What should I pack when moving to Ayutthaya?
We asked people living in Ayutthaya to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Ayutthaya, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, such as cotton or linen, to stay comfortable in the hot and humid climate. Make sure to include a mix of short-sleeved shirts, long-sleeved shirts, shorts, and long pants to accommodate various activities and dress codes. Bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings and air-conditioned spaces. Pack comfortable and sturdy footwear, including walking shoes, sandals, and flip-flops, as you will likely be exploring the city and its historical sites on foot. Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring essential toiletries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and any personal care items you use daily. It's also a good idea to pack a small first aid kit with band-aids, pain relievers, and any necessary prescription medications. Make sure to pack important documents, such as your passport, visa, travel insurance, and any other identification or paperwork you may need while living in Thailand. It's also helpful to have photocopies of these documents in case of loss or theft. Pack a power adapter and voltage converter, as Thailand uses a different electrical system than many other countries. You'll also want to bring any electronic devices you use daily, such as your smartphone, laptop, and chargers. Bring some cash in Thai baht for immediate expenses upon arrival, as well as a debit or credit card that works internationally. It's also a good idea to have a small amount of cash in your home currency in case of emergencies. Lastly, consider packing a few personal items that remind you of home, such as photos, small decorations, or favorite snacks, to help make your new living space in Ayutthaya feel more comfortable and familiar," said another expat in Ayutthaya, Thailand.
