THAILAND with family (Bangkok+Chiang Mai)

THAILAND with family (Bangkok+Chiang Mai)
This family's experience:

Activities: We pedaled in the park and discovered the ancient city within the historical park, surrounded by a large wall. We rented bikes for the day, with a child seat in front or a seat for older children at the back. We could bring our picnic or buy food inside

Highlights: We loved the large, superb, and deserted temples, more or less in ruins, lost in the vegetation. It was ideal with the children by bike, on flat ground, and safe because cars are prohibited ✨
