When planning a family vacation, Thailand is an excellent choice with its clean sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Here, the whole family can enjoy spectacular golden sunsets over the water and lots of fun for the kids during the day. While Thailand has many excellent beaches to choose from, these are five of the best kid-friendly beaches for a family vacation.
1. Lipa Noi Beach, Koh Samui, Thailand
When considering beaches in Thailand for the little ones, it is always a good idea to pick a quiet spot, without crowds of vacationers. Lipa Noi Beach is ideal and also has shallow waters for the kids to be able to paddle close to the shore. Even better, this beach isn’t rocky and there aren’t many washed-up corals to cut the feet. One thing to bear in mind is that the beach is a little remote, so make sure you have everything you need in the way of snacks and cold drinks. Also, ensure the kids have plenty of beach toys to keep them occupied while you catch a tan. Should you need shade, the trees lining the beach are perfect.
2. Family vacation on Nai Harn Beach, Phuket
Set in the southwest area of Phuket, Nai Harn Beach is in a relatively quiet location, with very few resorts close by. This makes the beach perfect for kids who want to explore the sandy cove or go swimming in crystal-clear waters. Meanwhile, the sand is soft and clean and the cove is protected from stronger currents, making it safe for the kids to splash around, or snorkel to see the fascinating world beneath the water.
3. Klong Prao Beach, Koh Chang, Thailand
Families visiting Koh Chang should make sure they spend time on Klong Prao Beach. Not only is it the largest beach on the island, but it also has a kid-friendly vibe due to the warm waters and soft sand. Meanwhile, the beach stretches for 2.5 mi (4 km), ensuring there is always a quiet spot for the family to have fun. Moreover, the beach is close to Klong Plu waterfalls, a definite attraction for the whole family.
4. Hua Hin Beach, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand
Hua Hin has come a long way since it was a simple fishing village, as it is now the best beach resort town in Thailand. With the short distance from Bangkok, it used to be the place to go for royals. However, these days, the northern part of the beach is ideal for families, with plenty of activities to do. Whether enjoying a pony ride or flying colorful kites, the kids will have a wonderful time. Meanwhile, there are a number of good restaurants and markets in the area for when the family has had enough of the sun and sand.
5. Kamala Beach, Phuket for a family vacation
This beautiful beach is a hidden gem and is private and quiet for a family vacation. However, it may be serene, but the beach is only a 10-15-minute drive from Patong and all the action. Meanwhile, the beach offers clean sand and shallow, clear waters, ideal for toddlers to splash around and have fun. Moreover, the beach has a number of convenient eateries for a snack or a meal in a range of cuisines.
