Quick answers
Are these affiliate links?
Not yet — we've applied to both programs and are waiting for approval. We'll add tracking links as soon as we're accepted, at no extra cost to you.
What size backpack for Thailand?
40 liters is the sweet spot — fits airline carry-on limits and holds 1–2 weeks of tropical clothes with packing cubes.
Are packing cubes worth it?
Yes. They compress clothes, separate clean from worn, and make repacking take minutes instead of half an hour.
Backpack or suitcase?
Backpack for island hopping and uneven streets; suitcase only if you're staying in one city with smooth sidewalks.
