In reply to Nicole. Yep K. Samui is expensive. If you go knocking on doors you'll find somewhere for 4 easily , but it'll cost. Although if it's high season it could be full. Have a great trip!

Loving your blog, thanks. Off to Thailand Koh Samui and Koh Phangan with the family (3yrs and 7yrs) in July. Have bee peen to Koh Samui with them before so we sort of know what to expect. 3 yr old is very fussy with food, so it will be interesting, I’m sure we will find a banana for her to eat. I enjoyed reading about what you did in Haat Salad, we are not sure where we will stay in Koh Phangang yet, we will only be ther for 3 nights, just want a cheap bungalow, my sister and her kids are joining us there too. Even thought we have travelled with the kids before I still nervous, oldest was 4 and youngest was 5 months, still on the boob (hope I’m allowed to say that). we also had trouble financing accommodation in Koh Samui when entering our 2 adults, 2 children as most places only have rooms for up to 3 people.

In reply to Anne. No Anne, we backpack, we mostly go knocking on doors of small guest houses when we arrive in town, not the sort of places you're looking for I don't think.

Great article. Have you got any budget accom recommendations (preferably with pool) for family of 4 in Luang Prabang & Siam Reap for a week each, and for a one night layover near Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport? Thanks

In reply to alyson@worldtravelfamily. Thank you for your reply. I already check the max occupancy rules for the room. It stated max 2 adults. And i already check with the children policy (Both Agoda and Booking), it stated Free! All children under 12 years stay free of charge when using existing beds. Am i good to go? (but why every time i search for 2 adults and 2 children (3,6yo) they always asked me to get the suite that cost triple from standard rooms.) :(
