Ko Samui, Ko Samet or Ko Tao for a family? Posted: Fri March 6, 2009 06:02 AM UTC
I included Ko Samui to our trip this August with my family (2 adults, 3 kids). After reading the reviews on Ko Samui I wonder if it is a bit too commercial for us. Which island would you recommend for a family with small kids (9, 7 & 4)? We would love just to enjoy the beach (without sellers to hassle us) and snorkel. Thanks for your help. Eva

You don't say which beach you are aiming to stay at, but one of the things I really like about Thailand is that even on the busiest beaches, sellers do not hassle you. On Samui Chaweng is the busiest beach, but even then it is only really busy at the north end.

Thanks, John. I read in a few forums that sellers on the beaches (probably have to check which beach)are very persistent and annoying and that's the last thing I am looking for in a holiday! Can you recommend beaches in Ko Samui that are more laid back and quiet? Thanks, Eva

Lamai beach is one that might be good for you.

Have you thought about Ko Chang, The beaches are much quieter than your other 3 choices. The journey from Bangkok is much shorter too.
