Hello everyone

I have posted several topics in relation to retiring in Cambodia, which I hope to do within the next year. However I need your help on something that has only just been apparent.

I hopefully am visiting Siem Reap early December for approx 2 weeks, as it has been made available for me to leave work at visit.

The panic is....I want to travel with the bare minimum, no cases, just a backpack if possible. Usually I plan for weeks/months even years, however can't do that as only found out this week I can have December off to travel.....yippee!!!!

Could anyone please list what indeed to bring,...the only things I have on my list are:
Passport incl photocopy
Plane tickets
1 spare set of clothes
Spare glasses
Toiletries
iPhone & charger
iPad & charger
Travel insurance
Rucksack
Camera

Also a few questions:

1. Is the above list missing anything?
2. Any more type of clothes than normal
3. Visa...I am travelling straight in/out of Bangkok, will I require a Thai Visa, or can I just obtain a Cambodian Visa on my arrival in Siem Reap airport, although I will be visiting a friend in Chon Buri in Thailand whilst in Siem Reap before I travel back to Bangkok for a week then UK
4. What vaccinations do I need
5. Any pills I need to bring
6. What travel adapters

Many thanks for any help you are able to give as this is very last minute.....

-you could take some instant pain relief聽 pill , just in case the pharmacies are all closed in the middle of the night.

A good small first aid kit with anti-diarrhea meds, bug bites, and pain relievers.聽

Vaccinations if you're coming from a developed country you should be fine if everything is updated.

As for visas, if you're traveling to and from Cam and Thailand or vice versa, I had to get visas anytime I entered/exited to the other country.
