Preparing my packing list for Southeast Asia was really challenging. It may seem like an easy thing to do, but when you are going traveling for a few months to different countries without even having a fixed itinerary, you need to think seriously about what truly is important and what can stay at home. To help you decide what you need to pack, I have compiled my\u00a0packing list for Southeast Asia and some advice that will make your life easier.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just so you know, in this post I am sharing my packing list for Southeast Asia. I traveled for almost 4 months in the Philippines<\/a><\/strong>, Indonesia<\/a><\/strong>, Vietnam<\/a><\/strong>, Singapore, Thailand and Cambodia with a 60-liter backpack<\/a> (and\u00a0around 12kg weight) and a smaller one where I kept my valuables. More than enough, considering that:<\/p>\n

Everything is ready, lets go traveling!<\/p><\/div>\n

When you go\u00a0traveling to a foreign country, the most important object is not your backpack or the clothing\u00a0that may be inside, but\u00a0your passport. You can travel without everything else, but not without your\u00a0passport.<\/strong> Make sure to have a valid passport and keep it protected\u00a0with a good passport case<\/a>. It’s also a good idea to have a couple of copies of your passport stored in a different place, that way in the unfortunate event your passport is lost, it will be\u00a0easier to replace it.<\/p>\n

Another important thing is to know the entry requirements for each\u00a0country\u00a0you plan to\u00a0visit. Do you need a visa? Use a travel visa checker<\/a> well in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You should also learn about the vaccinations you might need and have your international vaccination card in order. It is important to buy a good travel insurance<\/a>. So far, I haven’t needed to use mine for which I am thankful, but you never know what could happen. Never<\/em> consider your travel insurance<\/a>\u00a0a waste of money, your health is priceless!<\/strong> World Nomads<\/a> offers great travel insurance that also protects you against theft.

\"Don't<\/a>

Light, fresh and comfortable… I love Southeast Asia fashion style!<\/p><\/div>\n

Before you start packing your favorite clothes,\u00a0keep in mind two things:<\/p>\n

1) The less you pack, the less you have to carry.\u00a0<\/strong>Minimize\u00a0and prioritize comfort over style.<\/p>\n

2) Clothes in Southeast Asia are cheap and of reasonable quality.<\/strong> Don’t bring too much from home because I guarantee you’ll end up buying more.<\/p>\n

Moreover, you will end up washing your\u00a0clothes in laundry shops and probably\u00a0some of them\u00a0will end up damaged.\u00a0I don’t\u00a0recommend bringing anything you\u00a0would be sad to lose.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regarding the kind\u00a0of clothes you need, keep in mind the weather will be\u00a0very hot and humid. Try to bring light clothing but\u00a0note that:<\/p>\n
