I LOVE Koh Samui! There, I’ve said it! I love the atmosphere, the activities, the people, the many restaurants, markets and hotels. BUT sometimes I just want to escape the busyness of it all, the commerciality, the fact that it’s pretty tough to still find an authentic slice of Thai. That’s why Taling Ngam, Koh
One of the things I loved about Koh Samui was the many modern, relaxed restaurants with great views out to sea. They’re all super child friendly and we often spent several hours over lazy dinners and cocktails whilst the kids played in the sand. If you’re wondering where to eat near the fisherman’s village on

Much loved by backpackers looking for cheap deals, market shoppers looking for a steal and groups of friends making good use of the many bars, the Khao San road is one of the liveliest areas in Bangkok. But is it worth it (and safe) to visit with kids? I’d say that’s a big fat yes
Bangkok is a fantastic city to visit with kids, it’s colourful, spiritual and full of family friendly things to do. If you’re looking for a family friendly hotel, Bangkok has so many options. Back in 2015, my daughter and I stayed at the Anantara in Sathorn. We liked it so much, on our recent visit
