We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Phra Pradaeng before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Phra Pradaeng, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, 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, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
