What to Pack When Backpacking and Traveling the World?
​
Whether you’re planning your first backpacking adventure through Thailand or a long-term journey through Southeast Asia, packing the right gear can make all the difference. After surviving 8 months in Southeast Asia with just a 55L backpack each, we've learned how to pack light and smart; without sacrificing any of the essentials. From navigating busy streets in Bangkok to hiking through the jungles of Borneo, our packing list covers multiple climates and destinations.
​
When it comes to travelling around the world or just backpacking through Thailand, the trick is to prioritise essentials and avoid overpacking. We’ve discovered that the most common mistake new travellers make is bringing too many things. But with careful planning and the right packing list for backpacking, you can travel comfortably without hauling around unnecessary items.
