THE ADVENTURE BEGINS AT THE WELCOME PARTY
You walk through a portal into a magical world. From that point forward, costumes are king. Everyone dresses up. All the time. All three parties. All 13 days.
PAST COSTUMES WE'VE SEEN:
1-3 costumes is perfect — same one all 3 parties? Totally fine.
Pack compressible — avoid hard props, bulky items
Think hot weather — accessories over full outfits
Tuktuk-friendly — can you drive in it?
TUKTUK DECORATION
Make your ride legendary
WHAT TO BRING:
Lightweight decorations
Fabric, flags, streamers, stickers
Battery-powered lights
LED strips, fairy lights (with batteries!)
Zip ties & duct tape
Essential for attaching everything
Bungee cords
Strap bags to sides — saves interior space
THE MORE ON, THE LESS IN!
Whatever you put ON your tuktuk, you don't have to put IN it. Go wild with decorations — they save space and make your ride epic.

LEAVE AT HOME

The office can hold a few, but space is limited — small bags are strongly recommended.
Heavy / bulky clothing
Stick to lightweight athletic gear that packs small.
Valuables
Expensive jewelry, watches — leave them home.
Heavy books
Use your phone or Kindle.
Hair dryer / styling tools
Embrace the adventure hair.
"Just in case" items
If you haven't used it in 3 trips, skip it.
