What should I pack when moving to Khao Lak?
We asked people living in Khao Lak to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Khao Lak, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, as the weather is hot and humid. Bring a swimsuit and beach cover-up for enjoying the beautiful beaches. Pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals, as well as a pair of water shoes for exploring the rocky shorelines. Include a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella for the occasional rain shower. Don't forget to pack essential toiletries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit with band-aids, pain relievers, and any over-the-counter medications you may need. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and sunscreen to protect yourself from mosquitoes and the sun. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, as well as a reusable shopping bag for trips to local markets. Pack a travel adapter and voltage converter for your electronic devices, as Thailand uses a different voltage and plug type than many other countries. Include a small flashlight or headlamp for power outages or nighttime walks. Pack important documents, such as your passport, visa, travel insurance, and any necessary vaccination records. It's also a good idea to have photocopies of these documents in case they are lost or stolen. Bring a small amount of Thai baht for initial expenses upon arrival, as well as a credit or debit card for additional expenses. Lastly, consider packing a few items to help you feel at home in your new surroundings, such as a favorite book, photographs, or small mementos," commented one expat who made the move to Khao Lak, Thailand.
