Itinerary

Welcome to Thailand, an awesome family vacation destination with fascinating culture, welcoming people, stunning sandy beaches, and kid-friendly hotels! Once you and your family arrive in Bangkok, a local private guide will wait outside the airport to transfer you to your hotel. Check-in and have a good rest.

  • Bangkok

With an experienced, family-friendly guide at the side, an interesting sightseeing tour will expose you and your kids to Bangkok's hustle and bustle capital, experiencing their culture, history, and life. Since it's a private tour, you and your family can explore this charming city at your own pace.

Marvel at the Grand Palace, Bangkok's most famous and popular landmark. This palace complex, covering an area of about 218,000 square meters, consists of many awe-inspiring buildings with impressive mosaic details including the sacred Wat Phra Kaew.

Stroll through the flower and vegetable market, the biggest wholesale market in Thailand. It will be a feast for the senses: the air is filled with strong fragrances, and colorful flowers are made into delicate garlands and intricate displays.

After that, hop on a long-tail boat cruising through Bangkok's canals, where traditional stilt houses and a tranquil way of life will captivate you. From the boat, admire Wat Arun's stunning beauty - its colorful ceramic decorations make it appear like a gleaming jewel from afar.

The final stop is the fantastic Wat Po, one of Bangkok's oldest and most iconic temples. Known for its 46-meter golden Buddha, it is also a UNESCO heritage site and a hub for traditional Thai massage.

Kid-friendly Activity: Enjoy an exciting long-tail boat ride through Bangkok's canals, spotting temples and stilt houses along the way.

Next, visit the iconic Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Cruise along the winding waterways, passing colorful stalls and vendors' canoes piled high with tropical fruits, fresh foods, clothes, and local goods. The lively sights, sounds, and aromas create an immersive, authentic experience, perfect for capturing stunning photos. Upon arrival in Kanchanaburi, take some time to relax and settle in at your hotel.

Embark on a scenic adventure in Kanchanaburi, where history and nature's beauty blend seamlessly. Designed to captivate your senses and enrich your family's journey, a visit to Kanchanaburi offers more than just a history lesson—it's a feast for the eyes as well.

Though the Hellfire Pass Museum warrants a brief mention, the real stars of this journey are the landscapes. Journey to the railway station near Krasae Cave. Here, the railway snakes along a cliff edge, overlooking the tranquil River Kwai below. Capture a few photos; they'll look like postcards.

Conclude your unforgettable day with a relaxing saunter on the Bridge over the River Kwai. Recently revamped, the bridge now features a pedestrian-friendly walkway and cozy side platforms—perfect for taking in the lush panoramas of Kanchanaburi. Bring a camera, because you won't want to miss the chance to snap some memories against a stunning backdrop.

Chiang Mai, the largest city in the northern mountainous area of Thailand, has so much to see and do. Why not join a small group, cycling through the streets of Chiang Mai towards the Ping River? Following the river downstream with a soft breeze and nice views around the river, you will discover the real rural Thailand.

Elephants have been of special significance in Thailand's history, tradition, culture and the royal family for centuries since the old Siam. Today, you and your family will spend the whole day at Elephant Nature Park, getting up close to these beautiful creatures. You will take a walk around the park to observe the elephants roaming freely in the jungle, playing in the river and covering themselves with sand after bathing. What's more, you will have the opportunity to visit some other rescued animals, such as dogs and cats. There is no strict schedule in the park, so the best way to make the most of your visit is to relax, watch, and learn about elephants.

Kid-friendly Activity: Meeting, feeding, and observing rescued elephants in their natural habitat will be an unforgettable highlight for children.

  • Chiang Mai

There is no better way to experience the local life in Chiang Mai than visiting a traditional Lanna family. They live in teak wooden houses in the suburbs of Chiang Mai and continue the Lanna traditions from generation after generation.

Here you will learn the history and structures of this building, take a walk through the orchard that is filled with fruits such as bananas and mangoes, pick up fresh herbs and organic vegetables from the garden, and try to cook some home-made Northern Thai lunch with the help of the host.

Kid-friendly Activity: Hands-on cooking with a Lanna family and picking fresh herbs from the garden is a fun and educational farm-to-table experience for kids.
