Our Family Insider Tips

The Sandbar at Mae Haad

At low tide a natural sandbar emerges connecting the mainland to a tiny island, one of Thailand's most magical family moments. We time your stay so you don't miss it.

Guided Mangrove Kayaking

Paddle through hidden mangrove channels in the island's north with a naturalist guide. Spot kingfishers, sea monitors and fluorescent plankton on an evening paddle.

Family Thai Cooking Retreats

Several boutique resorts in Phangan offer half-day cooking experiences for the whole family, from market visits to plating your own feast on the beach.
