Phuket with children

Postby KatJa12 » Sat Nov 14, 2009 22:14

Hello all,

We are traveling at Christmas to Phuket with our 5 and 1.5 year old and we're wondering if there are any recommendations for very child friendly places/areas to stay. We've been there before, but are expecting a much different trip with our young ones.

It would be particularly helpful if anyone can recommend a place where we can get a suite instead of just a room for a reasonable price and not be too far from a good beach. But any tips or info are appreciated!

thanks! katrina

Thanks Angie! Most of these look out of our budget, but we've seen some on latestays.com...so they may be a possibility!

We stayed at this resort once:

http://www.agoda.com/asia/thailand/phuk ... beach.html

It was great. All rooms are suites with kitchenettes, and there was a great slide and pool and playroom for the kids. About 5 minutes from a fairly quiet beach. It might be a bit late to find a room there (Christmas is high season in Phuket), but give it a try!

Good luck!
