Sharm el sheikh vs beach holiday in thailand?

We are thinking of going to Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt or Thailand on holiday in August this year.What is the best location given that I have a 10 year old daughter?

Hi,

Been to both, and Sharm only three weeks ago. I went to Sharm for the diving (of course you can do that in Thailand).

Sharm is a lot closer 5 hours as opposed to 14 hours.

I would go to Thailand, Sharm is only worth it for a short haul diving holiday. The prices are very near UK now for food and not as nice in my opinion as traditional Thai food. Its VERY commercialised in Sharm. The flight to Thailand will be more expensive but you'll save money compared to sharm we you get there. Sharm feels catastrophic after a while, Thailand will be more chilled

If you can afford the time its no contest Thailand.

Generalisations are stupid aren't they love...

Thailand has everything. Stunning beaches, great shopping, great hospitality and plenty of activities and trips for the family. It is a unique place to visit. A trip of a life time.

I would pick Thailand too. However, chose very carefully as it is the rainy season for some areas. Koh Samui is probably your best bet. Hua HIn is also ok( but the beach is not so nice)

I suppose it depends on if you prefer Tsunami's to bombs!

I would go to neither, have you been to Wales?
