Arrive in Bangkok
Suvarnabhumi Airport to a hotel near the Chao Phraya River
- Dinner
- Stay in Bangkok
- Drive about 45 min
We meet you at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and drive you to a hotel close to the Chao Phraya River, about 45 minutes away when the traffic is kind.
Afternoon
The afternoon is for sleeping off the flight or a swim in the hotel pool, which matters more with children after a long journey than any sight.
Evening
In the early evening your See Sight Tours guide meets the families in the lobby for a short briefing: how the next two weeks work, what the children will need for temples (covered knees and shoulders), and how money and SIM cards work in three countries. Then we walk or take a short river boat to a welcome dinner at a Thai restaurant with dishes that suit cautious eaters as well as adventurous ones, from fried rice and satay to green curry. If your flight lands late, we meet you at breakfast instead and keep a plate warm for the morning.
Included
- Pick-up at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)
- Family briefing with your guide
- Welcome dinner
Free time: Afternoon free to rest or swim
Bangkok's Grand Palace and Wat Arun
The Grand Palace, then across the river to Wat Arun
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Bangkok
- By boat
We start early, because Bangkok is hottest after 11 am and the Grand Palace is calmest in its first hour. We walk in at opening, around 8:30 am, and your guide and a local guide take the children round Wat Phra Kaew, the temple of the Emerald Buddha, and the murals of the Ramakien that run along its cloister walls, with giant demon guardians at the gates to count. Shoulders and knees must be covered, children included.
Afternoon
Lunch together near the river, then back to the hotel for the hottest hours and the pool. In the late afternoon we cross the Chao Phraya by the small public ferry, a few minutes on the water, to Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, whose tower is covered in pieces of broken porcelain that children like to spot as flowers. Stay for the light going gold over the river.
Evening
The evening is free; your guide suggests a night market for anyone who wants one.
Included
- The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew at opening, with a local guide
- Cross-river ferry to Wat Arun
- Wat Arun in the late afternoon
Easier option: Skip Wat Arun and stay at the pool; your guide walks you to the hotel.
Free time: Midday and evening free
Activity: About 3 km on foot in the morning, with shade breaks. Covered knees and shoulders are needed at both sites.
Fly to Siem Reap
Bangkok to Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, then Siem Reap
- Breakfast
- Stay in Siem Reap
- Drive about 2 h
Morning
A relaxed breakfast, then we drive to the airport for the flight to Siem Reap, a little over an hour in the air, with your guide on the plane. Cambodia's visa or e-visa is sorted before you fly, so arrival is short. Siem Reap's new airport opened in 2023 and lies about 50 km from town, so the drive in is about an hour through rice fields and villages, with water buffalo for the children to spot from the windows.
Afternoon
We reach the hotel in time for lunch on your own and a swim. In the late afternoon your guide takes the families on a gentle orientation walk along the Siem Reap River to the Old Market, where the children can try a fresh coconut or a sugar cane juice, and points out the places to eat and the pharmacy.
Evening
The evening is free. We fly rather than take the overland coach because the road and the land border take most of a day.
Included
- Flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap with your guide
- Transfer from Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI)
- Orientation walk along the river to the Old Market
Free time: Afternoon and evening free
Angkor Wat, morning one
Siem Reap to Angkor Wat and back
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Siem Reap
- Drive about 1 h
Angkor is too big and too hot for one long day with children, so we split it into two short mornings on the three-day pass, which is included.
Morning
Those who want sunrise leave at about 5 am to watch it come up behind the five towers of Angkor Wat, reflected in the pond in front; the rest of the family can sleep and join at 7:30 with a second driver we arrange. Breakfast is a picnic at the temple. Then a licensed Angkor guide walks you through the galleries, where the bas-reliefs show the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, gods and demons pulling a giant serpent, a story children follow easily once they know it. Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century and is the centre of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We are back at the hotel before 11, ahead of the heat.
Afternoon
Lunch together, then the pool.
Evening
At dusk your guide walks you to the Royal Independence Gardens to watch fruit bats leave the trees.
Included
- Three-day Angkor pass
- Angkor Wat with a licensed Angkor guide
- Sunrise at Angkor Wat (optional, early)
- Picnic breakfast at the temple
- Dusk walk to the Royal Independence Gardens
Easier option: Skip sunrise and join the group at 7:30 am.
More active option: Climb to Bakan, the upper level of Angkor Wat, if you are 12 or older; age and height rules are confirmed at booking.
Free time: Afternoon free
Activity: About 3 km on foot over uneven stone and steps. Children under 12 enter Angkor free with a passport but may not climb to Bakan, the upper level; a parent stays below with them while others climb. The age and height rule is confirmed at booking.
Angkor Thom by tuk-tuk, and the circus
Siem Reap to Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm, then Phare
- Breakfast and dinner
- Stay in Siem Reap
- Drive about 1 h
Morning
The second morning is by remork, the Cambodian tuk-tuk, which children usually rate the best part of the day. We leave at about 7:30 am for the South Gate of Angkor Thom, a causeway lined with stone gods and demons holding a serpent, and on to the Bayon, the temple of more than two hundred huge smiling stone faces: ask the children to count them, then give up. We walk the Terrace of the Elephants, then finish at Ta Prohm, where the roots of silk-cotton and fig trees grip the walls. Your guide times the order to stay a step ahead of the coach groups.
Afternoon
Back by about noon for lunch on your own and a long rest.
Evening
In the evening we have an early dinner together and go to Phare, The Cambodian Circus, a social enterprise whose performers trained at a free arts school; the show mixes acrobatics, music and theatre and lasts about an hour.
Included
- Remork (tuk-tuk) tour of Angkor Thom with a licensed Angkor guide
- The South Gate, the Bayon and the Terrace of the Elephants
- Ta Prohm
- Dinner before the show
- Phare, The Cambodian Circus
Easier option: Stay in the remork between Bayon and Ta Prohm and see Ta Prohm from the main path only.
Free time: Afternoon free
Activity: About 4 km on foot over uneven ground and wooden walkways.
Fly to Da Nang, on to Hoi An
Siem Reap to Da Nang, then the beach near Hoi An
- Breakfast
- Stay in Hoi An
- Drive about 2 h
Morning
A slow breakfast, then the drive back to the airport and the flight to Da Nang in central Vietnam. Most schedules connect through Ho Chi Minh City, so plan on most of the day in transit; a direct flight is a bonus when the season has one, and we confirm the routing with your dates. Your guide flies with you, and the Vietnam e-visa is arranged before you leave home. From Da Nang it is about 45 minutes by road to Hoi An. For this part of the trip we stay at a beach hotel at An Bang or Cua Dai, 10 to 15 minutes from the Old Town, so the children get sand and sea between outings and the parents get a pool and space. Check in and, if there is light left, swim.
Evening
In the evening we drive into Hoi An for a first look at the Thu Bon River as the silk lanterns come on along the water. If the connection lands late, this becomes a short evening walk instead. Dinner on your own; your guide points out family-friendly places near the river.
Included
- Flight from Siem Reap to Da Nang with your guide
- Transfer to Hoi An
- Evening first look at the Thu Bon River and the lanterns
Free time: Late afternoon free at the beach hotel
Activity: With the usual connection through Ho Chi Minh City you reach Hoi An in the late afternoon; on a direct flight, by early afternoon.
Hoi An Old Town and lantern making
The Old Town on foot, then a lantern workshop
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Hoi An
- Drive about 30 min
We are in the Old Town at about 7:30 am, while the lanes are cool and the shops are still opening. Hoi An Ancient Town was a busy trading port from the 15th to the 19th century, and its merchant houses, Chinese assembly halls and the Japanese Covered Bridge, reopened in 2024 after restoration, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the Old Town ticket is included. Your guide keeps it short and visual, with a scavenger list for the children: a carp, a dragon, a pair of eyes painted on a boat. Then the hands-on part: a lantern-making workshop, where each child bends a bamboo frame, glues on silk and takes the lantern home flat-packed for the suitcase.
Afternoon
Lunch together near the river. The afternoon is free on the beach or at the pool. Hoi An is known for its tailors, so if anyone wants clothes made, order today and collect on day 9.
Included
- Morning walk in Hoi An Old Town with your guide
- Hoi An Old Town entry ticket
- Lantern-making workshop
- Lunch in the Old Town
Free time: Afternoon and evening free
Activity: About 2.5 km on foot on flat lanes.
Basket boats in the coconut palms
Hoi An to the Cam Thanh water coconut forest and back
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Hoi An
- Drive about 30 min
A short drive takes us to Cam Thanh, a few kilometres from the Old Town, where the river spreads into channels lined with nipa palms, the water coconut. Here fishermen use the round woven bamboo basket boat, the thung chai, and a local boatman rows each family through the palms. Children get to try paddling, and the boatmen like to spin the boats on the water and make toys from palm leaves, a crab or a ring for the finger.
Afternoon
We keep the morning unhurried and stop at a family's garden in the village for lunch together: fresh spring rolls the children can roll themselves, rice, and fish or chicken. We are back at the hotel by early afternoon, when the heat is strongest, for the beach and the pool.
Evening
For a free evening, your guide can book a table at a riverside restaurant or point you to the night market on the An Hoi side for street snacks.
Included
- Basket boat ride in the Cam Thanh water coconut forest
- Lunch in a village garden
Free time: Afternoon and evening free
Activity: Life jackets are provided for children on the basket boats.
A free day on the beach
Hoi An at your own pace
- Breakfast
- Stay in Hoi An
Today has no plan on purpose. After a week of airports and temples, a whole day on the beach, by the pool or wandering back into the Old Town is what most families say they wanted more of. The sea off An Bang and Cua Dai is usually calm in the dry months, with lifeguarded stretches and sunbeds behind the sand; your guide explains where swimming is safest that week, because currents change with the wind.
Morning
If your family wants to do more, there are two optional half days your guide can arrange: a morning at My Son, the brick temples the Cham kings built in a jungle valley about an hour away, or a children's cooking class at Tra Que vegetable village, with a short bicycle ride through the herb gardens. Tailors who took orders on day 7 usually have fittings ready today.
Evening
Dinner is on your own; your guide is on call at the hotel.
Optional experiences
- My Son sanctuary half day. Morning, with transport and a local guide.
- Children's cooking class at Tra Que. Morning, with lunch.
Free time: Whole day free
Fly to Hanoi and the water puppets
Hoi An to Da Nang airport, the flight to Hanoi and the Old Quarter
- Breakfast and dinner
- Stay in Hanoi
- Drive about 1.5 h
Morning
A late breakfast, then we drive to Da Nang airport for the flight north to Hanoi, about an hour and a quarter. Your guide flies with you. From Noi Bai airport it is about 45 minutes to a hotel near the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake. After checking in we take an easy walk round the lake to the red The Huc Bridge and Ngoc Son Temple, where a large preserved turtle is on show and children hear the legend of the turtle that took back a king's magic sword.
Afternoon
In the late afternoon we go to a water puppet show at a theatre beside the lake. Water puppetry began in the rice paddies of the Red River Delta: the puppeteers stand waist-deep behind a bamboo screen, and dragons, fishermen and ducks splash across the water to live music. The show lasts about 50 minutes.
Evening
Dinner together afterwards, with noodle and rice dishes children recognise.
Included
- Flight from Da Nang to Hanoi with your guide
- Transfer from Noi Bai International Airport
- Walk round Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple
- Water puppet show
- Dinner in the Old Quarter
Hanoi for families
The Temple of Literature and the Museum of Ethnology
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Hanoi
- Drive about 30 min
Afternoon
Hanoi in the morning, then a free afternoon. We start at the Temple of Literature, founded in 1070 to honour Confucius, where stone turtles carry the names of scholars who passed the royal exams; students still rub the turtles' heads for luck before their own. Then we drive to the Museum of Ethnology, the best rainy-day and child-friendly museum in the city. Its garden holds full-size houses of Vietnam's ethnic groups that children can climb into, from a Bahnar communal house with a soaring roof to a Cham house and a stilt house, and inside there are costumes, tools and toys from across the country. The museum closes on Mondays, so small-group departures are set so this day never falls on a Monday; on a private trip that would, another family stop takes its place. Lunch together, then the afternoon is free. Your guide can suggest an egg coffee, or a ride round the Old Quarter by cyclo, the bicycle rickshaw.
Included
- Temple of Literature
- Museum of Ethnology, with its garden of traditional houses
- Lunch in Hanoi
Optional experiences
- Cyclo ride round the Old Quarter. One hour, two per cyclo.
Free time: Afternoon and evening free
A night on Lan Ha Bay
Hanoi to the harbour, then a boat on Lan Ha Bay
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Stay in Lan Ha Bay
- Drive about 2.5 h
Afternoon
After breakfast we drive east to the coast, about two and a half hours with a break halfway, and board an overnight boat around midday. Lan Ha Bay is the quieter southern neighbour of Ha Long Bay, scattered with limestone islands and small beaches, and in 2023 the UNESCO listing for Ha Long Bay was extended to include it and the Cat Ba archipelago. Each family has a private cabin with its own bathroom. After lunch on board, the afternoon is for the water: kayaks between the karsts with your guide, a swim from a small beach in the warm months, or a visit to a cave or a floating fishing area, depending on the boat's licensed route. Children usually love the top deck.
Evening
Watch the sunset as the islands turn to dark outlines, then dinner on board. Sleeping on the bay means you see it at its quietest, in the evening and again at dawn.
Included
- Transport from Hanoi to the harbour with your guide
- Overnight boat on Lan Ha Bay with a private cabin and bathroom for each family
- Kayaking among the islands, weather permitting
- Beach, cave or floating village visit, depending on the route
Easier option: Stay on deck while others kayak.
More active option: Take a double kayak further out with your guide.
Activity: Kayaking depends on the weather and sea; children kayak with a parent and wear life jackets.
Sunrise on the bay, back to Hanoi
Lan Ha Bay to the harbour and Hanoi
- Breakfast and dinner
- Stay in Hanoi
- Drive about 2.5 h
Morning
Anyone who wants to can be on deck for sunrise, the calmest hour of the day on the water. Some boats offer a short tai chi session on the top deck, which children enjoy copying.
Afternoon
Brunch is served as the boat cruises slowly back through the islands to the harbour, and we drive back to Hanoi, arriving in the early to mid afternoon. The rest of the afternoon is free to rest, swim if the hotel has a pool, or pick up last presents in the Old Quarter, where whole streets still sell one kind of thing, from paper offerings to toys and silk.
Evening
In the evening the families meet for a farewell dinner together at a Vietnamese restaurant, with a last chance to try bun cha, the grilled pork and noodle dish Hanoi is known for. Your guide gives each family a time and plan for tomorrow's airport transfer.
Included
- Sunrise on the boat
- Brunch on board
- Transport back to Hanoi
- Farewell dinner
Free time: Afternoon free
Depart from Hanoi
A free morning, then Noi Bai International Airport
- Breakfast
- Drive about 45 min
Morning
The last morning is yours, with no early start. Have breakfast, pack the lanterns and the tailored clothes carefully, and take a final walk round Hoan Kiem Lake if your flight leaves later in the day.
Afternoon
We drive each family to Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), about 45 minutes from the Old Quarter, at a time that suits your flight; a flight from about midday onwards keeps the morning unhurried; allow three hours before an international departure, more at weekends and holidays when the airport is busy. If you would like to stay longer in Vietnam, or add a few nights on a beach elsewhere in Asia, ask us when you book and we can add hotel nights and transfers.
Included
- Drop-off at Noi Bai International Airport (HAN)
Free time: Morning free
- Bangkok2 nights
- Siem Reap3 nights
- Hoi An4 nights
- Hanoi2 nights
- Lan Ha Bay1 night
- Hanoi1 night

Wildlife and weather: February to April is dry in all three countries. Hoi An's sea is calm and warming, and Hanoi and Lan Ha Bay are mild, sometimes misty in February and March. Cambodia and Bangkok are hot, above 35 C by April, which is why the temple visits are in the early morning. July and August suit school holidays, with short afternoon downpours in Bangkok and Siem Reap. September to December brings heavy rain and flood risk to Hoi An.

Questions
What does the family trip include?
13 nights in 3-star-plus hotels and a night on a boat on Lan Ha Bay, three flights between the countries, airport transfers, our own vehicle and driver, a See Sight Tours guide throughout, all the sights in the day plan with entrance fees, Phare circus and water puppet tickets, the lantern workshop, and 13 breakfasts, 6 lunches plus a brunch, and 5 dinners.
What is the minimum age for children?
Seven. The days are built for children 7 and up: two short Angkor mornings instead of a full day, afternoons free for the pool or beach, and activities with something to do with their hands. The trip is designed for children 7 to 16. If your youngest is younger, ask us about a private trip.
How big is the group, and who leads it?
The small group runs with 7 to 12 guests, children included, so it is usually two to four families. A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from Bangkok to Hanoi, including on the flights, and licensed local guides join at the Grand Palace and at Angkor, where the rules require them.
How active is the trip for children?
Easy. Most outings are 2 to 4 hours in the cooler morning, about 2 to 4 km on foot, with steps and uneven stone at the temples. The sunrise start at Angkor Wat is optional. Kayaking and basket boats use life jackets, and every outing has a way for a parent and child to sit part of it out.
Is there a single supplement for a single parent?
Not if you share a room with your child: a single parent and child pay the twin-share price each. A solo adult who wants a room alone pays a supplement from CAD 700, shown before you book, with no surprise at checkout.
Do children pay less?
We confirm child pricing when you request your dates; the price shown is per person sharing. Children under 12 enter Angkor free with a passport. Ask us when you request to book and we will quote the whole family, in writing, before anything is charged.
Why fly between the countries instead of taking the bus?
Because with children a lost day is a lost day. The road from Bangkok to Siem Reap takes most of a day with the land border, and the land border has closed at times since 2025. We fly three short hops, each about an hour to an hour and a half, and your guide flies with you.
When is the best time for a family trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam?
February to April, when all three countries are dry, Hoi An's sea is warming and Hanoi is mild. That includes the March break. July and August also work for summer holidays, with short afternoon showers in Bangkok and Siem Reap. We avoid Hoi An from September to December, the rainy and flood season.
Do we need visas?
For Canadians: Thailand currently needs no visa for a holiday stay of up to 30 days (confirm before travel), but you complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online before you land. Cambodia and Vietnam need e-visas, applied for online before you travel. Rules change, so check the official requirements for each passport in the family before you book flights.
Is the night on the boat safe for children?
Yes, with the usual care. Each family has a private cabin with its own bathroom, children wear life jackets in kayaks and paddle with a parent, and your guide is on board. The boat's route and licence are confirmed when we confirm your dates, and kayaking only goes ahead in suitable weather.
How does booking work?
Choose a date and request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 3,895 per person sharing, taxes included; we name each hotel and the boat when we confirm.
Can we travel privately or on our own dates?
Yes. The trip runs as a private trip for your family only, on a date you choose, from CAD 7,010 per person sharing. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, flights, boat and guided days.
