What to pack for asia with kids

These are the thing's that we have 'needed' or picked up on the way, most thing's you can pick up on the way because Asia sell's everything for cheap and cheaper(excuse the bad grammer) than at home. A lot of backpacker's we have met have gone with nothing and done a big shopping trip in the first few day's around the market and mall's! We bought half at home half here, just depend's what you prefer i suppose! 

General:

•    Plenty of sun lotion (its quite expensive over in Asia and sometimes it can be hard to find the higher factors)
•    Insect repellent. (With DEET if you want guaranteed protection). Although other types of protection are widely sold around Asia. 
•    A Swiss army knife. (for Cutting food, Opening beer, to fixing that dodgey Mosquito Mesh on the Window)
•    Laptop. (not a necessity if you want to save space, but most guesthouses have free WIFI in the room)
•    Phone (we bought it over here)
•    2 in 1 conditioner
•    Camera, (A small digital is ideal)
•    Razors
•    Toothbrush
•    Toothpaste 
•    After sun best to buy a water based one.
•    Soap
•    Small sponge to share
•    Deodorant
•    Malaria tablets, Malerone for the children. It is not lisenced out here so get it at home, it can be quite expensive unless you have a small child.(you can buy doxycycline in boots in Thailand.
•   Cards
•   1pair of Sandals
•   Sunglasses

For the ladies:

•      1 pair of socks
•      Hairbrush

•      2 t-shirts
•      2 vests
•      2 pairs of shorts
•      Hair bobbles
•      Hair clips
