10 Essentials to pack for South-East Asia Trips

You are currently viewing 10 Essentials to pack for South-East Asia Trips

South-East Asia is probably the part of the world I’ve visited the most and somewhere I really enjoy being.

You can rely on the weather (for the most part), the food is amazing and very different country to country, just like the cultural identities, and it’s becoming easier to travel to South-East Asia from Europe every day.

Another great thing about going on holiday in Thailand, Vietnam or the Philippines, is the fact that you can definitely travel light; no thick jumpers and long trousers, just shorts, skirts and bikinis.

So what are my essentials that I bring with me, every trip?

Reef-Friendly Sunscreen

An absolute must, and sadly not that widely available in South-East Asia when travelling, is Reef-Friendly Sunscreen.
What to look out for in a sunblock is a mineral, non-nano zinc oxide formula. Protecting the reefs and the oceans is a responsibility we all share and need to be conscious of!

The insects in South-East Asia are really no joke and I always struggle to find some good sprays once I’m there. The repel line from Boots is great because it’s a DEET formula and they even have a roll-on tube.
Sometimes, if I remember, I even bring my own citronella spirals to burn by the hotel room. Absolutely worth the packing space it takes because I never see it in shops across Thailand, Vietnam or Malaysia.
