Because some places are just worthy of the long-haul
With so much to pack, the threat of baby jetlag, and plane journeys that can eat up two days in one, longer trips are often sacrificed in favour of short-haul neighbours. But when it comes to the likes of Asia, distance really does make the heart grow fonder.
There’s a big importance placed on family and hospitality in these parts so tribes of all shapes and sizes are welcomed with open arms. You won’t find many kids’ or teens’ clubs, instead, it’s all about spending time together and introducing every generation to something new. Thailand embraces the culturally curious who are just dipping their toes into the continent, showing off its eclectic mixture of serene spirituality, bustling cities and chilled-out beaches. A short yet deliciously sweet tour of Singapore and Indonesia oomphs up the exploration factor, adding an emphasis on foodie culture, sustainability and natural surroundings. While the hardy souls with their teens in tow head to the cacophony that is India, leaving their culture shock behind ready to be replaced with explosions for the senses and meetings with the colourful characters both from real life and out of the pages of The Jungle Book.
