Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Huai Yot could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
- Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
