What should I pack when moving to Playa Blanca?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Playa Blanca to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Playa Blanca, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, and light dresses. A swimsuit is essential for enjoying the beautiful beaches, and don't forget a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. You should also pack a light rain jacket or umbrella, as Panama has a rainy season. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as sandals or flip flops for the beach. Remember to pack your personal toiletries, although most items can be purchased locally. If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last for your first few months. Pack a Spanish-English dictionary or phrasebook, as not everyone in Panama speaks English. Also, bring important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. If you plan on cooking, you might want to pack some of your favorite spices or condiments, as they may not be available in Panama. Lastly, don't forget to pack your electronics, such as your phone, laptop, and chargers. An adapter might be necessary as Panama uses type A and B plugs. Remember, it's always better to pack light and buy what you need locally, as this supports the local economy and can be a fun way to explore your new home," said another expat in Playa Blanca, Panama.
