You can buy a lot of stuff there! Dont bring tons of stuff! You can even buy clothes, shoes, sweaters, hats etc! They have all kinds.
If you know about natural medicine, it can save your life. They eat a lot of chili in India and thats because chili is antiviral and anti parasite. Stay away from sweets! Sweets are terrible combined with the environment there. You don’t ever want to end up in a hospital in Asia!!!! Get your immune system up!
CAYENNE is great for building a strong immune system. You can take a whole chili and split it and put it in your milk and it is like a natural pasturization.
GARLIC kills worms and germs, along with onions. You can even eat the garlic and onion with puffed rice and chili on the trains.
Or quava with chili and salt. (quava good for diarea) Bananas and yogurt should be eaten when you have diarea.
Eating yogurt is helpful for getting helpful bacteria from THAT area to fight the native bacterias .
NEEM trees grow in India, but you can get neem tablets to kill worms and germs.
Keep a tiny bottle of clove oil for teeth! (hot chai is good for a tooth ache)
Mosquito net and string is good.
Ayurvedic and Homeopathic doctors are everywhere and can be great!!! But beware, there are phonies.
When you are there if you feel over traveled and sick, sometimes just taking your shoes off and walking on the earth, “grounds” you. WALKING Is very good after a flight. Especially on clean mud or earth.
Don’t keep immportant stuff in the backpack (it will be sliced open) keep a small bag in your shirt around your neck that you can tuck in your pants and wear a long shirt over that.
I could go on and on.

Agreed with above one, family is the most you will miss, so all belonging like pictures that keep memories from them will be a help to get used to new country in the first months… and always.
You may want to carry some food, even Thai food is good (not like in my case – Im in China), you may want to eat some food from your country at the beginning. Also medicine, you better bring some for basic things like stomachache, vomit, flu, etc.
Wow, you may didn’t choice right moment to move to Thai, is not a so politic stable country right now after the military overthrown the established governement. Terrorists atacks are now also a bit. Besides that, Thai is a paradise, nice beaches, good food, fun and cheap.
Finally obey the laws wherever you go, in Thai specially have a moleste majeste law, it means that if you offend the King on any way (talk bad about him, paint on his pictures, etc), you can get up to 20 years in prision… it happened last month to one foreigner.
About the 9/11, the usual, no liquids on cabin, but you can still transport them in your baggage that you document. Food can be transported on baggage as well if they are sailed or in a unopen package.
About airport, regions here are strict againt drug dealers, in Singapore there is death penalty if you bring any kind of drugs. So, like in a movie about two girl tourists going to Thai, be sure noboy is in contact with your baggage after you review it and close it, and dont carry any gift given by strangers, nobody wants to arrive and going jail instead of a hotel.
So, getting back to the question, besides personal items, medicines and food… and of course money
, I don’t think you need big thing else to get used to the new country… and there is always UPS or Fedex for missing things at home, is not a big tragedy if your forgot something last minute

You might want to bring some condoms….the ones that they sell in Thailand are smaller sized than we have in Western countries….
OK, maybe you wont have a problem with that, but I sure do

Don’t ogle at gorgeous girls. There are a lot of lady boys in Thailand, especially Bangkok and Phuket. Lady boys mean boys who underwent surgical procedure to become girls.

In all seriousness, you should double check the entry requirements for Thailand. Visa on arrival or visa free entry at the airport requires a return non-refundable airline ticket to somewhere else. It’s not so much the Thai authorities you need to worry about though, because as long as you’re well dressed and look respectable they dont care, BUT, if you dont have a return ticket (or Thai visa already) your airline may refuse to let you on the flight. (It happens surprisingly often)
Anyway, generally, you can get pretty much anything you need in Thailand. Maybe bring some music if you’re into less popular sounds, as more underground or less well know acts are really hard to find (as you’d expect).
Take some pictures of your home and life back home as well, not just to prevent homesickness, but I found the people in Asia were so willing to share their culture with me, that it was kind of nice to share a bit of mine with them.
Other than that, dont pack liquids or gels in your carry on luggage because they’ll be confiscated. And anything else you find you need can pretty easily be found in most big cities in Asia. (I even managed to find a jar of Vegemite in Phnom Penn, and for an Australian, that is SOMETHING)
Have fun.

Digital camera, mobile PC, and portable printer are my suggestion. You can buy them in Bangkok but very expensive and few choices. Cell phones can be bought at MBK, Fortune, or Pantip at reasonable price. I didn’t regret because I brought them with me.

you can join the airlines frquet flyer club and get extra baggage allowance FREE @ 10KGS it does not matter if you never fly with the airline again ,you will still get the extra kgs
When you join you will get a number that you show to check in desk ,you might have to print card ,some airlines send you the card ,so you could get someone to forward it to you ,but you dont need it if you have your frequent flyer number

Honestly, I dont know what arrangements you’ve made for yourself in Thailand, but I would suggest a little caution before you leave.
Since the September 2006 military coup in Thailand, immigration authorities there are enforcing residency laws for foreigners rather strictly. Suggest you check your visa/ residency status before you leave because there can be some unpleasant surprises once you land.
Also, Thai immigration usually requires a return ticket.
