An Expat Talks about Moving to Phuket, Thailand

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Phuket

Name three things that you wish you had brought and three you wish you had left at home.

When moving to Phuket, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid climate. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a mosquito net and insect repellent to protect yourself from mosquitoes. Pack a first aid kit with basic medical supplies. Bring a few items of clothing that are appropriate for more formal occasions, such as a dinner or a business meeting. Bring a few books or magazines to help you pass the time. Finally, bring a few items that will remind you of home, such as photos or mementos.
