South East Asia Packing List


With just one day to go until we leave, we thought it was probably time to finalise our packing (our rucksacks have been semi-packed and left chucked in the hallway for the past few weeks now) and write a blog post about what we've got packed.


Callum's stuff - excuse the blurry picture, I was being held up by my knees by Callum to get everything in shot.
Callum's Stuff

  • Underwear x6
  • Socks x8
  • T-shirts x6 
  • Vests x2
  • Shirt x1
  • Long sleeve top x1
  • Jeans x1
  • Shorts x3
  • Swimming shorts x2
  • Smart shoes - For certain bars that have dress codes.
  • Nike trainers 
  • Havaianas flip flops 
  • Baseball cap
  • Ray Ban sunglasses
Useful bits
  • Microfibre travel towel - Quick drying and doesn't take up a lot of space.
  • Mosquito net - To prevent being bitten at night.
  • Sleeping bag liner - In case we don't like the look of hostel bedding.
  • Travel pillow - To make long plane, bus and train journeys slightly more bearable.
  • Eye mask
  • Ear plugs (meant to arrive before we left but didn't)
  • Dry bag - To protect electicals in rain! Especially as we'll be in certain countries in monsoon season.
Medical and Toiletries
  • Toilet roll - You never know when you're gonna need it!
  • Cleansing wipes 
  • First aid kit - Filled with every medicine under the sun.
  • Deodorant cans x2
  • Toothpaste
  • Travel toothbrush - Little fold up ones so the top doesn't get dirty.
  • Hard shampoo - From LUSH. They save a lot of space and last ages.
  • Hard soap 
  • Doxycycline malaria tablets - We got ours from Superdrug as we found them to be the best value.
  • Fabric wash
  • Insect repellent spray x2
  • Suncream x4 
  • Aftersun x2
Electricals
My stuff! Again, sorry for the blurry image!

  • New Balance trainers
  • Underwear x7
  • Socks x7
  • Scarfs x2

Useful Bits
Medical and Toiletries 
Electrical 
  • Kindle paperwhite - Before leaving I downloaded a load of new books to keep me busy over the next few months. Definitely beats lugging book after book around with you.
