last year i take my child to the thailand in the summer holiday, i have been there in july. Because it’s in july it’s my daughter’s summer holiday so we have spare time to take her to go around and thailand is not so far from china i think the time on the plane is ok for her so we choose the thailand. We choose Phuket because my daughter likes the sea so we book the hotel and air ticket in advance. She enjoyed the time in phuket but sometimes the weather is not ok because it’s rainy day in phuket.
