When we first visited Chiang Mai, Thailand, we were travelling without kids and only had a short time to explore. Years later, when we were putting together our Thailand itinerary with kids, we knew we wanted to return. This time, we spent six days exploring Chiang Mai with kids, who were just 3 and 5 years old at the time.

Bali with Kids: Our 5-Day Family Itinerary in Ubud
Bali was one of the destinations we were most excited about during our family trip to Indonesia. With its beautiful temples, lush rice terraces, tropical jungles and endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, there are so many fun things to do in Bali with kids. We had five days to explore the island and wanted to experience as much as possible while still choosing activities our kids would enjoy.

Pulau Weh with Kids: Our 2-Day Family Itinerary
When we planned our family trip through Indonesia, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect from Pulau Weh.

We visited Singapore with kids twice as bookends to a three-week family trip through Indonesia, which gave us the chance to experience two very different sides of the city. On our first visit, we stayed in central Singapore and focused on family-friendly attractions like Singapore Zoo, Gardens by the Bay and the ArtScience Museum. When we returned at the end of our trip, we stayed on Sentosa Island for a few days of waterparks, the Singapore Oceanarium and other kid-friendly activities.

500 Rai Floating Resort Review
The last time we visited Thailand for Christmas, we spent a week in Phuket with kids. Now, 5 years later on our second family trip to Thailand we were looking for an experience to top that. When we discovered the 500 Rai Floating Resort in Khao Sok National Park, we knew we had a family Christmas trip we wouldn’t soon forget. This 500 Rai Floating Resort review is based on our 4 night stay over Christmas with our two kids (aged 8 & 10).
Seoul with Kids
When it comes to family travel in Asia, South Korea often gets overlooked in favor of the tourism powerhouses like Thailand, Indonesia or Japan. But that’s a bit of a shame, as visiting Seoul with kids can be an excellent family vacation destination.
