Three generations. One incredible adventure. A Christmas and New Year to remember.
When this family of five came to me, they wanted to spend Christmas and New Year doing something special together. Not just another family holiday, but a real adventure that would bring three generations together and create memories they'd talk about for years to come.
Thailand was a fantastic fit. The challenge was finding the right balance: exciting experiences, time to explore, opportunities to relax and an itinerary that worked for everyone, including Grandma, without too much travelling around.
Here's how we made it happen. 👇
🏙️ Bangkok: city life
A vibrant introduction to Thailand, exploring beautiful temples, bustling markets and incredible street food. I recommended staying in the Riverside area, giving them a calmer base while keeping the city's sights within easy reach.
🐘 Elephant Hills: jungle adventure
Next came a stay in a luxury safari tent at Elephant Hills, combining time with the elephants, jungle trekking, boating and time to enjoy the pool.
This was a real highlight of the trip, but Christmas is an incredibly busy time in Thailand and the camp was almost fully booked. I managed to secure one of the last available dates that worked for their itinerary.
🌴 Khao Lak: beach time and New Year celebrations
After all that adventure, it was time to slow down. We chose Khao Lak for its laid back atmosphere and a beach resort where everyone could unwind. They celebrated New Year with a gala dinner, which they told me was fantastic.
The result? A holiday that brought together city exploration, an unforgettable jungle experience and some well-earned beach time, all thoughtfully planned around three generations of travellers.
This is what I love about tailor-made travel. It's about understanding what matters to you, finding the right experiences and bringing everything together into a holiday that feels right for your family.
If you've been dreaming of an adventure with your family but aren't sure where to start, I'd love to help you turn that dream into a reality.
