"When moving to Krabi, it's essential to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, as well as a light rain jacket for the rainy season. Don't forget your swimwear, as Krabi is known for its beautiful beaches and water activities. Pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city and flip flops for the beach. It's also a good idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. In terms of toiletries, while you can buy most things in Krabi, you might want to pack specific brands of personal care items, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies. Don't forget your prescription medications, and it's also a good idea to bring a basic first aid kit. If you plan on visiting temples, pack some modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. For electronics, remember to bring a power adapter suitable for Thailand. If you plan on working or staying connected, don't forget your laptop, smartphone, and chargers. Lastly, pack copies of important documents such as your passport, visa, and travel insurance. It's also a good idea to have some Thai Baht on hand for when you first arrive," remarked another expat in Krabi, Thailand.
