First things first - is Koh Samui child-friendly?

The answer is a resounding yes! The island in Thailand boasts a variety of family-friendly resorts and activities, making it an ideal destination for parents looking to escape the stresses of everyday life and enjoy some quality time with their children.

Why visit Koh Samui as a family?

There are countless reasons! For starters, the island's calm, pristine and safe beaches are perfect for young children to play in the sand and splash around in the water. And for older kids, there are plenty of water sports to enjoy, from snorkelling and diving to jet skiing and parasailing.

But Koh Samui isn't just about the beach. The island is also home to several family-orientated attractions such as the Samui Aquarium and Tiger Zoo, the Na Muang Waterfall and the Elephant Sanctuary. And for a truly unique experience, families can take a cooking class together and learn how to make traditional Thai dishes.

How long is the ideal holiday in Koh Samui?

We recommend at least a week to truly soak up all the island has to offer but suggest 10 days to allow families to really unwind and enjoy some quality time together. With so many activities and attractions, there's never a dull moment in Koh Samui.

And when it comes to accommodation, Koh Samui has no shortage of family-friendly resorts. From luxury beachfront properties to more affordable properties, there's something for every budget and preference. Many of these resorts offer kids' clubs and activities giving parents some much-needed downtime while their children are entertained.

What are some of the best activities to do as a family in Koh Samui?

In addition to the attractions mentioned above, families can also take a day trip to the nearby Ang Thong National Marine Park, go on a bike ride through the island's lush interior or take a boat tour to enjoy the splendid coastline from a different perspective.
