Your photo is resized in your browser before it is sent, which strips the location data cameras hide inside a file. A human checks every photo before it appears.
Drop & Shop: Big C Samui is a supermarket too. Drop the kids, do the shopping, come back.
For you, without leaving the building: Starbucks Big C Samui, Big C (supermarket, upstairs), massage, The Food Avenue (food court, second floor, next to KidTopia).
Younger and older? UniKids takes the little ones while the bigger ones are at Starbucks Big C Samui, same building.
All of it is indoor and air conditioned, so rain changes nothing.
