Tailor Made Family Holidays to Thailand

Chiang Mai – Elephants, Temples & Mountain Adventures

Chiang Mai is the cultural soul of northern Thailand, where families can explore ancient temples, wander colourful markets, and join hands-on activities such as a Thai cooking class. Children will love meeting gentle giants at an ethical elephant sanctuary and learning about local traditions in the Old City.

Jungle Ziplines & Craft Villages 

Add excitement with a zipline adventure through the rainforest, visit artisan villages to see crafts being made, or for a peaceful escape, take a day trip into the mountains for nature walks and waterfalls.

Easy Flights from Bangkok

A short flight from the capital makes Chiang Mai a simple and rewarding addition to your family itinerary, offering a balance of culture, adventure, and relaxation.

Chiang Rai with Kids – Temples, Art & Northern Wonders

Chiang Rai offers a quieter, more artistic alternative to Chiang Mai, perfect for families seeking something unique. Children will be amazed by the dazzling White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) with its fairy-tale details, and the vibrant Blue Temple with its striking interiors.

Black House, Golden Triangle & Nature Trails

Explore the quirky Black House Museum with its bold, unusual art, or take a day trip to the Golden Triangle where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet. Families can also enjoy gentle boat rides on the Mekong River, visit hill tribe villages, or wander scenic countryside trails.

💡Top Tip – Combine with Chiang Mai

Chiang Rai is around a 3–4 hour drive from Chiang Mai, making it ideal for a short add-on. Stay overnight for a relaxed pace and to see the highligts without rushing. 

Khao Sok National Park with Kids – Jungle, Lakes & Floating Stays

Khao Sok is Thailand’s ultimate jungle adventure, ideal for families with a sense of exploration. The star attraction is Cheow Lan Lake, a breathtaking emerald reservoir dotted with towering limestone cliffs. Stay in a floating bungalow, a tree house or a luxury tented camp for a truly unique experience.

Boat Safaris, Wildlife & Cave Exploration

Take a long-tail boat safari to spot monkeys and hornbills, go kayaking on the lake, or explore caves with experienced guides. On land, gentle jungle walks reveal waterfalls and lush scenery. Older children will love the adventure; younger ones will enjoy the boat trips and wildlife spotting. If you go on a night safari, remember to look out for the tiny, shy mouse-deer!

💡Top Tip – Combine with Khao Lak or Krabi

Khao Sok is about two hours from Khao Lak and three hours from Krabi or Phuket, making it easy to pair with a beach stay for a perfect jungle-and-sea family holiday.

Phuket & Khao Lak with Kids – Resorts, Beaches & Easy Access

Phuket is Thailand’s most famous island, offering family resorts, lively beaches, and plenty of activities. Spend time on Kata or Kamala Beach, visit the Big Buddha, or enjoy a fun-filled day at a water park. For something quieter, head north to Khao Lak, a peaceful beach destination with luxury resorts and soft sandy shores.

Boat Trips, Wildlife & Adventure Parks

Families can take boat trips to the Phi Phi Islands or James Bond Island, visit an ethical elephant sanctuary, or have a fun day at an adventure park with zip lines and rope courses.

Khao Lak is also a great base for exploring the Similan Islands, known for incredible snorkelling and diving.

💡Top Tip – Try Khao Lak instead

With an airport and plenty of family-friendly resorts, Phuket is one of the easiest places to start your Thai beach holiday, however it is also one of the busiest.  Khao Lak, just an hour away, offers a calmer, more nature-focused alternative.

Koh Lanta with Kids – Relaxed Vibes & Long Sandy Beaches

Koh Lanta is a laid-back island perfect for families who love wide, uncrowded beaches and a slower pace. Children can play safely on calm stretches like Klong Dao Beach, while parents enjoy sunset views from beachfront cafés.

Nature Trails, Kayaking & Snorkelling Trips

Explore the island’s mangrove forests by kayak, take a day trip to Koh Rok for snorkelling in crystal-clear waters, or visit Lanta Animal Welfare for an educational and heartwarming experience. Older children will enjoy cycling around the island or discovering the old town’s wooden houses.

💡Top Tip – A Family Favourite

Koh Lanta is less touristy than Phuket and Phi Phi, offering space, peace, and a family-friendly atmosphere without losing comfort or charm.

Krabi with Kids – Beaches, Cliffs & Island Hopping

Krabi is a stunning coastal region known for its dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and family-friendly beaches. Relax on Ao Nang Beach, take a long-tail boat to Railay for a day of adventure, or explore caves and viewpoints for unforgettable scenery.

Island Adventures, Snorkelling & Hot Springs

Families can island-hop to Koh Poda or Hong Islands for swimming and snorkelling, or kayak through mangrove forests for a dose of nature. For something unique, visit the Emerald Pool and Krabi Hot Springs to soak in warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by jungle.

💡Top Tip – Combine with Koh Lanta

Krabi is well-connected to Koh Lanta by ferry or car transfer, making it easy to combine beach time with a quieter island vibe.

Koh Samui with Kids – Beaches, Waterfalls & Island Fun

Koh Samui is a tropical paradise for families, with calm sandy beaches perfect for swimming and play. Stay in a luxury resort, explore colorful temples like Wat Plai Laem, and cool off under Na Muang Waterfalls. Kids will love coconut ice cream and spotting cheeky monkeys in the trees.

Boat Trips, Snorkeling & Fisherman’s Village

Take a boat trip to Ang Thong Marine Park for kayaking and snorkeling in emerald lagoons, or spend a relaxed evening at Fisherman’s Village with beachfront dining and lively night markets. For little explorers, a day trip to Koh Phangan or Koh Tao adds extra adventure.
