We recently traveled to Koh Samui for two weeks, marking our first visit to this beautiful island. With our four-year-old daughter, Emilia, accompanying us, we made sure to plan a relaxing and child-friendly itinerary.

While our family were visiting the island of Koh Samui, we embarked on several fascinating day tours. One of these tours stood out as an unforgettable experience, and we believe it is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Thailand.

As a traveling family with a keen interest in culture and traditional dishes, we've had the pleasure of tasting various cuisines from around the world.

We are excited to share our experiences and emotions from our visit to an incredible place on Koh Samui island – Elephant Kingdom Sanctuary, an elephant sanctuary!

Koh Samui is a stunning island located in the Gulf of Thailand, renowned for its palm-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs. It offers a blend of natural beauty, cultural landmarks, and a lively nightlife, making it a perfect destination for both relaxation and adventure.

When our family decided to take a vacation to Koh Samui, a picturesque island in Thailand, we had high expectations for our adventure. Little did we know that from the moment we landed, we would be enchanted by the unique charm of this tropical paradise.

One of our favorite activities in Bangkok was watching the sunset. In this city, surrounded by skyscrapers, the setting sun creates breathtaking views.

Having visited Bangkok with my husband before our child was born, we had already experienced the city’s rich cultural heritage. Back then, we dedicated our trip to exploring the city’s renowned temples, delving into the local religion, and soaking in the historical atmosphere.

Nestled in the heart of the Indian Ocean, Thoddoo Island is a hidden gem offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, culture, and adventure. Unlike the bustling resort islands, Thoddoo provides a tranquil retreat with plenty of activities and experiences to enjoy.

Chennai, the bustling capital of Tamil Nadu, is a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity. Its rich cultural heritage, vibrant street life, and historic architecture make it one of India's most interesting cities. Whether you're an art lover, a history enthusiast, or a curious traveler, there's something in Chennai for everyone.

After our enchanting stay in Sri Lanka, we decided that a visit to India was a must. With only a week to spare, we knew that this would be a brief introduction to a vast country, but we were eager to catch a glimpse of what India has to offer.

In our article, we share our family's experience traveling to Sri Lanka with our four-year-old daughter. Our journey was crafted to balance exploration and relaxation, focusing on a few select destinations rather than attempting to cover the entire country. This approach allowed us to enjoy Sri Lanka at a pace that suited our young traveler, exploring kid-friendly spots and soaking in the local culture without the stress of constant movement.

In January, my family and I decided to visit the Maldives. However, upon looking at the prices of resort islands, we were taken aback. Moreover, the idea of flying to a resort only to spend an entire week lying on the beach did not appeal to us. Such leisure was not our cup of tea.

Phuket vs. Krabi is the choice many tourists are struggling to make simply because these are two of the most popular destinations in Thailand. We've been to both of the places, so we're going to try to save you time and help you make a quick decision.

Singapore is one of the marvels of South East Asia - a true state of art of modern civilization. Visiting this city at least once in your lifetime is a must. And it has so much to offer to a traveler with great wanderlust.

Bangkok is perhaps one of the most visited cities in the world by tourists. Perhaps because to us westerners, it is so exotic, or perhaps because it's a stop on the way to Thailand's best beach resorts (read Phuket vs Krabi). Most likely it's for both of these reasons.
