Phu-ket, We're Thailand Bound! Preparing for Asia

Ever since my newsfeed constantly had beautiful pictures of Thailand popping up, I knew that was the next big trip I wanted to take. Before I really saw tourism posts all I knew about Thailand was Stifler's dumb Bangkok joke from American Pie and that the Hangover 2 characters got into some shady stuff. After finally convincing Chris we need to go, we were booked! We booked 4 months in advance and I thought this week would NEVER come! But it's finally here! We fly out Thursday WHOPPEEE! I decided to write this for anyone wanting to plan a trip about all the preparing we've done and also our proposed itinerary for when we get there!

Things I found we needed after doing TONS of research!

-Mosquito wipes ( with DEET in them not just citronella)

-Cheap water shoes for Elephant trekking. (Walmart's shoe game has gotten much stronger)

-Sunscreen (the formula they use over there is much different then ours)

-CLOROX wipes

-toilet paper

-Shaw for covering your shoulders to see the temples

*****ALSO not all prescription medicine that is legal in the US is legal in Thailand!! Make sure you check out what you need to take if it is allowed******

Flight Hacks:

-Generally you can find cheapish flights to Bangkok if your dates are flexible! We decided to upgrade our airline to Emirates! It was only 200 dollars more and we've heard great things. We also decided to go ahead and pick our seats! We went with two seats that did not have a third one in the row to avoid the risk by being by someone smelly or a snorer. Also wifi on this airline is FREE and you get to bring TWO bags!! Even though we opted for just carry-ons since we are jumping flights so much! We also packed snacks and a paint by sticker book, downloaded "13 Reasons Why on Netflix, and got 3 books on my Kindle App, to keep my ADD mind occupied
