You can get almost anything here. Just bring money and your basic needs and that's it.

Hi there,

After, everything's cheaper there !!

Ps : i lived in Melbourne fora while ... it's also a beautiful city !!

Shoes, underwear, socks.  All very bad material in Thailand.  As a woman you'll probably find shoes you like, as a man with size 11, the quality is horrible and size hard to find.  There are mainstream stores like Bata etc but they are just as expensive as back home and have less of a selection.

Socks and underwear, no kidding, pack extra...   Very bad quality.

What To Bring
Vaccinations vary from country to country.  You should consult with your local doctor before travelling.
If on medication, you should have ample supply, it may be very difficult to purchase in Asia.
Suitable clothing for participation, Asia is a conservative continent.  When visiting religious site, you have to cover up. Volunteering in school, no see through clothing & low cut tops or very short shorts.
Suitcase or backpack.  As the saying goes, what you bring is what you carry.  Travel light.
Passport & photocopies (keep separate),  passport photos x4
Visa (if required); check the Embassy website for details.
International adapter
Camera
Mosquito repellant
Sun Cream
Photos of your family & friends
Flashlight
Mosquito net  (not always required)
Spending money for souvenirs (you can obtain money in most country at the ATM), but always good to bring a small amount with you.  As sometimes your ATM will be blocked by your bank, So make sure you let the bank know that you will be using your card at oversea then your card will be not blocked.

Most of the above things in your list can easily be purchased here or are unnecessary.

Bring photos of your friends and family in your phone.

A mosquito net is not needed in most places, including Bangkok.

Mosquito repellent - definitely not needed in many places.

Sun cream - if you're going to the beach or going to spend quite a bit of time outside, buy it here.

Go to quality stores and you'll find name brands and the quality is fine. Buy them from Mom and Pop shops or at Tesco Lotus and you get what you pay for.

Dear all,

We've lived here for a couple years. You can buy almost everything here! I'd come with less, makes for easy travel later on and more space for souvenir collecting. Unless you are freakishly tall or something you can just come with the necessities

May i know the name of the condo
