Asia

Travelling Asia and the Middle East with kids can feel like a big leap. Different cultures, unfamiliar foods, long flights and busy cities can seem daunting at first. But some of our most memorable family adventures have come from exploring Thailand, India, Jordan and Turkey together.

From temple hopping in Thailand and island-hopping around Phuket, to standing in awe of Petra in Jordan, exploring India's incredible palaces and wildlife, and wandering through the bustling bazaars and ancient ruins of Turkey, each destination offered something completely different for our family. What surprised us most was how welcoming, family-friendly and accessible these countries were once we started planning.

This page brings together all of our detailed guides, itineraries and honest family travel advice from across Thailand, India, Jordan and Turkey. You'll find where we stayed, how we got around, what our son Joshua enjoyed most, what we'd do differently next time, and practical tips to help you plan your own adventure with confidence. Whether you're looking for beaches, culture, history, wildlife or once-in-a-lifetime experiences, these destinations delivered some of the best family memories we've ever made.
