We love traveling the world with our kids, but time and time again we find ourselves drawn back to Thailand. Of all the places we’ve visited, Chiang Mai is one of our absolute favorite destinations to explore with kids. This vibrant and welcoming city has something for everyone – rich cultural heritage, incredible food, colorful markets, stunning temples, and a laid-back charm that makes it easy to enjoy as a family.

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).
Three Days in Kanchanaburi with Kids
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.
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.
