Bangkok is more than just a bustling metropolis; it's also a family-friendly paradise with a wealth of activities. Here’s a guide to enjoying this fascinating city with your kids.
This is a slice of the wild right in the urban jungle. Let your kids marvel at the many animal species, both on land and in water, during the park's exciting safari drive. The daily animal shows, featuring sea lions, orangutans, and bird species, add an extra layer of fun to your visit.
You can dive into an underwater adventure right in the heart of the city at SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World, located just a stone’s throw from PARKROYAL Suites Bangkok. Boasting one of the largest aquariums in Southeast Asia, this marine wonderland will have your kids admiring colourful corals, diverse species of fish, and majestic sea creatures. Don't forget to stroll through the mesmerising tunnel where sharks and rays swim all around you.
You can blow off some steam at Siam Park City, Bangkok's largest amusement and water park. From thrill rides that will have your heart racing to the enormous wave pool for some refreshing fun, this park offers a great mix of adventure and relaxation for all ages. Looking for the best hotel to stay in Bangkok? You will find it right here near Siam Park City.
Give your kids a fun history lesson at Museum Siam. This interactive museum is designed to help young minds grasp the complex story of Thailand's history and culture. The hands-on exhibits and engaging visual presentations make learning a blast.
Say hello to over 1,600 animals at the Dusit Zoo. The zoo is home to a variety of animals like monkeys, penguins, and kangaroos. Don't miss the exciting animal feeding sessions. Also, you can enjoy a leisurely boat ride on the lake, a great way to wind down after a day of exploration.
Swap the Bangkok heat for the cool confines of the Rink Ice Arena. Whether your family are seasoned skaters or just starting out, this is a fun place to glide around and have a laugh together.
You wouldn’t expect to find a green oasis like Lumpini Park in the middle of Bangkok. This provides the city with a delightful, refreshing contrast. Give your kids a break from the city rush with a stroll in Lumpini Park. You can rent paddle boats, check out the playground, or just enjoy a picnic amidst the greenery. Don't be surprised if a monitor lizard joins your expedition!
Take your kids to see the Giant Swing, a Bangkok landmark that's rich in history. Although no longer used for the original daring swing ceremony, its towering presence is sure to impress the kids.
Treat your family to an authentic taste of Thailand at the many street food markets in Bangkok. From Pad Thai to mango sticky rice, it's a great way to introduce your kids to new flavours in a lively and vibrant setting. Bangkok is home to a large array of restaurants as well; for a fine dining experience, you can sit down to a delicious meal at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the cityscape. While dining at street markets is fun and the best way to get a glimpse of authentic Bangkok, you should also think about food safety – make sure it’s a stall with an open cooking area. A place with a long lineup of customers, especially tourists, is your best bet.
