Ko Samui: Ban-Thai Beach

The entrance to the sea here is gentle: about 30 meters deep in the waist, so Ban-Tai is suitable for recreation with children. A rocky cape hides behind itself secluded places for sunbathing, where you can completely relax. Although Ban Tai beach is located far from the main attractions of Koh Samui, but after making a very small trip on the minibus, you can return to "civilization" at any time.

Samui: Bophut beach

Beach Bophut is hardly suitable for families with children. It's more like a pure "adult" beach.

The entrance to the sea is sharp, the depth increases almost from the shore. They do not come here for the sake of quiet lying on the beach, this is a place for solitary walks and exits to the sea on a yacht.
