Question for current DTV holders  , when packing to leave what are the must haves and have not to pack ? One love ♥️ welcome any guidance x

Answer summary

Current holders of a DTV visa are seeking advice on what to pack before leaving Thailand. Suggestions include bringing personal care items like deodorant and cold medications, as they may be hard to find or expensive abroad. Food items like coffee and favorite snacks might also be good to pack while heavy clothing is generally unnecessary for tropical countries like Thailand.

Bring lots of your favorite anti perspirant. Good deodorant is hard to find and expensive if you can find it.

Buy it from the local farmers. They all have Facebook presence. Great coffee...reasonably priced.

I’m not sure that packing for a trip abroad changes based on the type of visa you have?
