Tracy always talked about traveling a lot more than she ever traveled. Married to an avid traveler that thankfully changed. After almost two years exploring South East Asia and Australia, enjoying the most amazing food, temples, beaches, and more importantly every sweet food treat she can find, Tracy is keen to explore further afield. Tracy juggles homeschooling, playtime, blogging and learning more about photography while they travel. Some days she juggles them better than others!

   Gorgeous pics - and I do love it when warm places have those indoor snow parks, it's hilarious! I went to one once in Adelaide and had a snowboarding lesson - I guess I'm jealous because we don't have one here in Perth.
   
   Looks like the kids had a fantastic day - Thailand is on my go-to-soon list and I'm sure our little boy would like that too.

   I love amusement parks in different countries-- there is such a unique spin on the attractions. The Fairytale World pictures are awesome-- it seems great even for older kids!

   Looks like they had a great time! I think the best thing about theme parks in other countries is that they aren't Disneyland - it's their uniqueness that makes them so much fun. After all, you certainly can't get pancakes on a stick or play with a headless man cut-out at Disney!

   Being Canadian, Snowland is one place I likely won't go (lol!)..in fact, my family is currently planning to escape the snow this holiday season, right after Christmas (if only for a week!). I really appreciate your blogs though..and would love to visit some of the lovely places you have been.

   What a great look into a foreign theme park. Each picture was so unique and nothing like what you would see in the US. My kids would love pancakes on a stick!

   That's awesome! Dubai is the only place I'd ever heard of doing this sort of thing until now.

   There's just sometime a little ridiculous about building a snow attraction when it's 32 degrees C outside isn't it? But snow is fun no matter what. Hope you and your son make it there soon!

    Definitely, amusement parks in different countries are a lot of fun. I really enjoyed reading the strange English translations of the fairytales and the local 'sweet' foods that are so different to what you'd see in a theme park back home. The whole day was great. I've probably underestimated how much older children would enjoy the theme park. I think if a teen has reached the point where they're too cool for cheesy attractions Fairytale land would be a bit boring but there were a lot of great rides there for people of all ages.

    The pancakes on a stick certainly were unique ... and at 10 baht (30c) they were excellent value! I know we certainly wouldn't find a snack at a theme park back home in Australia for 30c!

    Wow, my kids was dreaming about go to snow dome in Dreamworld.Now, there is one snow dome at Chiangmai Zoo. My daughter who never been to any cold country was very exciting when she took a field trip with her school to visit snow dome in Chiangmai Zoo two weeks ago.

    Wow snow in Chiang Mai! We are there in a few months, my kids will be so excited as they really loved it. What a great school excursion for your daughter - I'm glad she enjoyed it and got to experience snow.

    There's actually a surprising number of them throughout Asia. KL, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Singapore ... I've heard they're nothing like the one in Dubai though!

    Oh Tracy that looks so magical. I just showed my four boys and they loved it! That dream park with snow in Thailand looks magical.
    The witches castles looks scary! I dont think our boys would like going in there.
    That Jack in the beanstalk looks amazing - I love that they have a harp on the table :)
    Thank you so much for sharing.
    Cheers

    It was amazing fun. The Jack in the Beanstalk house was a huge hit with the kids. They loved the oversized furniture. Except for the oversized shoes that smelt just as bad as real shoes. I'm sure your boys would love it. The kids are already planning on going back, this time with Dad.

    After 20 minutes of tobogganing and snowballs we were ready for rollercoasters.

    It looks so clean and safe and fun! Much different than any Central American theme park we've been to :)
