4 Very Simple Things You Can Do To Save Thailand Travel

Boasting over 15,000 mini stalls, you can buy just about anything at Chatuchak. But the coolest and most iconic is Chatuchak Weekend Market, so if you only have time for one, make sure it's this one. It's a fact (probably) that Bangkok has some of the best markets in the world.

The Island Viewpoint is a must and offers you the most breathtaking views over the fairytale islands and irresistible turquoise waters. Two gorgeous mountainous mini islands are connected by the stunning Nangyuan Island beach, accessible by a private boat from Koh Tao. Koh Nang Yuan is the answer to all of your tropical, jungle-covered, sand-strip island dreams!

Koh Nang Yuan is no ordinary island, oh no my friends! The entrance fee is 300 THB (approximately 8.30 USD) for adults and 150 THB (approximately 4 USD) for children. Explore rolling landscapes, bump along on a tractor ride, watch cows being milked, tuck into a tasty picnic or sample one of the farm's popular steaks or burgers, see deer frolicking in the trees, and more!

Chokchai Farm Top Hotel in Thailand Nakhon Ratchasima is a favourite. There are many farm attractions around Thailand where your children can learn more about agriculture and see an array of farming animals. Additional charges apply for the Panda House, 100 THB (approximately 2.70 USD) for adults and 50 THB (approximately 1.40 USD) for children, and the aquarium, 520 THB (approximately 14.40 USD) for adults and 390 THB (approximately 10.80 USD) for children.

Admission costs 150 THB (approximately 4 USD) for adults and 70 THB (approximately 2 USD) for children. It is home to many animals including adorable giant pandas, cute koalas, lumbering hippos, majestic elephants, and fearsome lions and tigers. Chiang Mai Zoo is popular with kids, and animal welfare is generally a high priority.

Trips may also include other activities, such as rafting and elephant riding, depending on your interests. Numerous operators in Chiang Mai and Phuket can organise private guided jungle treks for families, tailoring trips to the age of your children and experience levels of the whole family. Some popular child-friendly beaches around Thailand include Kata Beach in Phuket, Choeng Mon on Koh Samui, Jomtien in Chonburi (close to Pattaya), Khlong Dao on Koh Lanta, Hua Hin Beach, and Ao Wong Duen on Koh Samet (sometimes also spelt as Koh Samed).

Be aware that on quieter beaches it may be more difficult to find shaded spots. Many of the busier beaches have parasols available to rent, perfect for keeping your kids out of the blazing sunshine. For added security and safety you might want to relax on beaches that are privately operated by hotels and resorts, as these generally do have lifeguards on duty throughout the day.

It is, therefore, imperative, that you keep a close eye on your children when on the beach. Many beaches do not have lifeguards. Most major towns and cities have tuk tuks.

They are similar to motorized rickshaws. A three-wheeled vehicle with covered seating in the back, the open back and sides mean that you can all zip along the streets whilst soaking up the activity all around.
