you probably want to bring your own mosquito net and mosquito stuff. Also a sleeping bag liner or sleep sack in case the linens aren't really clean. And maybe a small camping pillow.

And if you're a vegetarian, well, you may have a hard time. You might want to bring extra nutrition bar type things. If you are going to stay with the locals, however, you will earn major major bonus points by eating with them. So you may want to at least try to eat what you are offered. However, this pretty much led to me eating, among other things, intestines, curried frog, and crickets. It's not for everyone but the emotional gratification from this is worth it IMO. It really means a lot to "break bread" with your hosts.

I'll see if I can think of more.....
