Are there any beaches in Phuket with playgrounds or kid-friendly facilities?

Yes! Kata Beach has a small playground near the sand, where kids can enjoy some time off the beach.

• Karon Beach also features some family-friendly amenities, including beachside restaurants that often have play areas for children.

• If you're looking for something more unique, Bang Tao Beach has several resorts with kid-friendly facilities, including activities organized by the staff.

Conditions can change between beaches and from one hour to the next. Check the warning flags, speak with lifeguards where available, keep children within reach and do not treat calm-looking water as proof that currents are safe.
