During our Christmas break, we swapped presents for memories and headed to Thailand for a family-friendly adventure. From a sunrise desert tour in Abu Dhabi to exploring the vibrant streets of Chiang Mai, our 10-day trip combined culture, nature, and relaxation. We hopped on tuk tuks, wandered through bustling markets, and visited stunning temples like Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh, all while navigating the challenges of traveling with children. Along the way, we discovered local food gems, picturesque mountain resorts, and the joys (and occasional chaos) of family travel in Southeast Asia. Whether you’re planning your first visit to Chiang Mai or looking for family travel tips in Thailand, our experiences will help you make the most of your trip.

A great family adventure on a budget in the motorhome. Exploring some tourist sites and other quieter areas.

It all begins with an idea.
