Thailand is a great country to visit and holiday in, as it is the perfect embodiment of a multicultural country. There's plenty of amazing food, great hospitality and history to discover. Here are a couple of items you need to pack for your holiday in Thailand.
The very first thing you need to pack are appropriate shoes for a lot of walking, climbing and exploring! This is because a lot of the tourist attractions, temples and prominent spaces require a bit of walking. There could be instances where you are requested to remove your shoes before entering temples and other sacred buildings – so carry a small bag with you as well. Unless you're planning on a laid back and completely relaxed holiday where you're expecting to chill by the beach or pool at a 5 star hotel in Bangkok, walking shoes are going to be crucial!
You need to remember that different countries have different power outlets, therefore, carrying with you a universal power adapter will go a long way. This is the one way to ensure that you will always have means to charge your devices. While certain hotels and restaurants may provide you with an adapter, having your own will save you from a lot of trouble!
Remember that certain Asian countries have periods of time where there is no power or electricity for a couple of hours, so a fully charged power bank is definitely going to come in handy. While the major cities are unlikely to experience power cuts, if you plan on visiting more rural villages, it Is best to take with you a fully charged power bank.
You never know when you'll need to protect your phone from water, dust, sand or even dirt while you're on your adventures in Thailand! The best part, you can still take photographs and videos while the phone is still inside of the cover. Better yet, you can also take underwater photos with a waterproof phone case! So, why miss out on the fun when you have all the risk-free options?
It doesn't matter whether you plan on staying in Bangkok or exploring other parts of Thailand, a travel backpack is a must! In fact, even if you're just going to explore the city within the vicinity of Pathumwan Princess Hotel, a backpack with all the necessary items is important. Make sure it is lightweight, can be folded and functional. Unless you're a backpacker, a smaller backpack will do wonders.
While insurance is not an exciting aspect to think of before a holiday, it is a necessity. You do not want to find yourself in a health emergency and unable to return home. While Thailand is relatively a safe country, it is best to be a safe traveller than a reckless one. Knowing that insurance will cover all possibilities is likely also going to give you peace of mind while holidaying!
