"When moving to Bangkok, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid climate. Bring a few items of clothing that are suitable for more formal occasions, such as a dinner or a business meeting. Bring a few items of clothing that are suitable for more casual occasions, such as a night out or a day at the beach. Pack a few items of clothing that are suitable for the rainy season, such as a raincoat and waterproof shoes. Bring a few items of clothing that are suitable for the cooler months, such as a light jacket or sweater. Pack a few items of personal hygiene, such as shampoo, soap, and toothpaste. Bring a few items of entertainment, such as books, music, and movies. Pack a few items of comfort, such as a pillow, blanket, and favorite stuffed animal. Bring a few items of convenience, such as a power adapter, a flashlight, and a first-aid kit. Finally, pack a few items of cultural significance, such as a Thai phrasebook and a guidebook to Bangkok," commented one expat who made the move to Bangkok, Thailand.
