The hedonistic reputation for wild full moon parties might be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Koh Phangan. It's a real bummer that many families tend to give a wide berth to Koh Phangan, not knowing the lovely, serene side of the island that is blotted out by the never-ending party scene.
Enjoy a dose of vitamin sea by indulging yourself in the plethora of water sports available in Koh Phangan. As an island with more water and less land, water sports play a huge role in any vacation spent in Koh Phangan. From snorkelling, diving to kite surfing, paddleboarding and much more, the kids (as well as the parents) are sure to have an exciting time in the water. Even if you have no prior experience in the sport, several centres around the island are ready to help you get the hang of it.
Get ready to get your adrenaline pumping by taking part in the epic water obstacle course at this water park in Koh Phangan. Out of all the places you visit on the island, the kids are sure to love Challenge Phangan the most. Let them test their limits as they try to make it to the other end by dodging big red balls and rolling barrels and going through honeycomb mazes. The Challenge Phangan guarantees to offer an exhilarating experience, which makes it a must-visit place on your trip to Koh Phangan.
From building sandcastles to hunting crabs and playing beach tennis, kids just love hanging out on the beach. As a pea-sized island with around 30 beaches, Koh Phangan is almost all beaches. Therefore the kids have enough and more endless stretches of white sand to have some fun-filled beach time. If you and your kids love staying just a stone's throw away from these stunning palm-fringed beaches, consider staying at one of the beachfront resorts in Koh Phangan, including the likes of Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas.
After a day full of exhilarating activities, head over to the streets of Thong Sala to take your taste buds on a trip like never before. As the sun goes down and the moon comes up, Thong Sala gets filled with countless stalls that offer various kinds of mouth-watering street foods. From Thai rice dishes, noodles to sushi rolls, and many more, you will have a hard time trying to decide what to order from the overwhelming amount of choices.

Lying just a short boat ride away from Koh Phangan, it is a group of 42 idyllic islands with the scenic beauty of a paradise. From sea kayaking to swimming and hiking to viewpoints, a trip to this park will allow you to indulge in many fun activities.
