Family Friendly Ideas For Ko Samui

 

It’s always difficult to find a good balance on a family holiday to Thailand between adult and child friendly fun. If you’re worried that your kids will get restless, here are a few things to keep the kids entertained on Ko Samui

If the kids have had enough of lying around on the beach during your Thailand holiday and you are looking for something else to keep them amused why not take a look at the following suggestions: Family Samui

Hire a car (For the whole family)

The island is very accessible by car and will only take you about an hour to go around the main coast road. Many people hire jeeps or if the kids are old enough you could go for a scooter. Daily hire is pretty cheap why not visit one of the many waterfalls or see ‘Big Buddha’? These are bound to be highlights of your Thailand travel experience.

Mini Golf (For the whole family)

You can find mini/crazy courses at Bo Phut in the north of the island or there one around Chaweng Beach. These are both great ways to keep you kids amused on your Thailand holiday. If the real game takes your fancy there are also a couple of 18 hole courses including the well known Santiburi Country club and the Royal Samui Golf & Country Club.Family Samui

Snorkelling (For the whole family)

If you are going to spend your time on the beach then snorkelling will often be great from many beaches in Thailand. You can often hire the kit from your hotel or a vendor on one of the major beaches.

Go karting (For the boys)

In the north of the island around Bo Phut there is a large outdoor track that caters for all ages and has different engine carts depending on ability and age. Great for keeping the boys smiling on your Thailand trip. Family Samui

Shopping (For the girls)

Pick up some last minute bargains from a street stall or head to the shopping centre of Tesco Lotus or HomePro located around the Chaweng area.

Muay Thai Kick boxing(For the boys)
