We leave for Phuket in 2 weeks. I have been spending some time researching - things to do, cultural expectations, currency, health considerations etc etc. It's all very new and exciting for us as a family who has never even been to Bali! (Of course we spend all our holidays travelling around Australia or going to New Zealand!) but it's the thought of flying with an 18 month old for 7 hours that has me freaked out! Once we get there I'm feeling pretty confident as the Thais apparently love children and make them welcome wherever you go. There is of course heaps of family friendly stuff to do in Phuket.
The crazy part of me wishes we could get in a car and drive there! We are experts at car trips with kids after all. Being in a car means kids are strapped in, they're not squirming to get out of your arms and run up and down the aisles. You also don't need to worry about disturbing other travellers - everyone hates a screaming toddler on the plane!
Anyway, I must value this opportunity to expand my travelling with children expertise. People do it all the time it can't be that bad...
Having said all that if you have any tips for me they would be appreciated.
Cheers
i suppose it makes travelling a lot more complicated when the kids are involved. Goog luck though it will be a great learning process i am sure!! directline-holidays
