Clothes to bring
Don't forget - you will fly to a warm country, so bring just a few light clothes.
One long shirt, or even a light jacket, one pair long throusers and some solid shoes, which you maybe wearing during the flight already, are generally enough.
Because, here in Thailand you can buy everywhere shirts, short-pants, sarongs, skirts, slippers, etc., which are very cheap available. Nice as a souvenir, too.
