Thailand Packing List

---

I am considered an "over packer." I will bring 10 outfits, 4 pairs of shoes, and every possible toiletry on a long weekend! But I learned from my mistakes on our last trip so I think I have a fairly light packing list (though I KNOW I can get rid of some items). Special Note: Zach packed his suitcase last night and it weighs 10 kg (almost 25 pounds)... and all he packed was clothes! He put in 3 pairs of jeans, 7 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of shorts, like 7 shirts, and he is bring 3 pairs of shoes!!! I packed mine last night and it weighed 4 kg (about 10 pounds), and much of that weight was just the weight of the suitcase. I was tempted to do only carry-on but someone needs to have room for souvenirs and presents (guess it's me!)

My packing list for three weeks in Thailand:

CLOTHES
Pair of black gauchos (wear)-can dress up, wear as pajamas, etc
Pair of green khaki capris
Pair of black pants-lightweight material
*Possibly one pair of shorts, though I don't wear them very much. If anything, I will bring some cotton shorts for the beach

Blue tunic (wear)-can dress up
Brown polo
Three tank tops (wear one)-white, black, and peach-can wear as layers, for on the beach
Black shrug-can turn tank tops into appropriate shirts to wear in temples
Black zip-up hoodie (wear)-for cold nights and plane/train rides

Underwear (4 days worth)
Bra (wear)-tank tops and bathing suit can also be used
One pair of socks-I don't wear socks if possible but useful if trekking
Black bathing suit and red bathing suit
