Bring the family along on a 15-day adventure that covers the very best of Thailand. Start in Bangkok, experiencing its quieter side on a visit to Wat Pho, one of the six most important temples in the country, and a ride along the city’s famous khlongs (canals). Learn about Kanchanaburi’s history, swim in waterfall pools at Erawan National Park and meet rescued elephants at a sanctuary near Chiang Mai. You’ll be able to meet locals and get a glimpse at their lifestyles during visits to rural villages, spot wildlife in Khao Sok National Park and head out on a longtail boat on Cheow Lan Lake. Kick back and relax with free time in Krabi, then wrap up your family adventure on the pristine beaches of Phuket.

Why you'll love this trip
  • Get the kids immersed in Thai culture during visit to the to the rural village of Ban Hua Tun and a homestay in the southern in the Phrom Lok District, where they’ll learn batik painting.
  • The whole family will love exploring Chiang Mai and meeting rescued elephants at the nearby Chang Chill elephant experience.
  • Step into history at Kanchanaburi, home to the infamous 'Bridge on the River Kwai', before taking a swim in the turquoise water of Erawan waterfall.
  • Cruise along Cheow Lan Lake onboard a longtail boat and enjoy a day on one of the lake’s many islands, with the chance to kayak in search of macaques or gibbons.
  • Enjoy a full free day in Krabi to either relax on idyllic beaches, rock climb up spectacular cliffs or snorkel to your heart’s content.

Is this trip right for you?
  • You and your family will visit several temples on this trip, which means covering up arms and shoulders as per the local custom. A light scarf is a great idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
  • The weather in Thailand varies seasonally. Be prepared to get sweaty, and for the occasional rainstorm which may require a change of plans.
  • Your overnight train journey (Day 4) is quite long (approx. 12 hours). Make the most of it by checking out the scenery and chatting with other families. There's nothing quite like waking up on a sleeper train in a new and exciting destination. While bedding is supplied some families choose to bring their own sleep sheets.
