One thing we can never really regret is taking a family vacation with the kids. The best family vacations offer something fun and fascinating for every member of the family — though of course not always all at the same time. At the end of the trip, however, everyone will always have to admit that after all the best vacations for kids and grown-ups had a little, or a lot, of something for everyone!
So this is the goal we aspire to when planning one of these great events of life — and the best family vacations really are some of the important building blocks of life. We always have these wonderful times spent together to remember and cherish forever. And no doubt we’ll have a load of great photos as well.
With so much to offer for all ages, a Thailand family vacation has always been a fantastic thing to do. In fact, not only is it increasing in popularity, but the Thailand family vacation option is getting even hotter due to the expansion of more and better family friendly places in Thailand and, importantly, the best all inclusive resorts for families such as V Villas Hua Hin just a few hours south of Bangkok.
Nowadays, you have an incredible number of family friendly places in Thailand to choose from. A Thailand family vacation is so much better than it was decades ago, particularly as the country’s capital city, Bangkok, has taken the world stage over the past couple of years as the most visited city on earth.
Thailand has taken its rightful place among the world’s great holiday destinations. People can honestly say that some of the best vacations for kids can happen right here in the Land of Smiles.
Certainly the enormous metropolis of Bangkok offers scads of things to do on a Thailand family vacation. But many other great places, which may very well also be among the best vacations for kids, lie outside the capital of Thailand.
A seaside trip is always going to be another popular trip among the best family vacations. Of course it is all the better in the warm and sunny tropical climate of Thailand.
Just imagine a seaside holiday town that has everything you have been looking for in the other destinations around the country. Visualize a destination not only with the most family friendly places in Thailand and the best all inclusive resorts for families, but also one that is utterly beautiful and exudes a sense of tranquility like no other spot on earth. Do all this and you are thinking of one place only, and that place is Hua Hin, Thailand.
Hua Hin is the perfect distance from the city. Not too far to become a major trek, but far enough away to feel you are really getting away from it all on a Thailand family vacation to where you will find a wonderful variety of some of the absolute best family friendly places in Thailand. And certainly the best all inclusive resorts for families to be found in the country, or perhaps in all of South East Asia!
Let’s just take a look at some of the really incredible benefits and advantages to planning one of the best family vacations you and the kids have all ever had, right here in enchanting and unforgettable Hua Hin.
There are ten major reasons you need to do this, and here they are:
1. Beach
As we all know, kids both big and small love the beach. But wait … Who doesn’t love the beach? Hua Hin has got a long stretch of white sandy beach that simply seems to go on forever. At its center are some climbable slabs of large boulders—more fun for the kids no doubt, or even for dad getting his own selfie moment! These boulders are what Hua Hin, which means Rocky Head in the Thai language, is named for.
2. It’s nearby!
Hua Hin is located in the Thai province of Prachuab Khiri Khan. This is along the western coast of the Gulf of Thailand, and is actually less than three hours’ drive south of Bangkok on a good traffic day. At around 198 km to the town of Hua Hin, it is usually not much more than three hours by car.
3. Look what I’m eating!
Hua Hin has the eats. And it has a lot of them in all kinds of fascinating varieties, from fresh seafood to mouthwatering Italian.
You’ll also find a high degree of “Wow!” moment creative dishes, such as at cool spots like the Scoop Beach Café, that your bigger young ones will love taking photos of, to post on Instagram and show all their friends back home the amazing food you can find in Hua Hin, Thailand!
4. No more rainy day worries!
Let’s face it, the rains come and ago during parts of the year on a tropical coast on the Gulf of Thailand. We can’t change that, but what we can do is have fun anyway in Hua Hin.
There are lots of fun things to do indoors here while it’s raining outdoors. Some of these will go a long ways toward creating the best vacations for kids. Places like the For Art’s Sake 4D Museum, which is a mind-boggling combination of 3D art and sound that actually seems to put you inside the work of art will delight the entire family. It will also offer photo ops such as no one back home has ever seen before.
5. It’s Affordable
One great thing about Hua Hin is you can find fun and fantastic things to do in so many places, and the prices of food and shopping won’t torture your debit or credit card.
6. Animals!
One thing universal about children is they love animals. Horseback riding on the beach is many people’s idea of a very pleasant ride, as you trot along the surf. Or you can also arrange an elephant ride — one of the symbols of Thailand — and stroll around the hills and through the vineyards of Hua Hin, one of the few places in Thailand where wine grapes are grown.
7. Family friendly beach
When it comes to best all inclusive resorts for families, give V Villas Hua Hin a strong vote for having it all. Arts and crafts abound for the little ones. Trips to fascinating caves and national parks. Golf for Dad and our luxurious V Spa for Mom. Then get together at other times for a hilarious banana boat ride! V Villas Hua Hin’s Concierge will help you plan it all perfectly.
8. Incredible water parks
Hua Hin just happens to host two of the region’s most incredible water parks. Now if that’s not going to explode your kids’ happy meter, nothing will!
Vana Nava Water Jungle offers a lush and natural theme and 21 amazing rides and slides. Some of these are actually the biggest and fastest in Thailand, and even in Asia!
Black Mountain is a bit smaller with nine slides, but it has seven different types of pools for swimming and doing what parents like to do while the kids are having fun — relax!
9. Private pool villa
A stay in a private pool villa at V Villas Hua Hin brings together the family in privacy and fun, enjoying uninterrupted good times together, waited on by your personal 24-hour butler. You’ll don’t have to worry about anything but enjoying your Thailand family vacation together.
10. Memories
Hua Hin is a great place to make a memorable family moment. Watching the sunrise while the monks walk the sands at dawn accepting offerings, or the sunset together while the beautifully gentle tides of the Gulf shimmer under the tranquil light … These are precious times that everyone will cherish for the rest of their lives. You can build them here, in Hua Hin.
