To take my two dc to Thailand for a month this summer?

I've been looking into summer holidays, which started with looking at week at eurocamp in France (1k plus the cost of getting there, and activities while we're there). Then I started looking at flights, and realised that for £1600 I can fly me and the dc to Thailand, and go for a month.

I travelled around thailand 14 years ago as a yoof, and just winged it, staying in cheap guesthouses and beach bungalows. I'm thinking that if I go with the dcs (age 4 and 10), it might be harder as I don't recall there being a whole heap of options for 2 bedroom accommodation. My bf might come if he can get time off work. Am I mental for even considering it? The kids are very keen on the idea. Has anyone got any experience of Thailand with kids? I have been looking at villa hire on the gulf coast (to avoid the rainy season) and its quite pricy, I'm wondering if I should book accommodation beforehand or turn up and wing it (and probably pay a lot less). Ko sumui seems like the best option to visit.

YABVU - take me instead!

What a brilliant thread, you have inspired me to think about holidays next year & look beyond Europe.

Grief, no, of course YANBU!

Psssst! There's a very decent British school on Samui, should you decide to "drop out" for longer. Just saying...
