# Other

• ❗️ Passport
  make sure it’s valid for >6 months!! I forgot this and almost got into lots of trouble.
• Local currency
  At my local bank, I exchanged 200€ into Thai Baht before flying. Saves you from having to buy at poor airport exchange rates.
• Credit card(s)
  Both Visa & Mastercard. Yes, we’ve had cases where one didn’t work. I recommend N26 because the credit card is free and they charge no fees when paying in foreign currencies and only charge 1.7% when withdrawing them.
• Backpack: Osprey Farpoint Trek 75L
  → awesome and comfy, fits all my stuff. Also includes a rain cover / travel cover for protecting it during flight handling.
• Day pack: some cheap 20L anti-theft backpack
  → light colored for keeping cool
• Pacsafe 12L
  → for keeping the MacBook safe while we’re not in the hotel room
