Kho Samui is great for children with everything centred around its beaches. The two main resorts are Chanweng and Lamai. Chanweng tends to attract families as it is protected by a offshore coral reef making it a shallow lagoon great for swimming, coupled with its long powdery white sand beach. Action-packed activities such as kayaking and snorkeling. There is a vibrant nightlife after sunset, and the teens will enjoy the discos and cafes with great music and live bands.
