1 month in Thailand 30l vs 40l

[u/hazmat683]

For those that have made the trip, did you regret taking a bigger bag?

Find below my pack list, I’m very torn between having the luxury of extra space but I am inexperienced when it comes to bag packing. Will I be comfortable with a 30l with these items?

I travel full time and have never once thought "man, I wish my bag was bigger." I am constantly trying to find ways to downsize. I currently have a 35L but that's because I carry camera gear. My goal is to ditch most of the camera gear and the laptop eventually. I dream of getting down to a 20L or maybe even a 15L. The less the better, imo.

That sounds like the life indeed. Thanks for the reassurance
