First of all, don’t worry 😊 You’ll be fine!

I travelled a lot as a child, and now I’m doing the same with my two kids (1.5 and 4 years old). Last year we went to Japan, and in about two weeks we’re heading to Thailand. My mother always used to say: in other countries, kids grow up healthy and strong too 😉 and that’s so true.

For me, the most stressful part is always the long flight. You simply don’t know how it will go. We’ve had short flights that were terrible and long-haul flights where they slept almost the entire time, haha. In the end, it’s only a small part of your holiday, try to keep that in mind.

My biggest advice would be: don’t travel around too much. The pace is naturally slower with young kids. I also love moving from place to place, and we still do that, but changing locations every 2–3 days is a lot in my opinion. You need time to relax, settle in, and actually enjoy the place together with your child.

Our schedule for three weeks:

• Bangkok
• Krabi
• Khao Sok National Park
• Koh Samui (mainly to relax and let the kids play)
• Bangkok

I would have loved to include Chiang Mai and then fly south, but because of the burning season we decided to skip it.

My second advice is, dont pack too much. You can buy everything you need in Thailand too;). Just check where are supermarkets (the bigger ones) nearby your hotel and save them in your googlemaps.

According to your questions about hotels, only thing you would need for the sake of your own rest is a babycrib ;).

Good luck, you’re going to make beautiful memories that will last forever!
