📋 The Bottom Line
Phuket combines stunning beaches with genuine Thai hospitality toward families. The main beach areas (Patong, Kata, Karon) have flat access and good facilities, while the interior is hilly and more challenging. Thai culture absolutely loves children — you'll receive constant smiles, offers of help, and genuine warmth. The resort areas and beaches are the sweet spot for stroller families, with modern infrastructure and family-focused activities. The tropical climate and beautiful Andaman Sea setting make this a magical family destination.
