Phuket & Krabi Packing List 2026: Thailand Rainy Season (Sept–Oct)

A printable packing checklist for one specific trip: Phuket and Krabi in September and October, at the tail end of the Andaman monsoon. It covers Kata, Karon and Kamala on Phuket, and Ao Nang and Ko Lanta in Krabi. Three goals: stay reasonably dry, keep your laptop and phone safe on boats, and pack light enough to move between towns easily.

What's inside

• Tick-box checklists with a simple code on every item: pack from home, buy there, or skip
• What Sept–Oct actually feels like: the rain pattern, September vs October, and what each town was like
• Rain gear that isn't overkill, plus what to skip and what to buy locally
• Keeping your laptop and electronics dry: dry bag sizes, backpack protection, where to sit on boats, and 5 steps before you board
• A 7-day quick-dry clothing capsule, plus fabrics and laundry tips
• Beach and sun basics: sun protection, bugs and a small first-aid kit
• Red-flag and rough-sea days: beach flags, rip currents at Kata and Karon, how to tell a boat trip will be cancelled, and rainy-day backup plans
• Digital nomad work gear: power banks and flight rules, Thai sockets, eSIM and staying connected, and what to do in a storm power cut
• Money, apps and admin: approximate baht prices, ATM tips, why to always choose baht, and a before-you-go list
• Thai etiquette basics, a master printable checklist grouped by bag, and a quick-reference page for boat days
