block these pests. There is a good local brand in SEA called Sketelone and as previously mentioned, some pharmacies and even some 7-11s sell them.However, I've been travelling with the same mosquito net dome for nearly 20 years and I got it from REI (Recreational Equipment Inc.?) a long time ago. But they still sell one similar to the original one I got and it's called the Bug Hut 1 (bottom of the website I've linked: http://www.rei.com/search?search=mosquito+net ).It forms a mosquito net dome on the upper half of your body and the netting runs the length of your body. The older model was only less than an inch in...

Recycle and Re-use

by lindyz

When I travel, I tend to pack a bit differently to most people. For the months before I leave, I start putting aside old clothes that I will take away, wear and then throw away or give to the people that clean our room usually. The room cleaners are usually quite over the moon at getting stuff for free, even though it is second-hand, they still love it! I feel I am doing my bit by recycling my stuff. About 3/4 of the clothes I take to a country stays there, making more room to buy new stuff. I dont like to do a lot of washing of clothes while on holidays, so this packing method works well for me!! I also dont usually buy a lot of clothes for myself while on holidays in Asia, mainly due to their sizing! In Australia, I am anything from a size 10 to a size 14, however when in Asia, I am usually an XXL!!!!!! Im not sure I like being told that they have nothing BIG enough to fit me!!

Get ready to sweat!

by Easton13

Last year, I went on a 6 week tour in Thailand in the months of June and July. ( what was supposed to be the rainy season - ya right!) I went out to MEC and bought a 45L packpack that was fit for my body, and I was set. ( I am a 22 year old girl, and I probably could have gotten away with a lot less in my bag) If you would like to do shopping while you are there, leave a little bit extra space in your backpack before you go, just so that you don't have to immediately purchase another bag to be hauling around. And once you are about to go home, thats when you should purchase a second bag to start filling with all the wonderful treasures you are wanting to take home with you. ( A nice suitcase with wheels is usually around $20-$30 Can.) In terms of shoes, all I packed was a nice comfortable pair of UnderArmour flipflops, which got me through 95% of my trip. Most of the people I went with...
