Thailand is a surprisingly easy family destination, and the budgeting gets easier still if you buy Thai baht before you fly. A commission-free online provider such as Travel FX lets you order in advance, so the holiday fund is settled before school breaks up.
Elephant sanctuaries, water parks, boat trips and night market dinners are mostly paid in baht. Ice creams, fresh fruit shakes and beach toys certainly are.
Giving older children a small daily allowance in baht is a painless maths lesson and keeps souvenir negotiations under control.
