Kanchanaburi is best known as the home of The Bridge over the River Kwai, but we chose to visit there on our Thailand family vacation for the amazing outdoor activities. In our three days in Kanchanaburi with kids (aged 3 & 5), we were able to do our three favorite outdoor activities; hiking, biking and kayaking.
Thailand
Chiang Mai Elephant Nature Park with Kids
One of our top priorities for our family trip to Thailand was to take our small kids to an elephant sanctuary. Sadly, there are many elephant parks in Thailand which mistreat the animals, so we did a lot of research to find an ethical elephant camp. We were happy to find a great option during our visit to Chiang Mai with kids.
3 Days in Ayutthaya with Kids
Ayutthaya is the former capital of Siam and was once one of the world’s most important cities. It was nearly destroyed by a Burmese attack in 1767, but we are fortunate that enough temple ruins remain to give us a feel for what this incredible city was like in its prime.
We spent 3 days in Aytutthaya with our two kids, aged 3 & 5, during our family trip to Thailand in December. We were a little worried about the temples being too boring for them, but they never complained once.

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 Christmas trip to Thailand 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).
Best Beaches in Thailand for Families
We have traveled to many amazing beach destinations with our kids, yet we always want to come back to Thailand. We love our family trips to Thailand for so many reasons. The people are warm & friendly, the food is amazing, and the countryside is beautiful. But, without question the main reason we love coming back is the amazing beaches in Thailand for families.
Thailand is blessed with an incredible amount of tropical coastline, and one day we hope to see all the best beaches in Thailand. We have been to most of the family-friendly destinations in Thailand, including Phuket, Ao Nang/Railay and Koh Lanta. Based on our trips to Thailand with kids, we are happy to share our list of the best beaches in Thailand for families.
A Family Friendly Chiang Mai Bike Tour
Chiang Mai is blessed with a beautiful, mountainous Northern Thailand setting. This means that in addition to the cultural activities, there are plenty of excellent outdoor activities as well. During our family trip to Chiang Mai, we achieved this with a Chiang Mai bike tour in the countryside. Our kid-friendly bike tour through the countryside was a real highlight of our time in Chiang Mai with kids.
Koh Lanta with Kids
On our last Thailand family vacation, we spent a week in Phuket with our kids. Phuket was amazing, but the one downside was how crazy busy it was. This time around we wanted a more relaxed vibe for our family beach time in Thailand. After a little research, visiting Koh Lanta with kids seemed to be the perfect beach destination for our family trip to Thailand.
