Half the adventure is in figuring out what to bring to Asia<\/a>. You\u2019ll be able to buy some of what you need there, but it\u2019s a great idea to brush up on how to dress before you get there to make the most of the continent\u2019s rich culture and experiences in comfort and style.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to get going? We\u2019ve covered some of the essentials below:   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to include on your Asia packing list:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Always<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layers, check. Sunscreen, check. Rain poncho, check. Your Asia packing list is getting off to a good start and there\u2019s plenty more to add to it, but we\u2019d recommend leaving a little space in your luggage for the fantastic souvenirs that will remind you of your epic exploration of this varied continent.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear and how to dress in Asia depends greatly on the destination you\u2019re visiting. On your journey across this vast region, you could watch the sunrise at the Taj Mahal, hike the Himalayas, sail Halong Bay, explore the lost ruins of Angkor Wat, trace the Great Wall of China or eat sushi for breakfast in Tokyo. The tried and tested tip to preparing for these diverse experiences is to keep it light, loose and dry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to learn how? Apply these principles to your Asia packing list and you\u2019ll master what to wear in Asia, whether your travels take you from Singapore to Sri Lanka, or Thailand to Cambodia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for what to\u00a0wear in Asia<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dress modestly <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Dress<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the joy of exploring Asia is getting to grips with its beautiful heritage and culture and that means extraordinary experiences in the continent\u2019s most sacred sites. From the temples of Nepal and Pagodas of Myanmar, to sacred caves in Laos and mosques in Singapore, no visit to Asia is complete without visiting some of the sites most revered by its locals. Show your respect by kicking off your shoes and covering up \u2013 outfits covering shoulders and the knees are a must. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it loose and comfortable <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"When<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort is key when exploring Asia. You\u2019ll want to keep your wardrobe loose and light-fitting, opting for outfits made from natural fibres like cotton, which dry quickly and don\u2019t cling to you. Think wide leg trousers, button-down shirts and long skirts to keep you light and breezy no matter where your travels take you.  Leave the strappy tops, short shorts and jeans at home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring sensible footwear\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Well-fitted<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re likely to spend a lot of time on your feet when exploring Asia and that means well-fitted footwear is a non-negotiable. Depending on your itinerary, you could opt for flipflops, sturdy sandals, walking shoes or hiking boots. Check what makes the most sense for your trip, but there\u2019s no need to bring along anything dressy or expensive.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pack warm layers\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"It<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be fooled into thinking Asia is tropical and balmy year-round. Depending on the destination and the time of year you\u2019re visiting, you may well need to pack a few warm layers to keep you comfortable at higher altitudes and at night. From the Thai highlands and Sapa in Vietnam to the ski resorts of Sapporo in Japan and the Himalayas, you\u2019ll be grateful you switched up your short sleeves for something warmer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 essential items to bring to Asia <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"If<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No need to panic if you\u2019ve left any of the following at home because shopping is something your Asian hosts know how to do well.\u00a0However, if you\u2019d like to maximise your sightseeing time, you\u2019ll do well to think ahead about what to bring to Asia.\u00a0 Here are our recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Translation app\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nothing beats a good translation app. While many locals do speak English, having an app could prove handy in an otherwise frustrating situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Insect repellent\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

South\u00a0East Asia is\u00a0particularly\u00a0known for mosquitos. So, if\u00a0you want to avoid dreaded itchiness\u00a0and being kept up half the night, insect repellent is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Plug adapter and converter\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the exceptions of\u202fJapan\u202fand\u202fTaiwan, most countries in Asia use a 230-240V system, which is where your life-saving converter comes in. If you don\u2019t have one, it\u2019s well worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Umbrella\/Waterproof jacket\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Consider<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Always check the weather report for the day as Asia is renowned for unpredictable downpours. Consequently, having a waterproof jacket or umbrella\u00a0could just save the day.\u00a0While we\u2019re at it, a quick-dry towel\u00a0is\u00a0really handy after a surprise downpour.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Portable charger\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are 101 reasons why your devices should be charged at all times. Be sure to pick up a portable charger if you don\u2019t have one. Nobody wants to be on the back end of a dead device in an unfamiliar destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Hand sanitiser, wipes and tissues\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not only are these essential during COVID times, but some bathrooms might not provide soap or toilet paper. In which case, it\u2019s always great to have a backup.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Sarong or scarf\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sarong is a fantastic accessory to your \u201cwhat to wear in Asia\u201d itinerary.\u00a0 They\u2019re great for evading the sunny rays on a hot day and can be also used as a quick coverup around the shoulders when visiting\u00a0sacred sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Headphones\u00a0or earplugs<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These offer an excellent means to escape the bustle \u2013 one thing Asian cities aren\u2019t is quiet.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
