This is my first time ever in Southeast Asia and true to form I did A LOT of research about the weather and what to wear. And since I’m going to six countries (Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, and China) I wanted to keep things super light. The upside about hot and humid weather is that I don’t have to pack bulky winter wear. The downside? Finding clothes that are easy to clean, wick moisture well, and don’t hold onto smells.
So I just made sure that every Airbnb and hotel that I booked had a place to do laundry or laundry service. And this makes it easier to stick to a minimalist wardrobe.
Here’s the complete list of what I’m bringing. By the way, hooray for packing cubes!
