Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!

A one-day excursion, especially using public transport, seems way too short for this kind of place. With kids, it’s even more true—they need breaks, a chance to sit on a terrace, grab an ice cream, and just chill out a bit 😉 By allowing a little more time, the visit will be much more enjoyable and a lot less tiring for everyone.

For a week in London in July, renting an apartment with a kitchen can definitely help keep meal costs down by preparing a few breakfasts or dinners in. That said, keep in mind that rentals are often more expensive than an equivalent hotel, especially in central areas. As for restaurants, even simple spots add up quickly—expect to pay around £15–20 per dish at a decent pub or café. 🤪
