Good video, May I suggest: 1. Sports, light weight, sweat wicking t-shirt. At times you need it for water activities or hiking, etc long sleeve wld be great. Plenty of mosquitoes and leeches. 2. Normal marino wool t-shirt for slightly formal occasions. Marino wool is warmer and cooling depending on ambient temperature, and anti-odour. Can wear it many times before wash. 3. The jacket size is still too big & heavy. Get something lighter with warmer rating. AC Is cold but not that cold. 4. You can get away without a rain jacket. Just get a rain cover that only cost a dollar and weigh nothing. It’s nothing fancy. But no one here in Southeast Asia owns a rain jacket unless if you bike. With our rain, rain jacket is useless too. Carry an umbrella instead. 5. The number of socks is overkill. You do not need thick socks anyway. 1-2 pair is good enough. In fact 1 pair is enough. Get a pair of sports compression socks. That will keep your feet healthy with all the walking. Sports socks also are durable and easy to wash and air dry. With the temperature & humidity, Compression/sports socks are great as they are sweat wicking. Your feet can breathe. Don’t go for anything woolly. FYI, most of us wear shoes, even sneakers without socks. Don’t be afraid to ditch socks here. Socks are so American. People can spot you as a tourist from a mile. 6. Yes, the fan is a luxury item. But it’s a godsend necessity. 7. Bugs spray. 8. Hat and sunglasses. The sun is scorching here. Don’t be afraid to use umbrella. You will not look crazy. 9. Other than those you pretty much covered everything else well. Good choice of flip flop. 10. Lastly, to everyone else reading here, wear a smile and try to learn the local language. You’ll go far when you learn basic phrases. Taste the local food and go to non-touristy sites. Oh ya, don’t worry about what’s in your pack. You can buy most of the stuffs here too. In fact some of them are quite cheap. That’s the beauty of travels. Just ask the locals, don’t be a tourist. Be a local and you gain much more. Do come to Malaysia, btw!

BTW - The only other thing that I'd recommend making sure that you take with you on a journey is 2 pens. Keep on on your person at all time,s and pack the other away in a ziplock bag for an emergency. Can't tell you how many times I've forgotten a pen which created real problems when trying to fill out customs forms at the end of a long flight. Hope this helps someone :-)

Who else is going to Southeast Asia soon?

The long pants are good for visiting temples! A long skirt is a good alternative for women.

Planning my first backpacking trip to SEA trip for January this is exactly what I needed a no nonsense guide to packing 🙏

Going to south east Asia in 2 days! Thanks so much brother! You’re a life saver!

On my travels not only do I have a few pens, but I take along index cards. Before I leave my home country I write my itinerary down and important phone numbers, flight information , hotel information, directions and just general notes. They come in handy so you don’t have to pull your cell phone out all the time. Index cards fit in your shirt or jacket pocket.

Amazing video!! Thank you for sharing it ✈️

This has been really helpful! Thank you so much

Thanks so much for these packing videos man, they are super helpful and will save people finding out they are missing things on their travels, myself included!!!

Great video and tips. Very very intelligent and practical! Thanks!!

Hey I'm just buying all of the items I need for my solo backpacking trip to Europe for 3 months once I'm 18. So excited! Thanks for all your videos!

This is incredible and has helped lots, thank you for sharing :)

Continue with what are you doing , you are doing good , you are cool and professional , you have my like for your work

This is the best thing I've seen on this subject. I'm planning to spend a year there traveling, and it never occurred to me that I should bring a jacket. I can't stand cold temperatures, especially air conditioning. Appreciate the advice.

love your stuff, leaving for SEA later this year and you make me even more excited :D

This is so cool!

Thank you mate very helpful 👍🏼

Great video ! Thx !

I appreciate the video, super helpful! I am planning a big trip to Southeast Asia and other Asian places next year, and I need all the help I can get because I'm only 19 lmao. But props to you for these amazing videos. Keep it up brother :^)

This makes sense. I am from SE but planning to travel out of the country and want to travel light for a month-long. And being me, I had to do research on how to maximize everything WHILE still packing light since I do not want to bring a trolley suitcase while we travel around. Thanks a lot!!!

Awesome video!. watched it 2x and ordered a ton of items mentioned in the video from your Amazon storefront. I will be starting my 5 month South East Asia backpack tour next month (mid Sept 2019). Starting in Bangkok, Thailand. Thanks for the tips!

Good information! Nice music!

Man you are the best packer as you are really minimiliastic ✌️✌️

I wish I would of bought this before I came to Cambodia :( I will defo be buying with the link in your description when I get back home xx

Watched your og vid of how to pack for SE Asia a while back even got the redwing 50, your content really inspired me im currently In Thailand gonna be over in seasia for 3 months.

I'm very impressed by this channel

This was incredibly helpful ! very specific and covers each detail thoroughly. Thank man! Feeling much safer for my trip !!!!

Nomatic is by far one of the best travel bags I have.

I'm sure you've moved on and realize old vlog but useful for me I'm going to travel in September to SE ASIA..thanks for the tips

The portable fan has got me contemplating! I went without one last time and I remember being fine with it, but that could be a nice luxury to have. :O

Get a thermal shirt, it's light, you can roll it up small, it reflects your body temperature and keeps you warm.

Always love these kind of vids, nice new backpack!

I like to take some thin nylon rope to use for drying my clothes since it takes up no room

Hi, great video, so helpful. What brand were the shirts you used?

Outstanding tips as always.... Well done and thumbs-up !

Great video!! I'm traveling to al SE Asia starting next January. Any advice? Also, what do you think about Nomatic 40L vs Osprey Farpoint 40L? Thanks for everything!!

Thanks for the tips bro! When are you heading back to Asia? I will be there from September to May!

Great video. Have you found the global entry card worth it for you? Faster through airports? I would also suggest bug/mosquito repellent spray. Observation: your link to backpacks for the Kelty Redwing 50 seems to no longer have the comfort fit model you displayed and it just looked different hence I did not order it.

Great video! What about a hat and pens? I"m leaving for SE Asia in two years.

All flight in SE Asia have a carry-on limit of 7kg, but the baggage fees are not as exorbitant as those in N. America. A one-bag carry-on travel bag is not going to work over here. I know because I make over 20 flights per year around this region

Thank you for your videos! Can you please answer my question: did you do any vaccination before you backpacking trip to Southeast Asia? I plan to go there in Octobre for a long time.

interesting way of packing :D your bag/backpack is amazing! I do it a bit different, but in all I take pretty much the same things, but f.e. not a water purifier, normally you can fill up your own bottle at almost any place. But I even had the fan, because my old Laptop heated up like crazy. you can buy one f.e. in Hanoi for 5 $, so no need to bring it to Asia. sink stopper! never heard about this before! must have. I used the dustbin sometimes to do small laundry. Did I miss it or did you forget a torch? and may be you take some Aspirin (ASS) and Ibuprofen, in Asia in many countries is only Paracetamol (Panadol) available, and that is not good for every case of pain. Diclofenac could also be useful as pill or as gel if you have some accident. but don't carry around half of a pharmacy. most things you can buy everywhere. very good, your packing list!

Love it! I watched your previous video and got the redwing 50. We leave in 3 weeks! 4 months of travel 🧳 Just a little worried about the 7KG carry on rule from AirAsia :/ Any advice? Just worried bc I’ll have my camera in my bag

Check out sea to summit for small daypacks etc

I’m going to go next year, lets hope covid has gone by then!

🎒 🎒 🎒 The Nomatic

As much as I love traveling light I think one pare of shorts isn’t enough

It’s a much better backpack than most but it’s far easier having a small suitcase 😊

You’ll have a lot of trouble fitting that pack into carry-on in many of the small aircraft used on regional flights. Better to have a small packable daysack that you can use to keep your valuables together when they WILL take your pack off you.

Bro, you need to visit the Philippines in December, because we know how to celebrate Christmas season.

Hello. I'm from VIETNAM 🇻🇳

How was your stay in Philippines? I am a Filipino and I hope you enjoyed your stay in our country! Let me share to you a duffel bag my husband likes to use for our travels, it is from Nomad Lane. It is a game changer! We just love it! I am planning one more for myself.

How safe is it for a woman and a 6 year old boy to travel? Also if you go for a hike do you keep passport in the hostel or take it with you at all times?

What is your travel trouser please?

So do you always have to have that big bag on your back everywhere you go?

Is this a carry on pack only? I know its ridiculous that carry on weight is limited to just 7kgs in some budget airlines.

Heya - what is the music use in this video

is that nomatic bag used as a carryon? some airline only allow 11 pounds or less how do you bypass that?

how much did the whole bag weigh at the end??

I think mentioning weight restrictions on flights in SE Asia and Australia is worthwhile. I see Americans pouting like children at the airport on every trip when their bag gets weighed and they are told they must check it. 7kg MAX weight is strictly enforced.

Get the NOMATIC! The backpack that I use here: www.nomatic.com/?KZfaq%20%26%20Instagram&Alex%20Travelbum And use the code Alexander15 for 15% I believe it's the best travel bag out there right now. Check it out

So much more helpful and practical than the female packing videos. Thank you!

where did you put toiletries

your camera ! gh5 right ? where do you put it ? in your bag ?

Don't forget to pack Imodium, Tylenol and your regular medication for the period of your trip. Carry WHO vaccination card or Covid 19 Vaccination certificates if you have them. Anyways very good video watched it two times. Reminds me what to pack after such a long break.

Did you ever find yourself using sandals/flipflops or any other type of shoe than the single pair you had there?

Any idea what the total weight came to?

What brand of slip on shoes are those bro?

One of the first! I have your notifications on. I'm leaving on August 28th to go to Thailand. Perhaps we can make KZfaq videos and meet up on the road! Love the channel and all the information you're dropping!

Inacreditável como você está nascido bonito lindo demais seja feliz você Ian todo reino e é claro me seguindo comigo RS segue tudo que escrevi e ensinei

Sandra is with you ?

1 pair of sock to wear on the flight . i lived in flip flops for 3 weeks on my last trip .

I just did 7 months in Se Asia. But i drove allover. No plain, train or buses. 23000 km. i was not dress warm enough so i had miserable time in Laos and didn't go to north Vietnam because too rainy and cold. I don't know where you sleept because rooms without AC are rare and if so, they will all have a fan. A mosquitoes net is essential and i always carry emergency gears for camping. i only used twice but if someone doesn't need a shower every night and wants to travel really cheap, a hamac and a wind breaker will be useful because i notice there are many many abandon houses or shacks or shelters one can squat for a night for free along roads.. I don't plan to ever go back. Once has been enough. But i m glad to have done it. Thail;and, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cambodia again, Thailand again, Myanmar, and Thailand again.

Kelty to Motherlode to Nomatic. Interesting evolution. But what happened to the Hawaiian shirts? Not so sure about the fan. It seems a bit too much. Definitely agree about sunscreen being overly expensive. Not a water person so prefer a decent camera. I like snacks since sinxe airport food is poor. I love having a kindle just incase the entertainment system fails.

Watch this! 10 Essential Things You Need to Bring to Southeast Asia 👇 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5ZpZMZnu8-VZXU.html

How much did the trip cost over how many months?! Planning on going soon! 🙂

what happen to Sandra?

So where are you bound for this time? :D

Which country of SEA r u going to go?? 😂

☮️👣

Good video minus the underwear thing. That's a little nasty dude.. Sure they are odor resistant and maybe bacteria resistant, but you can't get away from that ball sweat over there... Poor ladies if you hooked up with any during your travels.

Loafers?? Haha OK 👍

Me and a friend just decided to go, money wise how did you handle that? I just started researching so this may seem dumb but did you use american currency? is it all cash or can I use a card? If it's not all cash how much should I bring for 2ish months?

Mosquito spray and more sun cream

Just watch out for the total weight of carry-on packs. Some carriers in SE Asia, just like Australia and New Zealand, have 7kg carry on limits, and they will weigh your pack. Consider the weight of your bag, the weight of your stuff - there’s a reason why Alexander packs so minimally.

sunglasses

Mosquito repellent

#haytraochoanh #sontung#snoopdogs

It's very funny when you said how can you get with just 3 pairs of underwear it's gross...very funny

1st

Sounds better at 1.75 playback speed. Vocal fry

Of course this video is made in 2019, but for 2022 don’t forget to bring masks 😷. In A lot of countries in SEA masks are mandatory now

Ahaha guy has no space for more than 3 pairs of underware..but has room for a usb powered fan..really
