A Week in Phuket With Young Kids

Phuket is one of the easiest places in Southeast Asia to travel with young kids. The beaches are safe, the food is familiar enough, and there are activities everywhere to keep children up to 12 entertained. This 7-day itinerary covers water parks, mini golf, animal encounters, play parks, day trips and plenty of beach time. Each day includes several options so you can pick what suits your kids and skip the rest. I put it together based on 30 years of watching families figure out what to do here.

Click “Make This My Trip!” to save it as your own. You can then add or remove places, rearrange your days, drag and drop items and add your own notes. Browse Phuket 101 for more ideas and add anything to your list with one click. It’s your family trip. Make it yours, it’s that simple.
