Samui is a really family-friendly island, with a variety of attractions and games to keep your kids entertained. Naturally, the beach and the sports accessible here are the top distraction for both children and adults in Samui, from creating sandcastles to frolicking in the warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand. Most accommodations like resorts have on-site shops, swimming pools, and are near to the ocean, allowing you to relax as your children play and enjoy themselves.
Travelling to the island with children is much smoother today than it was even ten years earlier. The most convenient route is to travel from Bangkok or anywhere in Thailand to the island’s own airport.
You can also travel to Surat Thani, Thailand's nearest mainland airport, and then catch a 2.5-hour ferry to the island. The choice you select would most definitely be decided by the age ranges of your children and relatives.
There are many benefits to staying on Koh Samui with its gorgeous beaches for toddlers and small children.

Football Golf is a unique and increasingly common game that originated in Thailand at Samui Football Golf and is now known all over the world.

It will keep you and your group entertained for at least sixty minutes while also providing a relaxing tropical garden walk through a stunning coconut plantation that serves as the 'course.'
