How can I ensure a safe beach experience for my kids while visiting Phuket?

It's essential to keep a close eye on your children at all times, especially when they're in the water, as conditions can change quickly.

• Make sure to apply sunscreen regularly, and consider bringing a beach umbrella for shade.

• Check the beach flags for safety: a green flag indicates safe swimming, while red means conditions may be dangerous.

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.
