What should I pack when moving to Palawan Island?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Palawan Island, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses, due to the tropical climate. Bring a swimsuit and beach cover-up for enjoying the beautiful beaches and water activities. Pack a light rain jacket or umbrella for the occasional rain shower, as well as a hat and sunglasses for sun protection. Don't forget comfortable walking shoes or sandals, and a pair of water shoes for exploring the rocky shorelines. Make sure to bring essential toiletries, including sunscreen with high SPF, insect repellent, and any necessary prescription medications. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit with band-aids, pain relievers, and any over-the-counter medications you may need. Bring important documents, such as your passport, visa, and any necessary travel insurance information. It's also helpful to have photocopies of these documents in case of loss or theft. If you plan on working or studying in Palawan, bring any required paperwork or certifications. Pack a power adapter for your electronic devices, as the Philippines uses a different plug type than many other countries. You may also want to bring a portable charger for your phone, as power outages can be common in some areas. Bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, as tap water is not always safe to drink. You may also want to pack some non-perishable snacks for your journey and any initial days of settling in. Lastly, consider bringing a few personal items to make your new home feel more comfortable, such as photos, small decorations, or a favorite book. Remember to leave some space in your luggage for any souvenirs or local items you may want to purchase during your stay in Palawan," commented one expat who made the move to Palawan Island, Philippines.
