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.
