Thailand is often cited as one of the best locations to visit in South East Asia. It is also among the best regions to visit with your family as there are plenty of kid-friendly things to see and do here. Here are 5 of the very best things to do with your kids in Thailand.
The SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World is one of the best aquariums in the whole of South-East Asia. It exhibits cover an area equivalent to over 3 Olympic-sized swimming pools. All this space is used to harbour an amazing collection of marine life. In fact, the establishment houses over 30,000 specimens from all across the globe. Notable species on display included the placid nurse sharks, curious moray eel and a dazzling collection of colourful reef fish. Ocean World is open daily from 10 am to 8 pm. It is well worth the visit even if you are staying a bit further away like at one of the hotels in Chanthaburi, Thailand – for example, the Chatrium Golf & Resort Soi Dao Chanthaburi.
Arts in Paradise is a fantastic trick-eye museum found in the heart of Bangkok. It's mesmerising exhibits and mind-bending art pieces are sure to delight your kids and pique their curiosity. You'll also find reimagining of classic paintings and set pieces, created in such a way that families can now also be part of the scenery. If nothing else, it's sure to net you quite a few photo opportunities with your little ones.
True to its name, Dream World is where your kid's fantasies can turn into reality! This wonderful theme park has something for children of all ages. Watch your kids delight in the snow as they have the time of their lives in Snow Land. Marvel in the look of wonderment as your little one gets to meet princesses like Cinderella and Pocahontas. There are plenty of high-octane rides to try out as well, including roller-coasters that tilt and twirl hundreds of feet up in the air!
If your kid is a fan of wildlife and loves spending time with animals, a trip to the patented Safari World is an absolute must. Here there's an open-space safari park that lets you drive around and get close to the animals – much like an actual safari! You'll encounter many different species of animals such as gentle giraffes, grazing zebras and lumbering rhinos. There's also a more traditional zoo here which houses more dangerous beasts like tigers, lions and bears.
Few things can beat the simple pleasure of bouncing around on a high-powered trampoline – surely, your kids would agree! Well, this is exactly what you can expect at Bounce Inc. Bangkok. Here you'll find trampolines of all kinds – each rigged for different age groups. Some are even slanted at a 45-degree angle to let your kids try out some crazy stunts. Don't worry though, everything is perfectly safe with even the walls to have padding here!
