First Aid Kit
When it comes to putting together a toiletries or first aid kit, the main items you’ve got to make sure you have are sunscreen and insect repellent. Because most of Southeast Asia is tropical, the bugs are out of control, and in some places can carry malaria and other nasty diseases. Make sure you see your doctor before you go to receive any immunizations you may need, and bring malaria tablets along with you.
