We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Tha Rong Chang in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Tha Rong Chang a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
