Bread Dread
Bring minimal clothes. You can get many bargain items at phuket town (not the beach areas though, .... typically about 50% dearer)

Just wear what u like most. a pair of sandals may b appropriate when u go to the beach

Good to bring some basic supplies. Not that u cant get but language barrier exists. Most Thai speak very little English.

Lots of walking ..... carry something simple. I regret taking my SLR. Plenty of photo shops so dont worry bout films, battery n processing labs

Unpredictable rain. Carry a big plastic bag, just in case. While travelling from Phuket to Hat Yai, i kept my bag in the bus luggage compartment. The bag was half soaked by the time i arrived in hat yai.

Near the beach areas, food is comparatively expensive. Buy bread and jam at one of the many sundry shops near songthaew station (marketplace) in Phuket. Budget hotels tend 2 b a bit far from shops. 7-11 convenient stores can b found at all major beach destinations

Pack it light
Just a normal backpack will do, less you're enroute to a long trip.

As Light as possible, bermudas, shorts, t-shirts, singlets, sandals....its the beach anyway.

Medical supplies like panadol , cough syrup, bandages are readily available at most convenience stores.

Easily available

    Clothes
    Take a small bag only and a empty one to bring home everything you buy

    A good pair of walking shoes and sandals is about all you will need for your feet. Cotton shorts, skirts shirts is all you will need.

    Make sure that you pack all your Medical supplies with you, they may not be avalable

    Take all your film with you as its a bit espensive to buy there but developing is pretty cheap.

    Towell is about all you will need here on the beach.

    I found that because of the humidity i sweated a lot between the legs, one way to solve this was to buy a pair (severel pairs) of fisherman trousers made of cotton and not wear any jocks, worked for me.

    only necessities
    an empty suitcase

    what you have on at the airport, and your own undies.

    all personal products are expensive in thailand so bring your own, and alot of sunscreen for the day and insect repellant for night.

    camera and heaps of film, or memory cards.

    duty free bourbon, thai bourbon isn't the nicest.

    Basics
    depending on how long you stay, but actually one doesn't need much there !!!

    light clothes! even in the rainy season it's hot and humid!!!

    probabaly bring sth. against stomach problems, you'll never know ... SUNSCREEN !!!!

    Get hold of or bring a water-proof underwater camera, you can take really cool pics in the sea or even the pool then !!!
