Yes, Thailand is amazing, but between the heat, long travel days, boats, ferries, crowded markets, and logistics, I wasn't convinced it was the ideal destination for families with young kids.Then, I met fellow podcaster Suzy May.

Instead of reading about history, culture, geography, and language in textbooks, children experience them firsthand through travel.Suzy’s Podcast Link: https://www.wanderworldschool.com/ A link to her Thailand specific episode: https://www.wanderworldschool.com/2504669/episodes/18789918-42-2-moms-twins-and-a-global-gap-year-why-this-primary-school-teacher-took-a-worldschooling-sabbatical-with-laurie-bevan-jackson-from-reality-of-adventure Links to places & camps we discuss in this episode:Ban’s Diving Resort: bansdivingresort.comProgression Vertical Climbing Camps: thailandclimbing.comiCamp Thailand: icampthailand.comUWC Thailand Summer Camp: uwcthailand.ac.thPSG Academy (Phuket - BCIS): bcisphuket.ac.thDream Forest: dream-forest-kpg.comRustic Pathways: rusticpathways.comProjects Abroad (Marine Conservation): projects-abroad.orgLittle Panda International Kindergarten: littlepandakpg.comSi Ri Panya International School: siripanya.comTree Yard International: treeyardinternational.comBliss Hubs (Koh Lanta/Pai): blissinvestor.com/communityPrem International School: ptis.ac.thThe Bush Camp Chiang Mai: elephanthills.com/bushcampElephant Nature Park: elephantnaturepark.orgTawan Sprouts (Waldorf): tawansprouts.comThe Purple Elephant (ELC): elc.ac.th/preschoolsAlliance Française Bangkok (Kids Programs): afthailande.orgLETS ASIA Fun Camp: letsasia.comCamp Beaumont Asia: campbeaumont.asiaKidsClie Gateway Ekkamai: kidsclie.comOurLand (Education & Research Center): ourlandthailand.comElephant Hills (Khao Sok Rainforest Camp): elephanthills.comTo learn more about Susie and her worldschooling journey, send me an email and I'll gladly connect you with her resources and podcast.If you are thinking About Your Own Thailand Adventure?And if you'd like help planning your own Thailand expedition, whether you're traveling as a couple, solo traveler, retiree, or family, I'd love to hear from you.
