What should I pack when moving to Koh Chang?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Koh Chang to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Koh Chang, it's essential to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, as well as a swimsuit for the beach and a light jacket for cooler evenings. Don't forget a good pair of walking shoes for exploring and flip flops for the beach. Pack a high-quality sunscreen, insect repellent, and after-sun lotion, as these items can be expensive to buy locally. A hat and sunglasses will also help protect you from the sun. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack toiletries like toothpaste, shampoo, and soap, although these can also be purchased locally. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find on the island. Remember to pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Lastly, bring a good book, a camera, and any other items that will make your new home feel more comfortable and familiar," remarked another expat in Koh Chang, Thailand.
