Packing Tips
1. Getting started: Pre-select your outfits. Choose items that you could use in more than one look. Make a holiday packing list by visiting www.zalora.co.th for your winter get up, www.skyscanner.co.th for the best flight deals, and www.skyscanner.co.th/news for tips.
2. Buy a lightweight suitcase: Choose the right bag. A hardshell suitcase can add up to 4 kilos of weight before you've even started packing, expensive isn't always the best.
3. Save space and stop creasing: Different clothing have different textures. To save space and avoid creases, roll your clothes instead of folding them, then place them in vacuum compression bags.
4. Compartmentalize and avoid stains: Take spare zip lock bags and use them to separate different groups of items, especially for your on-flight liquids and Nine West heels.
5. Be sure to check luggage weight limits: Invest in some luggage scales and weigh your luggage at home first, to saving money on baggage fees.
