Traveling with kids in November
Hello! The husband offered to go in early November with two small children (3.8 and 1.6 years old) to Thailand. I doubt. Tell me, has anyone traveled like this? Were there any problems with food for children, with acclimatization? What is the best airline to fly with? How long does the flight take?

and rightly so! november is not the right time for thailand. thai food is not very suitable for baby food unless you rent an apartment and cook yourself. Acclimatization also takes place, and a 10-hour flight is also not easy ...

I would definitely go.
In November, a good season begins in Krabi, Phuket, Phi Phi, Chang.
Thai cuisine is very diverse, children have something to feed. The markets are full of inexpensive and, most importantly, fresh products. The only real problem is the lack of dairy and sour-milk products, they don't eat it.
Acclimatization in children is easier than in adults.
In short, it's up to you. None of my acquaintances and friends, who had a rest with children in Thailand, did not regret it. Some go there for the winter :)

We are planning to go in February. I'm still thinking, the child will be 1.3. The company is going to about. Chang, and also with children under 3 years old.
Is it possible to bring children's canned meat and cereals with me, how is customs there?
I also want to ask the pediatrician. If the doctor allows, then I think we'll go.
I was pregnant (6th month) last year and flew to Bulgaria on vacation. And when the baby was 6 months old, they went to a sanatorium for 12 days.
I am for traveling with children

In general, in Thailand there is a ban on the import of meat products. But in fact, we bring lard and smoked sausage there for our friends who live there.
It seems that the Thais don’t care, but I don’t know what will happen if they get caught :) At the border, no one has ever shown any interest in us.
With cereals, everything is without question - take as much as you need.
Excuse me, but why does a one-year-old child need canned meat? There you can easily buy fresh products, including meat and fish.
Z.Y. The pediatrician will 100% forbid. They, it seems, generally allow up to 15 years only in the village in the grandmother: ((

It just seems to me. that it is safer and safer to feed with your own canned food than with the local meat, and buy only juices and fruits there. but maybe you are right.
And the doctor at us like the adequate woman. But in any case, she can "recommend" and "not recommend", the decision is made only by parents, we are responsible for the child. Although our mood depends on her recommendations: or it will add more confidence. or sow even more doubts))

this spring, familiar dad, mom with a 4-year-old child flew to Tai. on the second day, the boy has a temperature of 39, a severe roto-virus infection! maybe they took it on the plane ... they tried to cope on their own for two days. on the third day with severe dehydration to the hospital. three days on a drip. the Thai doctor said it was a miracle the baby survived at all. the whole rest is a hospital ward and a sediment on the soul! think for yourself, do you and your children need it??

Citizens, do not forget to take out good insurance and do not be afraid to use it if necessary (God forbid, pah-pah-pah). Medicine in Thailand is simply incomparable with domestic medicine.

medicine there really is not like us. but WHY EVER EXPERIENCE THIS MEDICINE? become older - you can't imagine anything better than Tai! leave the children to the grandmothers. anyway, they are small to appreciate the merits of Tai, and with them it is better to fly to Turkey, where most of the hotels are geared towards children. both holidays will bring more joy! why look for problems in an empty place? even if 80% do not have them, but where is the guarantee that you are not 81%???

I am not arguing with you. Whether or not to take their child, only parents can decide.
But I can’t help but make one remark - over the summer I have to read dozens (if not hundreds) of reviews about terrible rotoviruses in Turkish hotels! The more children in the hotel - the more infections. And children there in the summer 2/3 of the total number of vacationers.

that’s exactly why leave such small children to grandmothers, believe it’s better with them, and don’t spoil your vacation (where for boat trips on uninhabited islands, for night fishing for squids, for rafting on Kwai, on ... etc. etc. with small children?), and when they grow up, take them to Thailand, where they will appreciate the country, people, nature, and dad's wallet - which will allow them (children) to visit such a wonderful country!

Everyone has their own idea of vacation. For example, it’s a thrill for me to be on the beach every day, to explore the territory on foot and for the child to stay at the sea is much more useful. This time.
Not everyone has the opportunity to leave their children for a long period with their grandmothers, our grandmothers are still working. And in any case, the child is calmer with the parents. These are two.
As for infections. we are not insured against them even at home: on playgrounds, in the clinic ((Only if you lock the child in a room. If you are afraid of wolves, do not go into the forest.
If you believe you, Svet1018, then it’s better not to go anywhere until the children come of age, and then let them answer for themselves and relax.

what you describe - your idea of rest - is more like Turkey. the sea in Thailand where I would allow MY little children to enter - this is ONLY on the islands. flight 10 hours + immediately to the islands, so that at any time the sea-sand is 6-8 hours by car, at best by plane 4-6 hours, of course, a small child is "high" - after all, with parents! eating canned food or unusual food because there is no children's table in hotels, too, probably, the child is better. I have been to Tae three times, even one day in the hospital. I speak from my own experience. IT IS YOUR BUSINESS TO TAKE CHILDREN OR NOT, but why ask if most people advise - not to take children, and you stubbornly - "I want!" Decide if you want to spend time with children? Why do they need Tai? You need Thai. Yes, and I didn’t say not to travel at all, you asked for advice, I advised a less exotic vacation for you with children. while my guys were at this tender age, they went on vacation together to where, first of all, THEM was good in everything. want to go through someone else's rake?. . . It's up to you, you don't listen to advice anyway.

Directly from the Bangkok airport you can fly to Trat in less than an hour, then the ferry, which takes 40 minutes! No need to exaggerate :)
In November, it’s good in Phuket, in Krabi, also an hour by plane, and budget Air Arabia fly there.
This is for fairness.
As for Turkey, I myself love it more than any other countries (including Thailand) and I think that in terms of the services provided, price, proximity, "imprisonment" specifically for children's and family vacations, there is simply no alternative to it.

dispel all doubts and disputes. We have a 6 year old child. She traveled back and forth many times, starting at the age of 4. There have never been any adaptations. The child stopped getting sick!!! And then every spring and autumn I spent in the hospital with bronchitis and inflammation. Now we live here in Thailand. There are no problems. The child is hardened, healthy, there are no problems with nutrition at all. Now none. After all, before she ate only OUR piece food and OUR meat grown on chemical additives. Now eats everything ONLY NATURAL. And that means a lot. Yes, she also had a temperature of 39 once, and also went to the doctor. But it was only ONCE, and not constantly, as in our homeland.
We go to Chang all the time, as soon as we have time. This is our favorite vacation spot.
And the last. We serve a very large number of tourists, see and communicate with tourists from other tour operators even more. There are cases of the disease, but they occur in about one case per 50 people. And you don't??? Look at the people around you right now. Aren't they sick??? I think even more often. And you don't have Thailand. Take insurance and don't worry about anything. The healthcare here is really great. Just don't wait 2 days.

there is no point in asking the doctor about it. I already know the answer: don't go anywhere. If I were in his place, I would also say so in order to absolve myself of responsibility.
If you need advice on living here with a child, write. My wife will help you organize everything and answer all your questions. She knows more about it.

Thank you for your responses! I'm still thinking. There is no way to leave children with their grandmother: they work. I agree that whether a child gets sick or not does not depend on the place of stay. Our example: we left Moscow for the sea in mid-June. At the end of June, both had a slight runny nose and that's it, but as soon as they returned (September 4th), immediately after 4 days, I went to the hospital with the youngest (otitis media). And last year they got sick one after another. In short, we think. Who better to get good health insurance?

Was today at the doctor, the answer at once was "do not go". The arguments are: acclimatization; I give 60% that you will get sick; medicine is in its infancy everywhere; you won’t get to a doctor there, all the more so to narrow specialists, and if you do, then no insurance will cover it, about insurance, she said “not everything is so simple”
After your comments about medicine, I found it funny to listen to her.
I only agree that a child can really get sick, and I don’t know what (maybe there are some infections in Thailand that we don’t have) and what the consequences will be. this is the only thing for today that prevents me from deciding on a trip, everything else: food, accommodation, flight can be planned, but how to plan not to get sick???

Malaria in wetlands, Japanese encephalitis, and dengue fever (some rare cases). Everything else is like ours.
Doctors are excellent specialists, there are no purchased diplomas, like ours, and dietary supplements are not "treated", sitting on a percentage of distributors, like ours. Getting to a doctor is not a problem, there are large good hospitals everywhere (by the way, I don’t know about Chang), new, clean, equipped, with a modern diagnostic base. When applying there with insurance, the hospital itself contacts the insurance assistance and settles all questions. FAST. And they, by the way, are very fond of foreigners with insurance :))) there are financial nuances. Have you seen Doctor House? These are hospitals, and even better. In order for insurance to cover all expenses, you just need to take a good one, without a deductible and with maximum coverage.
I repeat - it's up to the parents to decide, they just outraged once again the pearls of the local Aesculapius about the "rudimentary level of medicine." This is our beginning level!

I’ll tell you the story of how we, or rather my wife, were treated for the infection. Temperature first day 39. I say "Or to the hospital." The answer is "Tomorrow will pass." Tomorrow the temperature is 40. I say "Go". The answer is "Well, maybe this is the last day of the temperature." On the third day, the temperature was 41. 5. In the morning, realizing that I would not listen to her, I no longer resisted. Yes, and she had no more strength, she was exhausted specifically. We arrived at the hospital. While I was filling out paperwork at the reception, they put a thermometer in her ear and, seeing 41.5, they quickly took her to the intensive care unit on a chair. It took 5 minutes while I made out everything, she was already taken away. After registration, my daughter and I were forced to go to her (although we didn’t mind anyway). She lies on a specialized hospital bed, a system for monitoring her pulse, pressure, temperature and some other garbage is connected to her. Everything is clean, beautiful (disposable sheets, etc.) There is a catheter on the arm (no one cuts off the whole ass with injections). We were given leather chairs, brought drinks. A doctor immediately came with an interpreter (although I don’t need him, but order is order) and they said that they took blood from my wife for analysis and we had to wait 40 minutes. Exactly 40 minutes passed under the close attention of doctors, the same doctor came and said:

Your wife has a bacterial infection of this type and has a vaccine for her, which we will administer if she agrees. Well, of course we agreed. Something was inserted through the catheter on his arm and he was told not to get up for 15 minutes. Exactly 15 minutes later the nurse came and said we could go home. The temperature was 36.6 and did not rise any more. In total, it took 1 hour and one small hole on the arm. The insurance paid for everything (we always take annual insurance for the maximum category). Question 1: why torture yourself for 3 days, if you can go and get cured right away? Question 2: why be afraid of diseases if they are so easily treated?
All from personal life. The photo is in my profile album.

Impressive, Amir1.
we are called specifically to Chang Island, south of the island - Lonely beach, Bailan Bay, they say that there are 2 duty pharmacies with doctors and a hospital. Do you know this place??
and our grandmother, having heard what we think about a trip to Thailand, here's what she came up with: "Thailand is a poor country, and the Thais think that the people who come there to rest are very rich, so you need to look after the child, otherwise they will steal it, and for what purposes I didn’t say he would be stolen, I assumed that apparently in order to ask for a ransom)))
Those. There is no limit to the imagination of our people.
Or maybe she didn't think of anything?

"Thailand is a poor country, and the Thais think that the people who come there to rest are very rich" - the purest truth. The rest is nonsense. Our daughter (6 years old) freely goes to the store alone, walks with Thais, plays alone in clubs. All that can happen is someone will pinch her on the cheek, they really like her. White local farang child :))))))
Lonely is a good beach, but I personally prefer Clog Prao. There are also not many people there, but there is civilization (shops, cafes ...) We went to Loneli only to look at the beauty, but it is more convenient to live on Klong Prao. But that's just my opinion.
There is no need to worry about medicine. If, God forbid, something happens, they will call an ambulance by phone. Take a normal insurance that pays for it. And most importantly - DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE BAD!!! And everything will be ok.

they did it several times in Alfastrakhovanie and in Rosno, but never, pah-pah, they did not use it. In general, it is better to contact a large company that has existed for more than one year. You can go to the website of the embassy of the country where you are going to go, there should be a list of accredited UK (this can also be taken into account).
Our insurance usually includes not only an accident clause, but also insurance for the time of active sports (diving, skiing, surfing). You can also have a fad from non-delivery due to weather conditions, but not all companies have it. Insurance coverage is better from 50 thousand, although in Asia it is possible from 15 thousand, and in Europe from 30 thousand.
For what period - depends on you, it is possible for the period of stay in the country, it is possible annual.
When you take out insurance, specify what it will be: service (in the hospital you show an insurance policy, you are being treated, the bill for treatment is sent to the insurer) or compensatory (treat yourself at your own expense, and upon arrival in Russia go to the insurance company with a package of checks, receipts, certificates, etc. Then the insurance company compensates the costs). Naturally, the 1st option is better.
