Back to back, Maya Bay, Coral Island and Patong Beach made this easily the most relaxed family beach holiday we've done together.
We went in June against the recommended window and paid for it, a sudden downpour cancelled the Coral Island boat trip outright with no real alternative offered. The floating market got cut short by rain too, and Phuket's viewpoint was the one genuine bright spot of a washed out week for the family.
A mix of quirky floating market fun and proper beach time by the end made this trip exactly what our kids needed over twelve nights split between Pattaya and Phuket.
Pattaya's Floating Market gave our family an entire afternoon of snacking and browsing that even our fussiest eater enjoyed. Patong Beach afterwards was the lazy, sun-soaked stretch every family holiday needs.
A big joint holiday with my in-laws worked out beautifully, both generations finding something to love, from Coral Island's clear water for the kids to Patong Beach's calm shallows for the grandparents.
Patong Beach's calm shallows were perfect for our little ones while we actually relaxed on the sand.
