Land of Smiles Family Holiday
Spending a night as guests in a local village (optional) is a real adventure and allows a unique glimpse into another way of life – the interaction between their children and yours will become a highlight of the trip!Heading south, you’ll slow right down for a few days on the quiet tropical island of Koh Samet - where the kids can play on whitesand beaches - before journeying north to Chiang Mai, famous throughout Thailand for its night market and friendly atmosphere.
Your adventure in Thailand begins with an exhilarating ride by long-tailed boat along Bangkok’s canals. You’ll pause at fantastic temples with their golden spires, bizarre statues and saffron-robed Buddhist monks.
