For many travelers departing from the United States, reaching Bangkok involves a long-haul journey that can take around 18 hours or more, depending on the departure city, airline, and layovers. For long-haul flights, many travelers pack disinfecting wipes like these in their carry-on so they can quickly wipe down tray tables, armrests, and seatbelt buckles before settling into their seat.

While the flight is lengthy, the anticipation of exploring Thailand’s vibrant capital makes the journey worthwhile. If you plan to charge multiple devices during long airport layovers or flights, a universal travel adapter like this one can be incredibly useful when you arrive Bangkok. Travelers often use the time on the flight to rest, watch movies, read, or plan their itinerary before arriving in Bangkok, where bustling markets, magnificent temples, world-class dining, and lively riverfront attractions await.

Adjusting to the time difference and staying hydrated during the flight can help make the transition smoother, allowing visitors to make the most of their adventure as soon as they land. Many travelers bring a reusable collapsible water bottle like this one to stay hydrated after passing through security.

While in Bangkok, navigating airports often means walking between terminals, gates, and security checkpoints. So some travelers use a slim running belt like this one to keep their passport, phone, and boarding pass easily accessible.

Our Travel Must-Haves

Universal Charging Adapter

A friend of ours told us about this universal adapter when we were in Greece, and our lives were forever changed. We used to have to carry multiple adapters but now only carry this one as it has an adapter for every country and supports wall and USB chargers!

On The Go Phone Charger

We purchased two of these because we loved it so much. We are constantly using our phones, taking photos and videos while we travel, and never want to run out of charge. These portable chargers keep our phones fully charged at all times!

Disposable Hotel Slippers

We love hotel slippers, and some hotels give them and some do not, so we like to be prepared. Plus, the best part is, we can throw them out when we leave the hotel and make our suitcase lighter instead of carrying traditional bedroom slippers that we use at home.

Travel Packing Bags

We love these compression cubes! We are notorious over-packers, and these packing cubes help us keep our suitcase organized and underweight!
