I called Southeast Asia my home for more than a year even though the original plan was to stay there for just four months.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can’t blame me for wanting to linger a while longer there, really. Southeast Asia is a mecca of culture, amazing cuisine, and an inordinate amount of adventures. Plus, traveling and living in most countries is incredibly cheap!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re headed to Bangkok for a bit of night market-hopping, Cambodia for cultural euphoria, or the Philippines for striking beaches, my Southeast Asia packing list covers everything you’ll want to bring along for the perfect trip to one of the most alluring regions of the world!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro tip: Keep it light.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pack as light as possible. From my experience traveling Southeast Asia for over a year, a 45L backpack or a small carry on suitcase is more than enough regardless of how much time you’ll be here. Southeast Asia is hot and humid, and the majority of the clothing items you\u2019ll need will be pretty lightweight.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onto the list!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

But first, I’ll sneak in these four tips you should keep in mind when actually packing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 You\u2019ll also be sweating like crazy, so girls: Don\u2019t bother packing makeup, it will melt off your face in a jiffy!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 An upside of packing only the essentials in a carry-on is that it will save you a lot of money when it comes to moving around. There are tons of budget airlines that fly from all major destinations in Southeast Asia, but they usually charge for checked luggage. If your backpack\/suitcase is small enough, you’ll be able to carry it with you on the plane and avoid paying unnecessary fees!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 Cities like Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur are filled with malls and markets where you’ll find incredibly cheap clothes. If you feel like you\u2019re missing something on the way, rest assured that shopping malls like Palladium in Bangkok have you covered!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 As far as toiletries go, don’t overdo it. You’ll find everything you need here.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
