Hiya hun,

Im a travel agent so hopefully I can shed some light for you. Thailand is one of my favourite places, ive been many times including my honeymoon. Koh Samui is my favourite place out of all of them, but it can be very quiet for children.

Bangkok is great for shopping but do doesnt really have that 'lay by the pool' atmosphere. Def wouldnt spend more than 5 days there esp with kids.

Pattaya has a VERY BIG red light district and the child sex industry is booming over there, I dont say this to scare you but to warn you as a lot of people get a very big shock and to tbh imo it isnt a place for children.

Phuket is great for families, has some awesome hotels with family friendly atmosphere. If you want to be right in the hustle and bustle then check out the Holiday Inn. If you would prefer to be about a 10 minute ride out of the main area of patong then checkout the Phuket Graceland hotel, very popular and reasonably priced.

If you want me to have a look at anything for you then send me the info to amy.harrod@flightcentre.com.au and I can check it out for you tomorrow.

Amy :-)
