Terms & ConditionsThis trip has a fabulous pace to it. There's plenty of action, and lots of room for quality family time in which to play, swim or stroll in some of Thailand's most amazing coastal and jungle destinations
A long-tail boat trip on the canals is the perfect introduction to Bangkok. Follow it up with a visit to Wat Pho, where the larger-than-life reclining Buddha will blow your mind
The food is excellent, there's a great spread of local restaurants, and your Ban Hua Tung homestay takes the hospitality to the next level, with home cooking and a cultural dance perfomance
Lovely hotels with are ideal for the family, making everyone nice and comfortable in each location
The activities in Chiang Mai are both fun and educational. One minute you're walking with rescued elephants, the next you're walking through the sacred foothills of Chiang Dao learning about natural medicines and wild foods
Prepare for hot and sticky temperatures during the day, but cooler climates in the evening. Layers are the best way to tackle this. Be sure to also drink plenty of water and use sun protection.
You'll 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.
Your overnight train journey (Day 4) is quite long. Make the most of it by checking out the scenery and chatting with local travellers. There's nothing quite like waking up on a sleeper train in a new and exciting destination.
The accommodation is basic at your homestay (with fold-out mattresses and shared facilities), but the experience of spending time with a local family in their home will more than make up for the lack of creature comforts.

Our family trip to Thailand was amazing. We had the opportunity to do so much more than we expected. Accommodation excellent (each hotel also had a pool), transport good. Would highly recommend. A great mix of free time versus organised activity. Our first trip with intrepid (and first holiday with guided tour) - could not fault. Would highly recommend.

It can be difficult to book a family holiday - with young kids, it can seem like everyone's holiday happiness rests on the parent who does the organising! Travelling with Intrepid completely removed that worry. We were safe, the schedule was perfect (with the right degree of flexibility), our guide was kind and knowledgeable, and we had the privilege of spending time together as a family and learn about a new culture and natural environment. I highly recommend Intrepid Travel for travelling as a family!
