ETG Make Family Holidays Fun & Easy
1. Short on time? We’ve got you. Life’s busy—we understand. Let our experts handle the planning so you can focus on the fun.
2. Tailored by parents, for parents. We’ve travelled in Thailand with our own kids, so we know exactly what makes a family trip work (and what doesn’t).
3. Balance adventure with relaxation. Share eye-opening experiences, all together. Keep teens entertained with hands-on, cultural activities (and off their screens) with room to explore—while you unwind with a well-earned poolside G&T.
4. Seamless, safe, and hassle-free. Our expert guides, smooth logistics, and handpicked family-friendly hotels mean you can fully relax and have a proper holiday.
5. Moments that matter. Get joy from watching your kids try new things, step outside their comfort zones, and—who knows—maybe even talk to you. These are the memories that last a lifetime.

THE BEST TIMES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN THAILAND
The school summer holidays are a cracking time to bask in the sunshine on the beaches strung along the south-east coast.
You can celebrate Christmas with a twist in Thailand, enjoying balmy weather (around 25°C) in Bangkok and time on the beach. There's also little rainfall in the north, but if you plan on venturing into the highlands, prepare for slightly cooler temperatures at night.
April sees wonderful weather across most of Thailand, making it a great place to visit during the Easter holidays. It's likely to feel hot – but not oppressively so – in Bangkok (around 30°C). If you like the sound of sun-infused beaches, head to the Andaman Coast on the southern peninsula of Thailand.

THE BEST PLACES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN THAILAND
In our eyes, the best destinations in Thailand for families are:
Buzzy Bangkok, of course. A sleepy island like Koh Jum for a dose of R&R (for teens needing to blow off some steam, there are plenty of activities, too).
Khao Sok National Park for a proper off-piste adventure. Here, you’ll kayak across the glassy lake, walk through the evergreen jungle and have supper under the stars, before drifting off to sleep in your very own treehouse. Unbeatable.
Phayao Province – where few tourists go – for a fantastic family homestay experience. You'll be taken under the wing of a community in Baan That Sob Van, interacting with the lovely Thai Lue people and digging into their delicious, distinctive cuisine.
Thailand has plenty of places that are great for all ages. Our specialists are up to speed with the very best spots and will make recommendations depending on what you’re looking for, how old your children are, and – the all-important question – what excites you most, as individuals as well as all together. Explore your options with our travel team today.
THE FINEST FAMILY-FRIENDLY HOTELS IN THAILAND
There are lots of 'em. Our travel team will help cherry-pick the ones that are right for you and your family (one thing’s for sure, they’ll either have a pool or be right on the water – vital when travelling with teens in Thailand). Here are a few of our favourites: from a hidden gem in Bangkok to a treehouse hotel and rustic, comfortable beach retreats:
ARIYASOM VILLA, BANGKOK
The Siam, Bangkok
RAYA HERITAGE, CHIANG MAI
OUR JUNGLE HOUSE, KHAO SOK NATIONAL PARK
KOYAO ISLAND RESORT, KO YAO ISLAND
BABA ECO LODGE, KOH PHRA THONG
