Hey guys, I've had the good fortune to be invited to a friend's Buddhist wedding in thailand and I cannot wait!
We're going to Bangkok first, and then to Nakhon in the south for the second half of the trip.

Has anyone been, and do you guys have any advice of what I should take, buy or shouldn't take in terms of camera gear?

I'll give you a list of what I have:

K10d + grip + battery + remote f
16-45mm sa
35mm da 2.8 macro
40mm f2.8 da
50mm fa 2.8 macro
50mm fa 1.4
50-200mm da
135mm f2.5 k
Polarisers
Sigma ef530 dg super + stofen
Samsung sef360 flash + stofen
Lowepro slingshot 100 bag
Lowepro orion trekker 2 backpack

I think I may need a bag with a much larger capacity for non camera stuff, what would you recommend?
Also, what camera stuff should I take?

We have travelled through Tailand last year.
What you need are wide angle lenses and lenses to shoot in available light.
Occasional long lens capability to steal a local scenery.
I'd take the 16-45, the 50 fa 1.4 and the 50-200mm with a flash.
Mind you, in the temples you cannot use the flash.
And beware, if it rains in Thailand, it rains....

I'm thinking the 16-45mm, 35mm macro, 50mm 1.4 and 50-200mm, sigma 530ef super and a polariser.

I'm thinking whether its worth taking the grip... I mean if I want to lighten my load for trips, I can leave it off and go with just the 35mm and the k10 body I guess.

Anyone got any thoughts about travel bags?
