Reply To: Family trip to Thailand

[davet]

Thailand is such an incredible and diverse place its really difficult to recommend based on the information at hand, if you have been lucky enough to see a lot of it then you’ll likely make recommendations based on what you like

for example Koh Laak isnt too far from the airport, the resorts would be excellent for familes and its near lots of tours and local areas – away from patong. its near sailing and other excursions too, however is it in the thick of it? not at all

Koh Samui will cost you more but will feel more Thai and the experience is much nicer but if you are looking for the facilities of Koh Laak you wont find them, I’d also prefer samui as i visit Thailand for the exact vibe the islands give. However my next visit is with a 2 year old and an 11 year old also travelling via singpaore so it doesnt work for us in that trip, we have swapped it out for Koh lanta just off the coast by Phuket – but would I recommend the full time in Thailand in Koh Lanta, probably not.
