Borders worldwide are opening slowly, and if you’re still apprehensive about travelling far but need a beach vacation, then Southeast Asia has plenty. With COVID-19 looking like it’s here to stay (how many variants have we had now?), a beach holiday is one of those things you can do to practice social distancing.
Packing for a vacation can sometimes be tricky because you have to consider many things. You want to pack light but right, so if you’re planning on some fun in the sun, then there are essentials you must include in your bag.
Here is a list of some basic (and non-basic) products worth packing, and they’re all under RM88 each.
