Where to Stay in Koh Samui with a Baby
One of the things we loved most about Koh Samui was how different each area felt. During our month in Thailand, we stayed in three completely different accommodations around the island: a beachfront mud villa, a private pool villa, and a budget-friendly beachfront hotel near Fisherman's Village.
Each offered something unique, and each suited a different style of family travel. If you're planning a trip to Koh Samui with a baby or toddler, here's our honest experience at all three.

After our first few trips, we realized something important: a place doesn’t just need to allow babies - it needs to actually work for traveling with a baby.
Here are the features that made the biggest difference for us when choosing baby-friendly accommodation.
