Tips & Tricks from Real Parents
Arrive by 8 AM to have the place nearly empty. By 10 AM minibuses arrive and it gets crowded.
Younger kids should play in the shallow wading area to the right - knee-deep and much calmer.
The blue color is strongest between 9-10 AM when sunlight hits the water at the right angle.
The rope swing drop is about 4 meters. Supervise closely and check depth before each jump.
Life jackets rent for 20,000 LAK ($1) at the entrance - grab one for any kid under 8.
Bring water shoes. Limestone rocks are sharp in spots near the cave entrance.
Combine with Tham Phoukham Cave (same parking lot) for older kids.

A Real Parent's Story
The day my 5-year-old learned to love swimming
“She was terrified of water deeper than her waist. At Blue Lagoon she saw older kids splashing and laughing. Something clicked.”
Read full story
Our youngest has always hated swimming lessons. At Blue Lagoon the water is so clear and warm she got curious. A local kid showed her how to blow bubbles. By end of day she was in a life jacket kicking her feet. First time she has ever had fun in water.
— Ben, dad of 2 from Melbourne
