How to survive the flight to Ko Pha-ngan?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Ko Pha-ngan could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ko Pha-ngan?
The trick is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Ko Pha-ngan in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
