Southeast Asia is my absolutely favourite part of the world to travel — I just can’t get enough of the temples in Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar. Today I’m sharing my Southeast Asia Packing list that I often use for travelling in Southeast Asia for a month or more. As well as my packing guide for women, I’m including what to take to Southeast Asia for men as well.
Remember to consider the time of year that you visit. The best time to visit South East Asia is between November and February. Once it gets into April the heat is difficult to bear. Mid May to Mid October is Monsoon season in Thailand and you will experience very heavy rains. Pack a rain jacket if you are travelling during (or at the start or end) or Monsoon season.
My top tip is to minimise denim/jeans — you really only need one pair (if that). South East Asia is really too hot and humid for jeans. They also take a long time to dry when they are washed.
