Southeast Asia Packing Checklist

Everything for three months of heat, humidity, and long bus rides. Lightweight quick-dry clothing, a solid rain shell for monsoon season, a universal power adapter, water purification tablets, a lightweight sleeping sheet for questionable guesthouses, and a dry bag for boat crossings between islands. Skip the heavy boots; sandals and one pair of trail runners cover nearly everything from Hanoi to the Perhentian Islands.
