I agree with Helen - a new backpack is asking for trouble! If you can't find a ratty backpack at a jumble sale and have to get a new one, don't spend a fortune on it. As long as it feels like it could take a good kicking, buy it, take it home... and give it that good kicking in the street or your garden to take the shine off and add some character. Carry the smallest size you think you can manage with. The less you pack the better off you are. Any clothes or cosmetics (shampoo, etc.) can be purchased in Thailand for a lot less than wherever it is you're travelling from. While you're at it, keep your guidebook out of public view, too. Waving one of those about is like using a megaphone to shout "I'm new here and I haven't got a clue!".

go to a jumble sale and buy the oldest tattiest scruffy on you can get because if you go with a new one , you may as well walk around with a big sign saying "I'M A TOURIST PLEASE ROB ME !!!!!!!!!!!!"
