"More pictures of my family including my wedding album, shoes & wine. Shoes for my husband (size 12) are very difficult to find here and wine costs a fortune. I didn't bring anything that I wish I hadn't," wrote a member who made the move to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

"When moving to Chiang Mai, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing that is appropriate for the hot and humid climate. Bring a few items of clothing that can be layered for cooler evenings. Make sure to bring a good pair of walking shoes, as Chiang Mai is a very walkable city. Don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Additionally, it is important to bring any necessary medications, as well as a first aid kit. Finally, make sure to bring any items that will help you feel at home, such as photos, books, and other personal items," explained one expat living in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
