22 Things To Bring To Koh Samui by Suzie Adnan

Hey superstars! (or should I say Sawadekap!) ...I might not be joining the Koh Samui roadtrip, but here's a checklist of neccessities to bring - which, I made especially for you guys. Have fun, be safe, XOXO!

1. Passport.

2. Tickets or booking reference numbers; airport transfers and transportations. (Put away some extra cash for that!)

3. Money (changed in Baht) & credit card.

Current currency shows RM10 equals to 102 Baht. Don’t complicate your head and keep in mind: 100 Baht = RM10.

4. Mobile phone & charger. Top-up extra credit!

5. Bring camera, the batteries & extra memory cards if possible.

6. Make sure luggage easy to identify. Put tags or tie a ribbon.

7. To kill time during long journey, bring card games (Yes, Jack – I’m referring this to you)… and books, to those who wants to pull that ‘travel-in-style’ look. And of course, iPod/MP3 …whatever you kids nowadays are calling it.

8. Panadol, minyak angin etc. Like how Min likes to put it, “Shit happens.” …and Jaja, bring your inhaler EVERYWHERE you go.

9. Sun screen SPF 35++ …unless you opt for tanned bikini line. Which can be cool.

10. Super cool shades… Wayfarers and all.

11. Toothbrush & toothpaste. Do you realize, nowadays very rarely hotels provide toothpaste???

12. Facial wash & moisturizers to sooth away the sun burn. Basic makeup kit & sanitary pads for girls.

13. A small bottle of shampoo. Trust me, this is very important.

14. Pack up your bikinis & speedos… ;)

15. Undies – enough for 5 days!

16. SSFF = “Sacred Suzzee Fashion Formula”. Do the maths!

“5 days, 4 nights” means 9 looks all together… 5 easy pieces for the day; and 4 cozy clothes (like sweatshirt plus scarves) for chilly nights!

Wearing the same jeans or shorts several times is forgivable. But reusing foul smelling, sweaty t-shirts? A definite no-no.

Cover your head from the sun! Either floppy hat, fisherman hat, scarves etc. But please, in the photos I dare to see any kind of baseball cap visible.

One of the clothes should be a bit dressier. Maybe there’s a hip club or a fine dining restaurant with a dress code. Get wasted with enormous amout of glam and style.

…all wrinkle-free please.

17. A small towel - for wet emergencies and hygiene reasons.

18. Flip flops for the beach & comfortable shoes preferrably sneakers for the Amazing-Race-scene-like journey.

19. Plastic bags to stash away worn clothes.

20. Bring extra shoulder bag (big & easy-to-fold), in case you guys over-shopped.

21. Remember to put aside 500 Baht (RM50) for airport tax. Just so you know, I don’t know how to wire money to international banks.

22. Last but not least, a souvenir for me ;) …and Mean Min!
