All Inclusive Family Holidays to Thailand

Island bases offer sheltered bays and resort facilities, with each island suiting a different family rhythm.

• Koh Lanta: Koh Lanta is a quieter island reached by ferry from the mainland, known for its long beaches and laid-back atmosphere. It is less developed than the larger islands, which means fewer large complexes and a calmer setting for young children to splash and play. Families who want an unhurried island with a gentle daily routine will appreciate its character, although the ferry adds a longer journey on arrival.
• Koh Yao Noi: Koh Yao Noi sits quietly in Phang Nga Bay, just across from the larger island's neighbouring shoreline and a short ferry ride from the mainland hubs, with scenic villages and beaches that suit families seeking a low-key stay. Its small scale means fewer crowds and a slower pace than the bigger islands, which many parents with toddlers find restful. It is best for families who value calm over entertainment and are comfortable with a more limited range of resort facilities, the same brief our Thailand holidays deals are built around.
• Koh Phangan: Koh Phangan is reached by a short ferry crossing from the neighbouring island, which makes it a practical add-on for families wanting a change of scene during a stay. Its beaches vary from lively to secluded, so you can select a bay that suits your children's ages and your own tolerance for nightlife. We recommend it as a second island for families who want variety within one trip.
• Koh Tao: Koh Tao is reached by ferry from the nearby mainland port on the Gulf coast, and it is a compact island with calm bays, making it suitable for families who want a small, self-contained base. Its clear water is popular with families who enjoy snorkelling close to shore, although accommodation tends to be simpler than on the larger islands. It works best for families who prioritise sea time and a relaxed setting over a wide choice of hotels, which is the same brief our Cheap Thailand Holidays deals are built around.
• Nathon Pier: Nathon Pier is the main ferry hub on the south-western side of the island and the gateway for connections to neighbouring islands, so families staying nearby can reach them easily from here. Its position makes it a useful reference point when comparing resort locations, as travel times to the pier determine how quickly you can make day trips. Our Thailand Adults Only Holidays deals are built around that same brief, so the pier's distance matters just as much when you are planning a quieter stay. We advise checking transfer distances from the pier when choosing a resort, whether you are travelling with children or without them.
