Ultimate Packing List for Worldwide International Travel, Backpacking Europe, Asia, Cruise Travel, everyday essentials, how to travel plastic free, toiletries, electronics, medication, first aid, anti theft protection, Feet Do Travel
Before you embark on any type travel, you need to pack, which is sometimes daunting. Deciding what to pack can leave you with a headache, and you ask yourself "which essential items do I need", and "what should I not pack?" 

We have been travelling full time in Asia for over two years, and have perfected the ultimate packing list. Whilst we may not have perfected how to travel light, we certainly know which items we cannot do without.

We have been using this essential international travel packing list for many years, and it’s worked for us so far!

We have stayed in All Inclusive resorts, been on luxury tours, gone camping and now we are backpacking, plus we have stayed in every type of B&B and hotel in between. In other words, we know what we are talking about. Regardless of your age, how you are travelling and where you are going, we know the essential items to pack for worldwide travel.

We cover everyday essentials such as toiletries and electronics, how to travel plastic free,  which medication you should take, anti-theft protection, plus even what bag to take.
​
This is Feet Do Travel’s ultimate packing list; all tried and tested! What we carry and why.

Ping Pong at Patpong, Bangkok, Thailand

Ping Pong Show at Patpong night market Bangkok, Thailand red light district. Sex Tourism or Sexy Show? Feet Do Travel
It’s interesting how, over time, your memory of an experience can change and you remember things differently.  An example of this was my visit to a Ping Pong show in the Patpong district of the night market Bangkok – the infamous “entertainment” show where ladies perform “tricks” from their nether regions!

Tourism in this Thailand red light district area drives the economy, and is a lucrative income for everyone involved. It is estimated that the Thai Sex Industry is worth 260 BILLION Baht (over US $8 million/GBP £6 million).

In 2004 the area was decreed an official “entertainment zone” by the government, and venues stay open until 2am. If it’s officially classed as “entertainment” it can’t be bad or immoral, right? Prostitution in Thailand is illegal so surely there’s no harm in a ping pong show?

If the delectable Bradley Cooper can hang out here in “The Hangover 2”, it’s got to be good for grins. There is even a “Bangkok Hangover Tour” which takes you to the nightlife areas experienced in the movie, including Patpong, so how wrong can it be?

What were my thoughts, as a liberal thinking woman, whilst watching a controversial tourist show?

Best Festivals Around the World with Feet Do Travel, Oktoberfest beer festival, Rio Carnival, Glastonbury music festival, Burning Man
Attending a festival should be part of everyone’s annual celebration. Why? Because they are just so much fun!

There are many different festivals held around the world throughout the year to suit every taste. Traditionally, festivals are a special day or period for a religious event or anniversary. They can also be an organised event such as a music festival, food festival, film festival or even a beer festival. Some are large involving thousands of people, others are small local gatherings. 

People travel the globe to attend these elaborate events, and often make it the sole purpose for their trip.  We have!

There are many festivals on my bucket list which I have yet to attend, so to help me compile this epic list of festivals around the world, I asked some awesome travel bloggers.
​
What a magnificent, diverse and eclectic list this is!

Why You Should Visit Chiang Rai

22/4/2018

I absolutely loved Chiang Rai. Out of all the places I visited in Thailand, this was my favourite. A mountainous region with less tourists than other parts of Thailand and a laid-back vibe, I found the locals to be friendlier and more genuine than in other parts of the country. I’m not saying they weren’t friendly elsewhere in Thailand, I just found locals to be … well … really friendly!

Chiang Rai is often overlooked, and tends to be a place used as a stopover for Thailand to Laos or Myanmar border crossings. If you take the time to stay here, you will find it has so much more to offer than a city to just breeze through.
​
Apart from the people, why else did I love Chiang Rai? Let Feet Do Travel show you why you should visit Chiang Rai.

The world is full of delicious food. With so many different types of food to choose from, where do you start?
​
When we tell people we have been a year in Indonesia, they say “I love Indonesian food”. With all this food around me (and its tasty food), is there a must-try dish I would recommend? What is the best food in the world? 

Lorelei (California Globetrotter) was hosting an Afternoon Tea Party, and I began reminiscing about the delightful afternoon teas I used to enjoy in the UK, but which delicious dishes would people recommend from their own Country? Which tasty food did they enjoy from their travels?

We asked our travel friends, who told us their cultural food favourites from around the world. Feet Do Travel share world food: delicious dishes to try.

Thailand has some stunning Temples, but have you considered doing a Temple Tour of Chiang Rai? Some of Thailand's must-see Temples are in Chiang Rai, and the architecture is breath taking. We were captivated by their unique style.

The White Temple and the Blue Temple are two of the best temples in Chiang Rai, and should be on your list of things to do in north Thailand. Steeped in history, did you know that for a brief period of time, Chiang Rai was once the capital of Northern Thailand?

A few of Chiang Rai's temples are new and still under construction, but others are old and hold a huge amount of historical significance, including the original home to Thailand’s most highly revered Buddha image, the Jade Buddha now housed in the Grand Palace of Bangkok.

Feet Do Travel take you on a temple-tastic self guided tour of Chiang Rai, Thailand.

Chiang Mai is the most culturally significant City in Northern Thailand. Quieter than Bangkok, it is full of Thai history, friendly locals, rich in culture, and of course there is delicious Thai food. There are many things to do in Chiang Mai including a temple tour around the Old City, the must see Doi Suthep is one of Thailand’s best temples, and the holiest.

A mountainous region with all the conveniences of a City, people travel to Chiang Mai for a change of pace, and for Songkran, which sees the population double during this 5-day festival in April. Songkran was the reason we visited, and although we did the usual tourist activities, we also did a few unique and different things whilst in Chiang Mai.

So, as the famous Thai saying goes, this post is “same-same but different”. This is my Chiang Mai – 10 awesome things to do in north Thailand.

Temple Tour Chiang Mai, best temples to visit in Chiang Mai, top temples to see in north Thailand, which is the best temple to visit in Chaing Mai? Old City, Doi Suthep, Wat Pra Singh, Wat Tung Yu, Wat Phan Tao, Wat Inthakhin Saduemuang, Wat Chiang Man, Wat Jed Yod, chat with a Buddhist monk at Wat Suan Dok Temple, Monk Chat, Feet Do Travel
With over 300 temples in Chiang Mai, it feels there is a wat around every corner. No other province in Thailand has as many temples as Chiang Mai, so how do you choose which one to visit?

With a mixture of old temples, cultural temples, temples of huge historical importance, it is easy to see how Chiang Mai was once the capital of Thailand. The myths surrounding their origins are fascinating, and we doesn't love a gold Buddha statue or two.

An Old City Temple Tour is where you will see the majority of temples, but if you make time to visit Doi Suthep, you will not be disappointed.

Feet Do Travel share what we consider to be the best temples to visit in Chiang Mai.
