Khao Sok With Young Ones

2 weeks ago | travelfish.org | Stuart Mcdonald

on Another thread, another question. With our 3 and 4 year old a stay on a raft accommodation seems out of the question unless I want to tie them down somewhere. The major point of going to Khao sok is seeing the lake and the cliffs from the water.

2 weeks ago | travelfish.org | Stuart Mcdonald

on Hey all! Just a bit of a luxury pickle that we’re in. Currently in Hua Hin with a 3 and 5 year old we will be going to Sam roi yot for a few days next. Beach accommodation. Next possible stops are ban krut and chumpon while Samui as well as ao Khanom are also beachy destinations on our list. In the meantime we have some city and nature planned around Nakhon Si Thammarat and Hat Yai (as well as the parks around Sam roi yot and ban krut).

A week earlier, the public had been advised against non-essential travel and contact, but it was on 23 March 2020 that Prime Minister Boris Johnson told us: “From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction – you must stay at home.”For many, it was only with the imposition of that first lockdown – the biggest ever peacetime restriction on individual freedoms – that the scale of the pandemic’s impact began to sink in. So much changed, so quickly, for all of us.

Where’s Good For The Young Folk?

Mar 16, 2025 | travelfish.org | Stuart Mcdonald

Hello all! I’m planning to hang out in Bangkok for 2 weeks at the end of April, and my 18 year old daughter and her boyfriend are coming with me. It’s an opportunity for them to do some parent-free travelling in Thailand whilst still having us not-too-far-away. (My daughter had a stroke a couple years ago so is not yet as well and independent as most 18 year olds are, hence my caution). She loves markets, temple cats and dogs and isn’t into nature much.

Where To Break Up A Trip Between Nong Khai And Bangkok

Feb 13, 2025 | travelfish.org | Stuart Mcdonald

on Hi, me again. Thank you for the other answers, we now decided to leave the big loop and head back to Bangkok by train from Nong Khai, and so, I guess you know my question from the title, if we could stop somewhere between, maybe for two nights, where would you suggest? It seems most of the stops are quite big cities, but we think the ruins at Phanomwan sound good, but would two days be enough?
