Flights to Tha Muang, Kanchanaburi Province from NT$2,154

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Tha Muang vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Tha Muang, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
