I'll be in Asia for 3 weeks...this question has a few parts:
1- I'm going to bangkok, ko samet, phuket, singapore, and the philippines (in that order)...what type of luggage should I bring? I was planning on bringing 1 large rolling/pull-along suitcase, but then I thought about just getting one of those huge North Face travel backpacks. What do you suggest? Keep in mind that I'm gonna be taking ferries, boats, planes, taxis, etc.
2- When I'm hanging out on the beach, where can I keep my camera/I.D./money safe (from water, sand, and thieves)? I want to keep it close to me, but then I also want the freedom of being able to go jump in the water for a few minutes, then come back to my towel and lay out, then go back into the water, etc. Also, if I go on any snorkeling/scuba diving excursions, where can I keep my stuff so that it stays safe (from thieves) and dry?

it depends on your size. If you are small enough take nothing but good shoes and two changes of clothes. All the clothes there are very very cheap. take toilet paper. Even buy your own backpack over there for cheap....we did. When it comes to looking after your items thats another story.. If you are traveling with some one take turns at looking after them.. leave them in your hotel if you have to.. Some places have little dry bags that can keep your things on you and dry on day tours..... Take as little as possible at all times..... HAve a great trip/

I'd been to those places before and all that I could tell you is pack your bag and bring lotsa paper cup and toilet paper. Just be yourself and enjoy the moment. Bring lots of candies too. I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to dine in Bangkok. Apparently, few people speaks English and most of their food is very spicy.

Mabuhay!

Bring some dog food and a good pair of running shoes. In the Philippines, dogs are sacred animals and the people let them roam around the streets. If one chases you throw some food at your canine attacker while you run for your life :-]

I suggest to carry toilet paper in case you need it. I wanted to use the restroom to change my clothes in Malaysia, the man guarding the restroom door charge me money for toilet paper. ...and I didn't need to go.
