A long-awaited vacation and a trip to Thailand can put almost anyone in front of a difficult choice of what to take with them on a trip. After all, I want to take new outfits, and cosmetics, and a lot of different, seemingly useful things. But you will have to limit yourself to only the most necessary, because extra load on the road can add more hassle than joy.
The most important
First of all, it is necessary to prepare a passport, its photocopy, medical insurance, an air ticket and a plastic bank card, a printout of a return ticket, and for taxi drivers it is advisable to take with you a printout of the hotel reservation and a route map to it. In addition, a small amount of cash in euros and dollars will come in handy. All this is very convenient and safer to carry in a small purse, which is located on the stomach.
Be sure to take with you those medications that you take constantly. In addition, you may need antihistamines, iodine, activated charcoal, Biseptol, burn spray, bandage, plaster, Aspirin or Fervex, medicine for indigestion and pain relievers.
Clothes, shoes and other necessary little things
Thailand is a sunny country, so Europeans need to protect their skin from burns. High-protection sunblock creams can help prevent sunburn. To keep your eyes out of the sun, sunglasses come in handy.
In the hot climate of this country, clothing made from natural fabrics is more preferable. Take with you several T-shirts, cotton T-shirts, shorts, breeches, light trousers, a dress and a skirt, two or three swimsuits and the same number of men's swimming trunks. In case you get burned, be sure to bring a long-sleeved shirt. Of the warm things, hardly anything will come in handy, if only a light jacket for a cool evening.
From shoes, sneakers for flights and excursions in mountainous areas, beach slippers and comfortable sandals or sandals with low heels will be useful. Keep in mind that Thai temples can only be visited with closed-heel shoes, skirt or must be long, top also with long sleeves. Try to bring light-colored clothes with you, they will not be so hot in them.
From cosmetics, waterproof mascara, face toner, wet wipes, deodorant, cotton swabs and discs are useful. Mandatory toothpaste, brush, manicure set and shaving accessories for men. Towels, soaps, gels and shampoos are always available in hotels.
Accessories needed in Thailand
A camera, laptop, telephone will be useful on a trip, do not forget about the cords and power supplies for them. It is best to take a SIM card for your phone on the spot. A cord for connecting laptops and a surge protector will be useful. power surges are not uncommon in Thailand. If you are a tea lover, bring a small electric kettle with you.
You won't need umbrellas and raincoats, but insect repellent will definitely come in handy. You need to take a baseball cap or cap on your head, and panamas, hats and bandanas can fly away from strong gusts of wind.
