Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai, the capital of northern Thailand, is one of the best family holiday destinations in Southeast Asia, according to Thailand Hill Tribe Holidays and I couldn’t agree more. There’s a plethora of activities for kids, and plenty for mum and dad to enjoy too. From its fascinating hill tribe villages and ethnic minority culture to elephant sanctuaries and waterfalls.

The only problem you’ll have is finding time to fit everything in! The area itself is very photogenic, surrounded by lush tropical forests and lofty mountain landscapes. There’s a lot to discover outdoors, and trekking is one of the

The term “budget travel” has long been synonymous with “cheap travel.” Finding deals, getting off the beaten path, eating at “non-touristy” (i.e. inexpensive) restaurants, and staying in hostels. The budget traveler is on a quest for a “local” experience at a low cost.

During the 2010s, the rise of sharing economy websites like Airbnb, increased competition in the travel industry, and the growing number of budget airlines offering long-haul flights made traveling on less a lot easier to do.

Galveston alone has 32 miles of beaches, perfect for a quick dip in the ocean, a picnic lunch on the sand and even surfing if you’re feeling a little adventurous.

East Beach

Start with East Beach where you’ll find the biggest and best parties in the world. This is one of the only beaches in the area where alcohol is completely legal, and some even say it’s encouraged. The beach hosts parties, bikini contests, and live concerts. They have space for 7,000 cars and admission is just $8 per car. Even if you just want to people watch, it’s well worth the

Paris is enchanting any time of year but particularly so around Christmas. There is something magical about seeing the city come to life with festive cheer and light up under the holiday season glow.

1. Christmas Shopping at Lafayette

This luxury department store is the best place to come Christmas shopping, not only because you can buy every one of your Christmas gifts under one roof but also because of the festive decorations. The enormous Christmas tree which hangs from the ceiling always take centre stage and is a sight to behold. This year the 27-meter high tree will hang upside down and will be decorated in rich colours with thousands of brightly coloured jewels.

Gas up your sled and ride along Muskoka’s renowned snowmobile trails this winter. With some of Ontario’s most unbelievable scenery and over 1,000 kms of groomed snowmobile trails that link the northern and southern parts of the province, you won’t regret the decision to hop on!

Trail Tips & Trail Loops

When planning your trip, consider a midweek excursion if you can. Trails are quieter, conditions are better and rates for overnight snowmobiling packages are cheaper. For a complete look at the trails in Muskoka, visit the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide.
