View Map

Thailand is a wonderful destination with plenty to offer families, making it a great spot for a holiday with the kids. This trip will see you explore the vibrant city of Bangkok and ancient ruins at Ayuthaya, raft down the River Kwai, learn about rescued elephants at the Elephant Nature Park and relax with a beach stay at the end. The kids will be introduced to a whole new world when you experience a homestay with a local family in Northern Thailand, where they can learn a new language and try delicious homemade food.

The Elephant Nature Park is a highlight for most families and during your visit you'll get to wander among these amazing animals, have the chance to feed them some bananas and watch them take a bath in the river.
