Thailand Packing List
1. Pashmina (women).
Thailand Packing List – A sarong or pashmina is an item you will use daily!
2. Shorts
For your daily outfits, shorts are a must. You will be walking a lot, so you need comfort and convenience. It’s hot and humid, but also a tropical climate, meaning there is always the possibility of rain, so avoid heavy fabrics that do not dry easily. Cotton, linen and soft fabrics are better options with denim shorts being ok as long as they are comfortable!
3. Umbrella
In my entire month in Thailand, I only used my umbrella once in Phuket, which tends to be of wetter climate than Koh Samui and Phi Phi.
4. Swimsuits (a lot of )
Need I say more? This country is so gorgeous you will be taking an insane amount of pictures. Make sure you take plenty of swimsuit options too! My advice would be to pack smart swimwear, that causes no funny tan lines! That cut out monokini might look cute…if you like the zebra look!
At my happiest in a bikini!
5. Thailand Packing List – Floaty Maxi Dresses (women).
The perfect evening wear for Thailand is the almighty maxi dress.
Maxis dresses are versatile, light, airy and totally elegant. Also, cute little skirts and airy tops are your second go-to nightwear!
You don’t need to pack jeans, long trousers, or skin-tight party dresses!
Thailand packing list – evening wear
6. Light shirts and t-shirts and 3/4 length trousers (Men)
Leave the long trousers and stuffy shirts at home. Think tropical, chilled vibes. Loose shirts or t-shirts are excellent and so are shorter types of trousers of lighter material!
For shoes, invest in a nice pair of leather flip flops and you are set! For everyday shoes, flip flops and trainers are more than enough!
7. Flip flops and flat sandals – No heels! (women)
The amazing thing about Thailand is that you can enter the most gourmet gorgeous restaurant or high-end club .. in flat shoes. Also, no one wears heels, apart from working girls so…
8. Trainers/hiking shoes
9. Thailand Packing List – Take Minimal Jewelry
Leave the excessive stuff at home! Real and expensive jewelry should also be avoided at risk of theft from yourself or the hotel. You may also lose things whilst snorkeling, diving, etc. So do take a minimal amount and keep it all safe in this smart, travel jewelry box!
Mellow in Yellow!
10. Waterproof Jacket or a cardigan
Because when it rains, it pours! Hard and fast, the Thai tropical rain will have you drenched and shivering in 0.5 seconds. The key here is to pack from rain protection and not for cold, as even when it’s raining, its warm.
11. Thailand packing list – Pack a small Backpack
The perfect accessory to use as a beach and everyday bag! A good and safe backpack will leave your hands-free to take photos, eat street food on the go and more. Make sure it is safe, fastens tightly and has secret compartments to hide your valuables.
Thailand packing list- its all about the accessories!
12. Camera/Go Pro
13. Travel Adapter. (or two)
14. Thailand Packing list – Medicine Bag.
I cannot stress this enough! Mosquitoes in Thailand are deadly and pack a lot of diseases. As a result, I never travel without my medicine bag!
My bag always includes medicines for seasickness (longboats and ferries can make you dizzy and nauseous), fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. I always also include insect bite cream, mosquito repellent, activated charcoal for upset and bloated stomachs (i swear by this!) and antihistamine for allergies.

15. Body and Hair oils
The humidity is no joke! Say goodbye to frizzy hair and keep your tan for longer by being super moisturized. Headbands and bandannas also help to make beach hair look tame!
16. ONE cotton-bud.
Yes, you heard me…ONE! Because plain old cotton buds are SO 2019 and should stay in the past! The world’s first plastic-free and reusable cotton swabs and I am beyond excited! Just ONE of these eco-friendly swabs replaces over 1000 cotton swabs that end up in our oceans! They come in gorgeous colors, are durable, and super easy to clean! Take the pledge today, and be a part of the revolution; of eco-friendly travelers!
