Thailand Family Tours

This incredibly unique travel experience does just what it says on the tin – roof. You’re in charge of your very own three person (you can also travel with two kids and two adults) tuk tuk as part of a small convoy. You’ll be led by an experienced lead guide/driver and supported by other guides and mechanics in a back up vehicle. Convoys are never more than seven tuk tuks – usually far fewer – and the lead tuk tuk is always in walkie talkie contact with the following support vehicle to ensure everyone can keep on truckin’ without having to worry about what’s around the next bend.

Don't try to squeeze the entire country into one trip; all the more so when travelling with the kids. For example, try a five-day jaunt to the mountains up north, followed by five days of beach time in the south and a few days exploring the capital, Bangkok. Or, if you’ve got the time, try an overland loop through several regions. Alternatively, relax on a single island – or an archipe...
