While the garden of earthly delights that is Thailand used to be just a plane ride away, it is sadly out of reach for the immediate future. But the kids and I are hankering after the scent of temples filled with burning incense sticks and fragrant flower garlands. Oh, what we wouldn’t do for […] Read more…
When my mum came back from Thailand last year she literally wouldn’t shut up about some hotel called The Siam in Bangkok, and all the food she stuffed in her face while she was there. And you know I am happy that she liked it but seriously I am hardly the right person to tell […] Read more…
We review the beautiful Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 4, a green, serene oasis secreted amidst Bangkok’s towers of concrete that’s a great base in Bangkok with kids. Our recent family holiday in Bangkok was full of unexpected surprises, not least of which was the brand new and boldly beautiful Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 4, a green, serene […] Read more…
Hailed as the “Venice of the East”, Thailand’s boisterous capital offers visiting families a chaotic but cool combination of fast-paced city life and ancient culture. Bangkok is a city for all the senses with dazzling lights, the fragrant scent of street food, sprawling shrines to consumerism, and the cacophonous honking and tooting of tricked-up tuk-tuks. […] Read more…
Travel is an itch that the kids and I can’t help scratching. Instead of “are we there yet?”, my intrepid travellers, desperate to explore more of the world are more “where to next?” kids, and generally start nagging me for answers before we’ve even boarded our flight home from wherever we are. But sometimes even […] Read more…
What could be worse than more than 9 hours crammed into a tiny space with two farting and belching children, especially when they’re your own? I don’t know because somehow, we’ve won the airplane lottery and scored four seats between the three of us on our Thai Airways economy flight from Sydney to Bangkok. CHECK […] Read more…
I’m not usually one to work out much more than my tastebuds when I’m travelling, but as I walk through original, Art Deco gymnasium doors, past vintage sports posters and leather punching bags to the full-sized Muay Thai Boxing ring, I realise we have a serious contender. For my new favourite hotel, that is. The Siam […] Read more…
It’s hailed as Phuket’s must-see spectacular and as soon as my kids see the flashy video of Phuket Fantasea’s dazzling Thai dancers, acrobats, and magical illusions, they want a piece of the action. At least they do until they spot the chorus line of tarted up elephants balancing precariously on each other like giant trunky dominos. It’s […] Read more…
The brochures tell us that Koh Khai Nok is a teensy tiny island tucked away in Phang Nga Bay, surrounded by turquoise water and teeming with a ridiculous quantity of fish. And, hints the glossy flyer, being just fifteen minutes by speedboat from Phuket, Koh Khai Nok with kids is a no-brainer. After a few very busy and long […] Read more…
Phuket was like heaven for my stomach! There were so many curries, so many noodles and so many weird things to eat. Thai food is packed full of flavour and spice and I was like a vacuum cleaner sucking up everything in sight. But there was one meal that was especially amazing and that was at […] Read more…
Imagine telling your kids they’re going to attend a 68 million person strong waterfight! Then imagine them stockpiling enough watery weaponry to arm a small country (Insert the twangy guitars and whistles of ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ theme music here). Welcome to the wet and wild world of Songkran with kids. We’re lucky enough to […] Read more…
