Thailand had been on our list for a while but, with two boys under ten, I had always wondered if it would be the right holiday for us. I could not have been more wrong. Thailand offers something for everyone. Whether you’re active like us and enjoy excursions and activities, or you prefer the quiet life and a relaxing retreat, Thailand ticks all the boxes.
We started our journey at Angsana Laguna Phuket, a beautiful hotel in a stunning beachfront location. The hotel was perfect for families, with options for water sports on the lagoon and plenty of pool areas to choose from. While in Phuket, we also enjoyed a longtail boat trip, one of the highlights of our time in Thailand! Our guide and driver took us around many of the islands in Phang Nga Bay, giving us lots of information along the way, and we ended the tour with a few wonderful hours at a secluded beach with breathtaking views.
From here we travelled on to Elephant Hills, the most wonderful place we have experienced as a family. While meeting the elephants and seeing them in their natural habitat was lovely, what made this a truly unforgettable experience was the warmth and friendliness of the staff and the exciting opportunities available. We kayaked through the Khao Sok National Park, paddle-boarded on the Cheow Larn Lake, and explored the jungle with an expert guide. This really is the ultimate family adventure.
Our final stop was at The Sands, Khao Lak, the perfect place to relax after a busy few days! This is a great family-friendly hotel with fantastic family rooms allowing separate spaces for both adults and children. While there’s plenty for children to do here, including a splash park, water slides, and a lazy river, there are also quieter areas of the hotel meaning there’s still space to get away from it all. We’ll never forget our beachfront dinners in the hotel, the perfect backdrop to this excellent location.
Thailand really is the perfect family destination, and we will definitely be returning to explore more of this beautiful country.

In a city known for its architectural marvels and forward-thinking design, Jumeirah Al Naseem offers a refreshing interpretation of modern coastal living.

Reopening on 2nd May 2026 after an extensive six-month renovation, Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel steps into the new season with a renewed sense of purpose. This five-star, adults-only, all-suite retreat has long been a favourite in Paphos for its calm setting and intuitive service, and the latest enhancements build on that strong foundation. Rather than reinventing what already works, the hotel has focused on refining the details – introducing new suite categories, reimagining social spaces, and subtle design updates that elevate the overall experience.
