What should I pack when moving to Cha-am?
We asked people living in Cha-am to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Cha-am, it's essential to pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items like shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, as well as a swimsuit for the beach. Don't forget a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. Pack a good pair of walking shoes or sandals, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking. Also, consider packing a light rain jacket or umbrella, as Thailand experiences a rainy season. Bring along any prescription medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack insect repellent and sunscreen. If you plan on visiting temples, pack some modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Remember to bring all necessary travel documents, such as your passport, visa, and any necessary identification. Pack a power adapter for your electronics, as Thailand uses a different plug type than many other countries. Bring enough of your preferred toiletries to last until you can find local equivalents. Lastly, consider packing a few comfort items from home, like your favorite snacks or books, to help you settle into your new home," remarked another expat in Cha-am, Thailand.
