I take 1-2 month trips to tropical climes, and I’m rather endowed; I pack wireless (always!) unlined sports/leisure bras which can double as bikini tops.
Also found a very small (about 10 cm) clothing-clip hanger in a cheap store (many carry them). It folds flat and is perfect for hanging up sweaty understuff after a hot day, as well as minor laundry.
Hooks! Hang ’em off the top of wardrobes to hook hangers on, helps again to dry stuff.
Packing cubes? Hell, just stuff your undies &/or electronics in nylon shopping bags that fold into themselves. Cheap, space-saving and organized!
Happy trails

Those 3 countries in 6 weeks is not too ambitious I think, you’ll have a good amount of time! 🙂

You can get another 30 days at the border when reentering Thailand, which is what I’ve done in the past. But maybe check the latest rules to be sure, I think strictly speaking they may demand a return flight within the initial 15 or 30 days for your first visa on arrival. Multiple entry visa definitely gives you the most assurances.

I will be travelling to Thailand and also want to spend some time in Vietnam and Cambodia. I have six weeks available but maybe I’m being too ambitious. I worry about the UK visa requirements for Thailand as I will arrive and depart from there but not sure if I will be allowed to enter a second time even if within my 30 day visa limit. Will I need a multiple entry visa?

I do still question the need to spend Patagonia money for a rain jacket.

While I never get the cheapest products, I don’t see the need to over-pay for a brand name either. There are excellent options available from “Goldilocks” brands, like Columbia. I’m a huge fan of their high quality products sold at reasonable prices. My packable Watertight rain jacket is just about perfect, and I only paid around $50 at one of their MANY outlet stores. There really is no need to pay more if your only need is function.

I actually wasn’t sure what to suggest… this is a great idea 🙂

If I’m not camping or hiking, i bring a nail clipper (those with a nail file) in my carry on luggage. You can use it to clip small stuffs like strings, tags, and fingernails in case they split.

Side note: disposable shaving razors can go on carry on luggage too.

Me and my husband have been travelling since 2018, and we’re still using (and filling ) our 65ltr packs. We really want to reduce to just carry on packs, and have found some good 45 or 50ltr packs. We’re ok with reducing everything, but we also like to carry our Swiss Army knife, and a nail file. Not quite a first world problem, but any thoughts on how to get around this, as we can’t bring them on the plane?
