Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Bring a mosquito net and insect repellent to protect yourself from mosquitoes. Pack comfortable shoes for walking and exploring. Bring a first aid kit with basic medical supplies. Bring a universal adapter for charging electronics.
