Fri, 29 Jun 07

Thailand is a top tourist and investment destination in South East Asia and an increasingly popular choice for second home purchasers, with some of the finest beaches, a fantastic tropical climate and some of the friendliest people in the world, but how does it compare when you add the kids...?

There are a number of considerations to take into account when travelling with the children, but if you can handle the flight from the UK (12 hours) then Phuket can offer you and your children the perfect holiday home for those memorable breaks away and they will no doubt be pulling at your coat once back, asking to return.

Phuket offers children of all ages so much to do, parents will be pleased to relax in the comfort of their very own villa at the end of the day! Having a property that you can return to year after year will give you a chance to experience all the sights and sounds of this amazing Eastern harmony.

Spectacular scenery

On the lush tropical green land or in the crystal waters there is something for the teenager’s right down to the toddlers.

Elephant trekking in the flourishing rain forest high in the hills is an experience not to be missed, also kayaking through the spectacular scenery of Phang Nga bays wild limestone islands seeing monitor lizards and crab eating macaques is a must for any trip.

Activities also include

  • Go-karting.

  • Mini golf.

  • Ten pin bowling.

  • Butterfly gardens.

  • Cable skiing.

  • Bungy jumping.

  • Zoo and gibbon sanctuary.

And after a full day of activities you will find a huge choice of food for even the most fussy of child. Most restaurants serve western food along with the healthier option of Asian food and offer children’s menus.  

Property resorts attracting investors

With many more families travelling to Phuket property resorts are beginning to offer a wider spectrum of activities and amenities such as The Village on Maphrao Island – meaning Coconut Island. The fact that there is a  3 minute water taxi ride to get to the exclusive development gives you an indication that water is a big feature in this resort!

It is being created by the same team who developed the very successful worldwide Sunsail watersports concept. With the play ground of Phang Nga bay on your door step you and the family have an unrivalled cruising ground to explore year after year going diving or snorkelling. Few places in the world offer such diversity of scenery and astounding beauty.

You and the children can benefit from this unique project that is the only watersports resort in Phuket.

The Village has been designed to feature the timeless beauty of Thai architecture but also with families in mind. With the picturesque backdrop of Phang Nga bay, the impressive portfolio of amenities, which include spa, gym, restaurants, bars, kids clubs, dinghies, windsurfers, shops, babysitting and nannies, will have mum, dad and the kids having an experience of a lifetime.

Buying at the village could give you all this and also deliver a strong rental return and a fantastic capital growth, and above all give you and the children some amazing holidays to remember year after year.
