WITH KIDS
Shallow northern bays, a hillside farm with a pool, and a rain pattern that runs late in the year.
Choeng Mon Beach
A small, sheltered bay in the northeast with gently shelving sand, wadeable water and shade trees behind. Any age.
Paradise Park Farm
A hillside animal farm above Lamai with pigs, deer, a big view and a freshwater pool included in entry. Half a day. Ages 3+.
Coco Splash water park
A compact slide park at Lamai with graded runs and a toddler pool, cheap by island standards and rarely crowded. Ages 4+.
Ang Thong Marine Park
A full-day boat to the archipelago's viewpoint climb and emerald lake; the crossing can be rough. Ages 7+.
Rain months and road sense
The gulf's wet season lands October to December, later than the Andaman coast. Songthaews have no seatbelts and scooter crashes are the island's main injury.
