You may have noticed this is NOT a Midweek Mini. We loved this episode and wanted to put it out sooner rather than later. So here is a full length episode on a Wednesday....Thailand has been climbing higher and higher on our travel bucket lists, and after hearing Raya's experience, we think it's going to move up yours too. Raya joins us to share how her family of five spent 12 incredible nights exploring Thailand using points, miles, hotel credits, and a little bit of flexibility. We talk through everything from flying long-haul with kids in economy and booking luxury Hyatt hotels to finding ethical elephant experiences and navigating domestic flights around the country. Raya also opens up about the travel mishaps they faced—including fake sunscreen, lost luggage, a stomach bug, and a medical emergency abroad—and how travel insurance and incredible hotel service helped turn a stressful situation into a manageable one. If Thailand is on your wish list or you're simply looking for practical family travel tips, this episode is packed with advice that will help you travel smarter and with more confidence.Mentioned in this Episode:Travel Party of 5 PodcastRelief Band - Use code WONDERLAND for 25% off!Elephant ExcursionBoat TourChasingMemories.co (travel insurance)Find Us On Online:Sign Up for the Y!
