Packing Tips for Your Lao travel
Packing Tips for Your Lao travelNow that you have done your travel plan. You have your itinerary, and you paid for your air ticket. The travel day is coming closer and you count the day until you get on that airplane.
The only thing to left is packing your bag. Before you do that it's a good idea to list all the necessary things you need to take so that you don't forget. With weigh constrain in mind, make two lists and tick each item off as you go.Here are the lists.
Necessary/essential items
Passport. Put your passport in your hand bag or in money pouch and keep it with you at all times.
Air ticket. The air ticket should be in the same place as the passport. It is easy to take them out from one place at check-in counter.
Traveler check or credit card and some cash. Keep your traveler check and passport separated from your cash. It helps to carry some small notes when you need to buy things like bottled water and snacks during your journey. Put cash in money pouch preferably in different section from the passport and the ticket. This helps avoid messing up with it unnecessary when you take out the passport and the ticket.
Your medicines (if you're on medication). Keep your medicines in their original packages and put them in your hand bag where it is easily accessible whenever you need it.
Toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss. Teeth are the road to wellbeing. They need to stay hygienic and healthy. Some upper market hotels provide toothbrush and toothpaste but it's best to take your own.
Shampoo. Most hotels provide shampoo, but I would avoid changing from my regular shampoo as it can cause hair loss.
Sun Cream. In Laos the sun is always shining and it can be very strong especially during March-May, so it is necessary to wear sun cream to prevent sun burn.
Shades. When the sun arrives you need sunglasses or a hat/cap. They shield your eyes, make sure you look decent at all times and are appropriate for all places.
Underpants. If you travel for a long period make sure you take enough (at least one clean underpants per day) for a certain period of time until you get a chance to wash them or get them washed. They contribute to healthy living.
Pack a reasonable number of clothes. Though light clothing is recommended, you should pack some thicker clothes as well (a light jacket and pair of jeans) if you plan to visit provinces in northern Laos during November-February. Laundry service is available in areas where tourists frequent and it's cheap.
Useful Items
Books. Books are good for time killing. Break tedious extended journeys up by reading a junk of books. Any book will do, but those you enjoy reading will do a better job.
Hair dryer. You can go by without one, but if you have some space left after putting everything in the bag, then it is useful to throw in this extra item. It is a good practice to blow-dry your hair every time after washing it. It makes your hair look better, smell fresh longer and healthier.
A nail clipper. Nails grow long and sometimes can break. It can hurt to tear broken nails. The nail clipper is just a small item that doesn't take much room at all, but it is very useful at times like this.
A pair of flip flop. For long journey especially if it involves walking, it is nice to change to different foot wares once in a while to put the feet at ease. Flip flops are good alternative. Again you can go by with out them, you can buy some in Laos and they are cheaply available, but it's always nice to have everything ready for use whenever you need them.
Mosquito repellent. In tropical countries dengue fever caused by mosquitoes is common so apply/spray mosquito repellent when you spend time outdoor to prevent mosquito bite.
Antibacterial ointment. You will want it for all sorts of events. Tropical infections kill even from small cuts.
