Another thing I would add is that if you are significantly size-different from the area you’re going, make sure you bring enough essentials… particularly bras, undies, and shoes. It was impossible for me to find shoes in Korea (except sneakers, which I bought in the men’s department!), and rather difficult to find under garments in my size too (many bras there only go up to a B! The largest I saw was a 36C). In the two largest cities (Busan and Seoul) there were a few Western stores like H&M and Mango that I fit into, but if you are larger than a size 12 US, you may not be able to find much clothing either. Something to keep in mind!

Great tips! I had no idea what to pack for teaching in Thailand before I came here. I thought that teacher clothes had to be boring. Luckily, clothing in Thailand is pretty cheap so I was able to jazz up the basics I brought with me with individual pieces from Bangkok’s malls and markets. 🙂
