Very impt. If you are going to the undeveloped areas. A torch light. Blackouts are prone, even in cities like Bali (I exp two blackouts in a three night stay). Money (USD/SGD are good). Light clothings (Light as in thin materials and small in quantity as you are bound to shop).

Main thing is have enough money to see you through any emergency. A phone to stay in touch anywhere you are. Comfortable clothes and shoes and a light windbreaker for the wet season. Not to mention clean underwear to feel good. Have fun, it will be good if you know some local words if you are planning to travel into the countryside, in whichever country. Have fun.
