Cothing for Thailand

[mackie!!!]

Just wanted to know what would be the best clothing to take.Im going there for two months in October.

I will be backpacking so dont want to take to much.Would it be easyer to buy out there?

Hi there Mackie, my sister went out to Thailand last September (she's now in Sydney) When she packed her rucksack it was only with the bare essentials, underwear, deodrant/washbag, couple of tops, training bottoms etc. She even sent some stuff home after a couple of weeks! Everything is cheap out there and obviously you're not gonna be aiming high in the fashion stakes! Have a marvellous time, she did (and still is!)

It does start to get into the wet season at the end of september especially in the north.So,if you plan to go treking you needs some good boots.Its got great street stalls and clothes markets that are cheap and cheerful so buy there.Take a first aid kit as well m8.ave a great adventure,i did.

I am a Thailand regular. I take the clothes that I am wearing and that is all. I buy a suitecase over there for ****** all and the clothes are so cheap, you will feel bad paying so little for them. Quality of stuff is pretty good despite the rumours.

Ah thank you guys (",) its nice to get an idea.

Hope you both have a nice summer

Ah get on!! Am really looking forward to it.Im going to europe for a month before then after Thailand im off to Australia,Newzealand Fiji and Canada.

Im trying to not over pack as everything i take is gonna be on my back.Thank you for all your help.

Get good boots and walking sandals here before you go and wear them in. (Also think about socks for boots)

Sorry if you've already thought about this.

Have a good time and take care :)

Just a thought Mackie, if you're gonna be away for a while you might want to look at www.myworldjournal.co.uk where you can purchase a journal that all your friends and family can read your updates and see your photos. I got my sis one as a going away pressie and it's a fab way of following her travels. Think it cost about �30 ish for the year.

I think that is a brilliant idea.Sta travel also have the same kind of thing.As ive booked my flights with them i can use there blog for free.

Its a really good way to keep in touch.If i dont have enough time to e-mail every one i can put my blog on there and everyone can see.Thanks again for the tip (",)
