Essential items include:
Clothing: Lightweight, loose-fitting clothes in natural fabrics. Pack at least one outfit with covered shoulders and pants or a long skirt for temple visits. A light rain jacket or compact umbrella is useful year-round. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for temple exploration—surfaces are uneven and you'll remove shoes frequently.
Sun protection: High-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and quality sunglasses. The tropical sun is intense and shade at temple sites can be limited.
Health items: Insect repellent with DEET, any prescription medications with copies of prescriptions, basic first-aid supplies, and hand sanitizer. Bring enough medication for your entire trip plus extra days.
Electronics: Camera with extra memory cards and batteries, phone charger, universal power adapter. Download offline maps and translation apps before departure.
Documents: Passport (with six months validity), printed copies of travel documents, travel insurance details, and credit cards with PINs. Keep digital copies stored securely in email or cloud storage.
