I don't think it's worth it! Especially for periods less than 15 days. The body will not have time to acclimatize to the climate of the tropics and it is necessary to return to the cold! This will not affect the child's immune system in the best way! It is better to "catch up with summer" and go in October-November.

In Thailand, there are more important cons than acclimatization - Dengue fever and a subcutaneous parasite. The fever is carried by a daytime mosquito, in Thailand it is not poisoned, unlike the same Malaysia, there are no vaccinations against this happiness. The subcutaneous parasite lives in the sand on the beach, carried by dog excrement. I have not seen a single beach in Tai without stray dogs. It is unrealistic to force a child not to walk barefoot, not to dig or wallow in the sand. Therefore, for ourselves, we closed the issue with Thailand for 10 years.

Yes, you need to go for two weeks, no less. I agree. It makes no sense to fly 9 hours for a shorter period. But January itself is a great month to visit. You won't regret it. I guarantee it. Unless there are specific types of allergies to seafood (actually met a person who could not eat ANY seafood). But that chance is probably less than one in a million. Phuket or Krabi in the Andaman Sea of the Indian Ocean or Pattaya, Koh Chang, Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand of the Pacific Ocean are waiting for you. It all depends on the type of holiday you prefer. The weather will be great everywhere. Tai is a winter paradise. :-)

Everywhere people get sick, get into accidents, sometimes they are robbed and other troubles happen. All this can happen at home. Caution and familiarity with the peculiarities of behavior and nutrition in any new country is always necessary.
As for winter, any country located close to the equator is suitable for recreation: Tai, Vietnam, Fr. Bali, Cuba, Dominican Republic, etc.
Everywhere has its own nuances that you need to get acquainted with before buying a tour. Well, take into account the temperature difference.
For the New Year holidays, roughly from 20.12 to 15.01, the price tag is rushing up the mountain is absurd.

What horrors have been written to you ...
We were one child, then with two, and now with three we have been in this country more than once! We live in central Siberia, when else, if not in winter, can we escape to a wonderful summer? Children calmly endure the flight if the adults themselves approach this flight in the right way (stock up on a positive mood, snacks and entertainment for the period of waiting at the airport and the flight. Our children endured the flight of 8-8.5 hours well, of course, not without the participation of adults. In winter Thailand is the peak of the season! Have a good rest, pleasant impressions and amazing photos! Good luck!

As for the countries listed above "close to the equator". Except for Tai himself. Vietnam is not at all for a January children's holiday. The sea is cool, stormy winds and rains. Tested in Nha Trang. Bali - yes, but expensive. I would not advise you to meddle with a child in Cuba. The wrong people go there and for the wrong reason. Dominican Republic, yes, but more expensive than Tai. And excursions in the Dominican Republic are much more expensive than Thai ones. And here's something else. The attitude towards local tourists, unless of course you behave like a pig, is very warm and friendly. And if you learn 50-100 words, and you still have a lot of time, then communication with the locals will bring you a lot of pleasant memories. And it can even help you save money. For example, in a cafe where we fell in love with dinner, fresh passion fruit ended. And I fell in love with smoothies from it and even came up with a wonderful alcoholic cocktail with SANSANYCH. So the waitress instantly jumps on her moped and after 5 minutes brings a grid full of this same passion fruit at a price 2 times lower than they sell us on the streets. Good luck to you!

I agree that it is better to take the child to the sea in the summer and autumn. But if it’s so unbearable to have a rest in January, then maybe try China? There is no heat in Sanya in January.

Vietnam, in general, is not a very successful country in terms of recreation. Especially, Nha Trang with its hotel rooms with windows to the corridor and the concept: "Changing room - bath across the road"! There are no hotels by the sea. Dessole doesn't count. Far from civilization. And the weather is unpredictable: waves can be at any time of the year. And huge jellyfish too. It is true about the waves and jellyfish and for Mui Ne.

Beach China (read Hainan) is not for January. The winds are strong. Water can be 25, or maybe 21 and below. And in the evening it can be 16-19. In strong wind it is to walk in a jacket. NORTH he. Even Vietnam.

If you haven't been there, go, you won't regret it! You probably don’t need it on Koh Samui, it’s closer at the exit from the Gulf of Thailand, there will be winds. You don’t need to go to Pattaya either, there is a garbage dump and the sex industry. so do you. Happy Holidays! Read the correspondence and look in the institute. Write a letter to her, she will book an apartment for you. Cheap and cheerful.

Well, you already add that the "shallow sea" in Hua Hin is, in fact, a low tide of one and a half kilometers, the inability to swim at all. We scoured the entire coast for 40 km in both directions to at least go into the water.

Phuket. An ideal place to relax in January with children. Take Karon Bay, get the perfect beach in the northern part. And sea and other excursions. In general, if Phuket, Krabi, Kochang or Pattaya, you can go on possible excursions. In order to "rent housing", you must first fly cheaply. And this is not always realistic in the high season.

I have been to Malaysia twice. She liked it. Even the fact that she is a Muslim did not bother. Haven't been to the islands. Only here is the question price. How comparable is Langkawi to Thailand in terms of price? Or is it just to speak "in general"? Have you personally been there? If yes, then the price of the flight, transfer, accommodation, meals, excursions - to the studio! We will all listen with pleasure and maybe we will go ourselves. Tell us about the islands please!

Of course, Malaysia is more expensive. But also cleaner.
Langkawi - excellent white beaches south of Koh Samui :))) Only without mangy dogs.
You need to fly to Kuala Lumpur, from there you can Air Asia. If you buy now, for December, then KL-Langkawi-KL from 25 bucks, more dates for 50 dollars round trip. Air travel to Phuket or Koh Samui from Bangkok will be more expensive.
Hotels are more expensive than in Thailand and there are more high class hotels. Normal ones start at about $50 per day, and good ones start at $100.
Food is more expensive.

I was in Langkawi in January 2011. The author of the question did not voice the budget, so I don’t climb into someone else’s wallet prematurely. Malaysia is more expensive than Thailand, of course, but twice as pleasant (for my personal taste).
The flight was from Novosibirsk by Uzbek Airlines to Kuala Lumpur via Tashkent, I don’t know how expedient it is to navigate the price of 33,000 rubles (it was the New Year holidays, prices are above average, but the exchange rate is old). There were also direct flights, but then we decided to save a little on the "Uzbeks". The hotel was chosen by the sea, a triple room per day is not more than 3500 rubles. We didn’t take any excursions, we went by taxi ourselves (the island is small, taxis are inexpensive).
I was left in a piggy delight from white coral beaches, and from delicious fruits and shrimp, and from entertainment. Waterfalls, an oceanarium, a petting zoo with exotic birds and animals, exotic farms, the palace of Princess Mahsuri, a bridge in heaven, thermal springs. Amazing climate, the heat is not felt.

Sealed up. south of Phuket.
How is it who flies to Phuket from Bangkok? Those who do not have direct flights. We flew like that. Flights were only to Bangkok, from there they flew to Koh Samui, Phuket and Krabi.
And, yes, I also did not understand why you clung to cheapness. There was no such question. The question was "will it be comfortable."

I didn't cling to anything. Have you been to Langkawi yourself? If so, when, in which hotel and how much did everything cost? Why, if the question is only in comfort, have not been offered the above by me? And also the Caribbean, Hawaii, Seychelles .... There are many comfortable places in the world, if you do not look at the price ...

Thank you Olena. For information on Langkawi. I already looked at the current prices and I won’t go there on purpose. If only to give up from Phuket for a couple of days. Flights are cheap. I flew twice to Malaysia, but to the mainland. As for the issue of cost, those who do not count money do not appear on this site. And they fly to Tai only for sex. The author of the question chose Tai. I do not think that "a finger to the globe." So someone told them already. And about prices too. I have listed above a lot of places where it is very comfortable in winter. But they are not offered. Reasonably arguing that people are beyond their means. Normal people always have an upper bar. Above which they will stay at home.

I wrote that Malaysia did not bother me, despite the dominant religion. Yes, ALMOST did not strain. But still, when I wanted to drink beer besides seafood, I went to Chinatown. Thankfully I lived close by. And there I felt great, like a fish in water. And not in a frying pan, under the gaze of others, sucking coca and Pepsi Cola with might and main .... You can also order beer there, but you feel like a "stranger". Although no one claims. But more and more "serious" or something. And in the Chinatown of Kuala Lumpur it is free, and life is in full swing, as in Bangkok. Everyone smiles. And it pleased me. And they cook much better there than in other parts of the city.

As a person who also visited Langkawi, I can say: it’s good there, on the north side it’s better than on the southeast, for some reason the bird and animal world is richer than in Phuket, although they are almost nearby on the map;)) the sea is much saltier .
But upon our return, we really wanted to return to Phuket! My husband suffered from a constant chicken diet, Chinese restaurants saved us - alas, the national Malay cuisine seemed to us sugary and tasteless. And no pork! And the aunts, wrapped in scarves, acted a little on the nerves, although we didn’t go naked either. We flew from Novosibirsk to Bangkok, from there to Kuala Lumpur, chatted there for three days - the feeling that there were much fewer people than in Thailand, it was very green, despite the solid skyscrapers.
And about the restless dogs. Have not seen, only cats, everywhere there are bowls with "crackers" for them.
