Here is what I´m packing for thees 2 weeks:
Important is to know how the weather can be, so I´m prepared for rain
and some colder days as well as for crazy sun. (Helpful is to take a thin long pants and a bigger on you can put over. So basically really do the onion system everyone is always talking about.)
Take sunscreen, mosquito spray an umbrella or rain cape and a cape and a rain coat for your backpack. You really don´t want to travel with wet things.
My first rule: Always take at least 2 pair of shoes (no need for more than 3!). There is nothing worse than to walk around in shoes that are wet or hurt.
Even as a backpacker it is good to have at least one nice outfit to wear, as you just never know what happens ;)
As I travel a lot in busses and trains I find it useful to have a little pillow and a sarong, which you can use as blanket or a sheet.

A little flashlight can be very useful (in a dorm at night, in a cave
you may visit etc.) As well as little water proofed plastic bags for your
camera or passport if it is raining or you simply cross a river with one of the
boat that should have been sinking years ago.
If you have a own snorkel take it! It often avoids extra costs and standing in lines.

If you travel, especially to Asia make sure to take some toilet paper. It´s rare and always useful.
All the other stuff is my cameras and chargers etc.
See the little bottles of snaps? Well, as I couchsurf a lot I always take something typical from my home country with me. And well... you all know that Jägermeister is from Germany :)
All these things are usefull to have but don´t worry, you will find replacement if you forgot something. There is just one thing you should never forget: Your passport!
