Family Adventure Vacations in Thailand
Imagine washing elephants at an elephant sanctuary, eating pancakes on the street at midnight, ogling giant Buddhas or swimming in clear blue waters. That’s a Thailand family holiday. Thailand, ‘the land of smiles’, has long been one of Asia’s most compelling and enticing family destinations. Combining the amazing beaches and islands of the South, famously delectable cuisine, an exotic, ancient culture and the hill tribe villages of the North, Thailand offers the perfect family vacation.
Cosmopolitan, Bangkok is a shopper’s paradise, but under the shadows of the skyscrapers lie golden temples and frenetic markets. Chiang Mai, home to its famous Night Market, moves at a slower, more relaxed pace and is the gateway for treks to the fabled Golden Triangle, elephant encounters and other exciting outdoor Thailand family adventures.
