Thailand with Kids Part 2: Chiang Mai, Koh Samui & Koh Tao – Mountains, Beaches & Island Adventures
After exploring the colourful chaos of Bangkok, the history of River Kwai and the jungle adventures around Kanchanaburi, it was time for a completely different side of Thailand. Our next stop was Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, surrounded by green mountains, ancient temples and a much slower pace of life. From there, we travelled south towards the islands of the Gulf of Thailand: Koh Samui and Koh Tao. This combination turned out to be the perfect balance for our family. We had culture, nature and adventure — but also plenty of time to relax, swim and simply enjoy being together. Because let’s be honest… after travelling around with children, a few days of beach life are always very welcome!

Chiang Mai with Kids: Our 5-Day Adventure in Northern Thailand
After the busy streets, traffic jams and endless energy of Bangkok, arriving in Chiang Mai feels like stepping into a different Thailand. Located in the north of the country, Chiang Mai is Thailand’s second-largest city, but it has a completely different atmosphere. The pace is slower, the streets are greener and there is a wonderful mix of ancient temples, delicious food, local markets and beautiful nature. For us, Chiang Mai was the perfect next stop during our two-week Thailand adventure. We wanted to experience more than just beaches and cities — we wanted to discover the culture, meet local people and experience the magic of northern Thailand. Getting to Chiang Mai is easy. You can travel by bus, train or plane from Bangkok. Because we were travelling with limited time, we chose comfort and booked a short flight with Thai Airways. Within just over an hour, we went from the busy capital to the peaceful north.
