ThailandWe’re thinking of travelling to Thailand for 6 weeks in February/March next year. Is it safe to travel to Thailand with a 10 month old baby and 3 year old toddler. Would having a 10 month old baby be more hassle than it's worth?
Ultimately this depends on your baby, your itinerary, and your own comfort zones. But overall yes Thailand is perfectly safe to visit with kids of all ages. I recently met a German family doing a six month trip with a one-, three- and six-year old and they were having a great time! Aside from the general family travel advice in this guide, my most important recommendation for February/March is to stick to the southern beaches and islands, as further north the air quality can be awful at that time of year.
