What should I pack when moving to Coron?
We asked people living in Coron to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Coron, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include swimwear, as Coron is known for its beautiful beaches and hot springs. Don't forget to pack a good pair of sandals for beach outings and comfortable walking shoes for exploring the town. Sun protection is essential, so pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and plenty of high SPF sunscreen. Also, consider packing a lightweight rain jacket or umbrella, as sudden rain showers are common. Bring along any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and any necessary vaccinations for tropical diseases. Pack a universal power adapter for your electronics, as the Philippines uses a different plug type than many other countries. If you plan on snorkeling or diving, you may want to bring your own gear, although it can also be rented locally. Don't forget to pack your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. Lastly, pack a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and help reduce plastic waste," remarked another expat who made the move to Coron, Philippines.
