Other:

Clothing Recommendations

Bangkok temperatures range from 28-35°C year-round with high humidity. Pack accordingly:

Cotton underwear: sufficient quantity

Avoid: Tight jeans, one-piece outfits — difficult to remove for repeated ultrasound appointments.

Toiletries and Skincare

Basic skincare (sunscreen essential)
Makeup remover (no makeup on surgery days, but normal use otherwise)
Lip balm (hospital air conditioning causes dryness)
Feminine hygiene products (available in Thailand, but brands differ)

Electronics

Thailand uses the same two-flat-pin outlets as China — no adapter needed

Travel pillow or pillowcase: Some patients are sensitive to hotel bedding
Heating pad or disposable hand warmers: Abdominal warmth after transfer (especially in cold air-conditioned spaces)
Books or tablet: Hospital monitoring days can involve 1-3 hours of waiting
Familiar snacks from home: Comfort food for emotional stability during stressful days
Small notebook: Record daily monitoring results and doctor instructions — useful for tracking patterns
