How to pack for 3 weeks in thailand
HOW TO PACK FOR THAILAND | 3 Weeks in Southeast Asia
Timecodes:
what is up guys I'm currently sitting
among my clothes because I want to do a
packing video for you guys today and if
you haven't seen my channel and this is
the first time that you guys are
stumbling upon my video my name is Laura
Reed I make travel lifestyle fashion
type content on here and I want to do a
video because those of you who have been
around a while know that I do go to
Southeast Asia
quite a bit and I'm actually leaving
tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow for
Asia and I'm going to Thailand I'm
spending two and a half weeks there and
I feel like for me I've gotten to the
point where I can just pack and it
doesn't really take me much thought I
feel like I know exactly what I need to
bring um the stuff that I'll need versus
not what kind of toiletries I'll need
medicine all that jazz and I know you
guys like these informational type
videos so I thought I would share my
information on that with you without
further ado let's see it so first we are
going to start off with bathing suits so
I am bringing one two three four five
six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 desire
to count that I don't know and yes that
is a lot of bathing suits I don't think
going for a few weeks if you're just
traveling for fun not really going to be
taking photos that you need to bring
twelve bathing suits because I do like
to have different bikinis that I can
shoot in I do bring more than the
average person usually I would recommend
so say for a three week Asia trip I
probably recommend maybe like seven or
eight I mean that's even a lot maybe for
some people
[Music]
next up we've arrived at my shirt
section which you can't see so this
shirt section and which shirts I like to
bring a lot of little t-shirts that kind
of look like this my favorite things to
bring are crop tops and then I have a
bodysuit which is nice because you can
wear when you're going out as well these
shirts are really good as well they're
kind of like the other ones but a little
less formal and they're great for when
you're just sweating a lot and need a
light shirt and I actually got these
over in Asia they have them everywhere
the same place you can buy the elephant
pants and then I also like to bring
shirts that have sleeves as well because
one thing if you're going to temples or
any religious sites you will need to
have your shoulders and knees covered so
that is something to keep in mind next
time I bring like a combination of sleep
slash workout shirts and so I like to
bring versatile shirts that I can sleep
in but also if I for some reason decide
to a workout in the gym while I'm over
there usually I work out by the pool or
something because it's just so hot these
little tank tops that look like this are
really good for that so I'll usually
bring about three or four night shirts /
like a workout shirts and then I like to
bring t-shirts as well because when
you're going from place to place on a
plane it's kind of nice just to have a
loose t-shirt to wear with leggings I
also just have another t-shirt as well
that says nope on it a cropped t-shirt I
got from char gal looks like this and I
can wear this if I just I'm worried
about my shoulders burning if I'm on the
motorbike I guess I'll do pajamas
because I kind of talked about sleek
shirts but I just bring these like light
comfy shorts to sleep in that look like
this and then I'll also bring these
shorts I'm also good for the plane if
you're just going on like a quick plane
ride and you don't want to put on a full
pants because it's kind of hot but you
can also sleep in these too so it is
really good to bring versatile clothing
that you can wear if you want to work
out you could sleep and you can go in
the plane with because you want to try
and bring as little as possible you
don't want to make your bag too heavy
because you do have to haul it around
quite a bit especially in Thailand
you're often going on small planes and
then boats and then like a small car or
something like that or even a scooter
I usually will bring like a pair of
really light comfy sweatpants for when
I'm just in the hotel room hanging out
this pair actually got from Urban
Outfitters I bought another pair of
these today I often will bring just like
long t-shirt dresses because these are
really good Beach cover-ups as well and
then you can sleep in them also if you
need fruit jean shorts I'll usually
bring about two or three pairs of jean
shorts these ones are my favorite ones
from rolla's jeans and then I also have
these Levi's um that look like this
they're pretty loose and a bit longer
I'll usually wear them before going out
kind of in Thailand to one of like the
beach bars because it still it feels
casual and it's comfortable and I love
jean shorts moving on to the intimate
Department I personally like to bring as
much underwear as I possibly can I find
myself whenever I see underwear on sale
I'll just pick up a whole pairs the
whole a whole bunch of pairs because
basically if you run out of underwear
you are screwed and then you have to do
laundry whereas if you have a whole
bunch of pairs you never have to do
laundry and if you need a dress or
something that's dirty you can just
rinse it in the sink lay it out for an
hour it's so warm there that it just
dries instantly whereas you don't really
want to be like scrubbing your underwear
in the sink that does not sound like a
fun or appealing activity yeah anyways
so I will bring basically all the
underwear that I own which I'm gonna
count right now how many pairs of it
okay so I have 26 pairs of just like the
underwear I wear like every day during
the day which is just like thongs
probably to you buy but that's fine it's
good to have at least a pair of
underwear for every single day but I
always recommend having more because you
do sweat a lot in Asia and usually I'll
just change my whole entire outfit from
the morning to the night
that's for like bras I usually bring
like a little also if there's men still
watching this I apologize um so you
should just bring a little sports bras
like this I also have just a lot of like
bra let's that type of thing I'll bring
one strapless bra one just regular bra a
few sports bras I actually have these
two ones from Lululemon that I'm
bringing next we have all of my dresses
and longer pants and skirts I have five
dresses three skirts then I have three
pairs of pants I have a little sarong
thing
and yeah that's basically it and that is
probably the part that that I bring more
than the average person in like the
fancier dress section because if you're
going for a few weeks you really don't
need that fancy of clothes especially in
Asia everyone dresses very casually the
only time you might need something a
little bit fancier for example is if you
go to these Sky bars in Bangkok it is
kind of nice to wear something a little
nicer or if you're staying not such a
resort and for nice dinners and that
sort of thing or just take it nice
Instagram photos I know some of you guys
are creators that watch my videos and it
is kind of nice to have like a fun
little dress to like put around them
I don't know what that was but moving on
to what I think is probably the most
useful information for you guys and that
is toiletries so actually just went and
bought all new medicine all little
different toiletries that I would need
for the trip obviously your standard
toiletries like toothpaste face wash a
little bit of makeup
you really don't wear that much makeup
when you're over there or at least in my
opinion but because it is so warm you're
kind of just sweating it off usually the
only time I will wear it is out at night
and we're going for dinner to like a bar
out of drinks and other than that I
really yeah it's just too hot and it
just sweats off and my face sweats so
much I I really wish I was the type of
person we didn't have a slight face but
that's just the first place I sweat when
I get hot even right now I feel like I
have mustache sweat anyways I do want to
show you guys the stuff that I picked up
medicine because if possible it's best
to just not have to buy medicine over
there so I do like to bring all of my
precautionary medicine for anything that
could possibly go wrong which might seem
like overkill but there's been a few
times when I've had things go wrong well
I've been over there and you'll usually
spend an entire day at the hospital most
places because they don't really have
like just random walking
I mean some places do but a lot of times
you do have to go to the hospital and
then you have to try and go get find the
prescription somewhere and it's it's
just not fun there's so many useful
things that I thought I'm gonna actually
start before we get into the medicine is
these Air Canada
I got a universal travel adapter which
you will need while you're over there
and then also a travel three dial combo
lock because it is kind of nice to be
able to lock up your bag especially when
you're going on boats from one island to
the other your banks just kind of
sitting there or sometimes with my room
if I have a bunch of camera equipment
and there's not enough room in the state
for it I'll just lock it in my suitcase
and then it's just like safer you don't
worry about it - the next thing that I
would recommend buying before you go
over there is sunscreen and because
unfortunately they charge like triple
the price for sunscreen because they
know the only people that are buying it
are tourists just go over there with
what you need usually I'll just buy one
of these spray cans because it's easier
than having to rub it in to your body
when you're on a boat versus just
springg quick easy and also buy one for
my face I also have some vitamin C I'm
not gonna bring it but just stock up
your vitamin C before you leave get your
immune system up you don't want to get
sick while you're over there so take
your daily vitamins folks also - these
are the gummies um which makes eating it
so much more delicious because I cannot
stand orange flavored medicine when it's
in that chewy chakra form ever since I
was little gravel which I forget what
they call in the States but in Canada
well actually I bought the knockoff one
is called anti nausea medication die and
then Hydra night tablets this is like in
the knockoff what we call gravel in
Canada
this I remember the stage once I tried
to look in for a ball they're like I
have no idea what that is so let me know
what's call in the states but basically
if you have an upset stomach it will
help soothe that I really like to take
this um plenty time I'm on long car
rides they're in a really bumpy boat
ride I also buy two different types so I
buy a non-drowsy one and then a drowsy
one for plans I made me buy this for
these sleepy factors from hobble got
some wine
pop one of these and I am just I would
like a light allergy medication if you
guys have allergies bracelet benadryl
it's always just to be better safe than
sorry when it comes to the allergy
department in my opinion and oh this one
is a good one
just buy some imodium you're gonna thank
me now no you're gonna thank me later
when you start exploding also to you my
this video is just me being just weird
okay so ammonium is really great for
rapid relief of diarrhea and
unfortunately it's just the nature of
things when you go to Asia
sometimes you need bad street food some
of the water that's the vegetables were
clean with I think good and let me just
say you'll be happy you have this also
by little travel-size things so this is
just a volume hairspray that looks like
this usually I'll bring a curling wand
with me one that has dual voltage just
like my regular curling wand that I use
here and I'll use it on a bit of a lower
heat setting just to not mess anything
up I don't really bring a straightener
I really don't straighten my hair too
much um what I blow-dry it kind of works
that way you guys are staying at a kind
of like semi decent place usually they
have hair dryers even hospitals will
have hair dryers you guys don't have to
worry about that too much as for
precautionary medicine you can go to
your doctor and ask them to give you a
prescription for anything that might go
wrong such as splatter infections or
yeast infections or anything like that
with East infections you can just go and
get it over the counter
and I often bring this some Advil cold
and flu what else here I think that's
basically it for like the precautionary
medicine that I bring and then as for
bag so obviously have my suitcase I have
my drone backpack that kind of carries
all my camera my laptop
whatnot I also like to bring a smaller
backpack that looks like this that I can
stick my camera in for day trips and
that looks a bit trickier so if I want
to bring it out about in town or
whatever and don't want to bring a big
heavy kind of ugly backpack and this one
is still cute and convenient as for
shoes I've come out into my main home
area so usually I will bring one pair of
flip-flops often bring around two pairs
of slides that just look like this and
are a bit fancier because oftentimes
you're going from the beach to the road
and it's nice to have sandals that you
can slip on and off but still look nice
so you could wear them to like a nice
dinner or something like that and then
I'll bring a pair of gladiator sandals
that look something like this that are
attached to my foot so if you're going
on a motorbike or somewhere that's a lot
of walking and you like to have a shoe
attached to your foot
it also looks kind of fancy too so you
can wear that with a cute dress and if
you look like a star there's a ton of
stores you can actually buy shoes when
you're over there so there's really
nothing too much just stress about
because anything that you need to buy
you can kind of get while you're over
there I often like to leave a little bit
of room in my suitcase to buy some
dresses and cute shirts over there
because Thailand does have a ton of
great markets and that is it for my
packing video for Thailand if you guys
have any questions at all definitely
make sure to leave them down below I
hope you guys enjoyed watching this
