Only bring what you are absolutely sure you cannot get here. Most things are cheaper to buy here than the shipping cost. Its hot here, you only need the lightest of clothing, anything too heavy will never be worn. Depending on your size you can buy suitable clothes easy enough, worse case scenario there are cost effective tailors here, still cheaper than shipping costs. I came over with 2 carry on suitcases and still brought stuff I will never use here. Unless it's sentimental, leave it and buy new.
Or you can buy a cheap throw away ticket to Vietnam or whereever rather than buying round trip, something showing your intent is to leave the country when your stay is finished. Look at whichever option is your most cost effective option.
I'm not trying to be negative, but I have to ask why would you go through the expense and risk of damage to transport household goods here? It's far easier / cheaper to sell up completely and buy what you need here.
Keep in mind any electrical goods will need adapters. Finding a home that will fit your existing furniture may be hard depending on area you are moving to and type of place.
Unless the things you are shipping are sentimental you really are better off selling everything and starting over.
It was really hard to do at the time - we sold everything and came over with carry on & laptops only and have found everything we needed here to be easy to find and cheaper than shipping costs - bonus, everything is new and suits the new surroundings.
