What and how to pack for Thailand vacation
Unless you're staying in major cities such as Bangkok, you are likely to face situations with no paved roads and small spaces to put your belongings. A backpack is the best solution for that-- we went to Thailand for 2 weeks and didn't even have to check in the luggage once! If you're planning to do a lot of shopping while there, it is much cheaper to buy a new bag to put all your new stuff into. Even if you're going during the hot season, make sure you bring something that covers your shoulders and knees. Also grab a pair of shoes with close toes. While Thais don't mind you walking into their wats (temples), they would prefer if you do so in "polite" attire. Also, bring a towel if space permits-- if your hotel does not have beach access, they're probably not going to provide beach towels. Go to your neighborhood super-mart and grab one of those 99 cents travel toilet paper rolls. Best...
