Here is a checklist for clothes (and linked items), use it as inspiration and generate your own:
Underwear
Poncho
Socks
Brassiere
Get a sports bra to use on bumpy rides.
T-shirts
Pants
Get pants with large front pockets where you can put a large bottle of water. Make sure some pockets have zippers to keep stuff from falling out.
Belt
Shirts
Pullover
Jackets
Hat
Get a hat with a brim that protects the whole head from the sun.
Gloves
Finger gloves are very useful.
Sandals/flip flops
Trekking shoes
If they are new you should break them in before you leave so that you do not start your trip with blisters.
Other shoes
You may want to bring some other types of shoes along. If you want to get into a disco or club you may need to have a nice pair of shoes.
Shorts
Bathing suit
Check what is appropriate. Maybe you need to get a conservative bathing suit.
Towels
Bring one towel for the beach and another one to use in the shower (unless you want to dry yourself in salt, sand and who knows what else).
Sarong
Can be used as blanket, pillow, skirt, sun safety or duplicate as a beach towel. Avoid the color green if you want to use your towel while trekking, green attracts insects (as I learned the hard way in northern Thailand.)
Rain protection
Umbrella/rain gear. An umbrella also doubles as safety from strong sun. A rain poncho can be used to cover your backpack as well as yourself.
Sunglasses/clip-ons
Bring a hard plastic case to put your sunglasses in for safety when you do not use them. I have lost too many pairs from sitting on them, stepping on them or dropping them on the floor :)
Clothes hanger
To hang up your clothes when they get wet.
Clothes line and pin
To hang clothes for drying.
Pillow case
Bring along a pillow case if you have pillow issues (which can be quite understandable considering the germ-free standards in some parts of the world). If you want to avoid the pillow altogether you can generate your own pillow by stuffing your pillow case with clothes e.g. Sweaters.
Sleeping bag or sleeping sheet
To keep warm on cold nights or when there is lots of air conditioning. If you have doubts about germ-free standards at your accommodations a silk sleeping sheet can be useful.
Suit/formal dress
Not that I have ever backpacked with one, but I guess if you are planning on going to a wedding or something. If you are into gambling, some casinos have a formal dress code.
Odor absorber
The odor absorber is based on minerals and is able to absorb strong odors. Put it in your backpack.
Happy travels!
