Family Vacation in Thailand: A 2015 Travelogue
Our first family holiday with two kids was a memorable one. We chose Thailand, a perfect escape from the cold winter. Having visited Thailand multiple times before, we initially had an ambitious travel plan. However, upon arrival, we adapted to a more relaxed itinerary, giving our kids time to adjust to the heat and time zone. We spent a week in Bangkok and two weeks on Koh Samui, making it an unforgettable family holiday! If you’re planning a trip to Thailand with kids, remember to consult your family doctor about any necessary vaccinations.
