Bangkok I always seemed a bit 'a paradox when it comes to children. The Thai people are safe, for young and very friendly and loves children. Going around everywhere in Bangkok, in the street or in a shopping center to attract your child is always a lot of attention and COO will be cooing. However, look at Bangkok as a city that has always struck me as incredible as a child hostile.
Poorly maintained sidewalks, narrow and crowded to pushing a stroller almost impossible. The lack of elevatorsand many steps to make life even more difficult. The traffic is always bad, crossing the street on the ground is always a risky task! And I was very aware of the many child-friendly activities, as are all pretty well hidden.
Before my last trip to Thailand, I thought, what should I do with our daughter, who are now the age where she needs constant conversation? I did some research, asked around and came up with the following list. These places arevery varied and distributed in the city, then you should take your children to stay to give.
Children's Discovery Museum - Gardens Rotfai, Chatuchak Park
Market just across the street from the entrance than for the opposite Chatuchak Park and Chatuchak Weekend, this place is very easy to Skytrain (Mo Chit) or underground (Chatuchak) is accessed. Ideal for children from the age of about 4 up, but has many interactive exhibits in different subjects areas. There is aArea Science, even with a giant bubble machine that can be inside your son! There is also an area of Global Warming, natural area, outdoor play areas and, above all, to decorate cakes! Although the older children are more out of it, there's a lot to take, as well as children.
Yoyoland - Seacon Square
This place is a bit 'more on the way to go there, you need a Skytrain to the end of the line to Sukhumvit On Nut, and then take a taxithe Srinagarindra Road. But if you do, it's worth a day or half a day. This is basically a small amusement park in Seacon Square shopping center, open from 11 a day. E 'busy at weekends, but never so bad that you think should go. We never queued for more than 5 minutes for all trips. There are rides, a trace of the train, Ferris wheel, racing cars, ghost, fast, soft play, computer games and much more. The child love this place!
Funarium - Rama IV Road
Located directly on Rama IV Road, you can enter with a combination of Skytrain (up to Phrom Pong) and taxi or a bus. Funarium center is a huge indoor soft play, with huge jungle gyms, roller-skating area, soccer / basketball court, play soft for children and a higher region of art and crafts. Your children spend hours and (fingers crossed!) Are destroyed by the end!
Khao Kheow Open Zoo - Province of Chonburi
This is not Bangkok, but> Province of Chonburi, about one or two hours from Bangkok, depending on traffic. So you would need either a car or rent a book on a day tour. But if your child like zoos, this place is far ahead of Dusit Zoo in Bangkok. The animals are kept in open cages and seem to be maintained fairly well. There are several ways to feed some animals and elephants to drive for an additional charge. Another great day if you want to escape Bangkok for a while '!
Safari World - Minburi(Suburbs northeast of Bangkok)
This is another drive-through zoo, really need on the basis of Khao Kheow and again she would go to a book about the day-trip on him. See my website for pictures on the link below.
The malls around Bangkok
You will notice that they have a lot of shopping malls around Bangkok a sort of playground for children () is usually upstairs. All have a combination of cinema, bowling, ice skating and child-friendly restaurants.
SiamParagon Shopping Center - Aquarium and store toy department section
Although I personally do not like the place, Siam Paragon has a lot to offer to children! It 'a little aquarium' overpriced in the basement. That is, it will be a wide range of sea life and your children love to offer.
Even the toy section of department stores Paragon is great free entertainment for your little (when) it heartbreaking buy grip, has designed a lot of toys that your littleone is welcome to play with, and play area for seating and a couple of small rides and games.
There are other activities that can not be avoided this time, like a butterfly garden (near the Museum of Discovery), rent a pedal boat on the lake in Lumpini Park, or even a lap around the skytrain!
This is just a small selection of some children friendly activities that are available in Bangkok. Like everything in Bangkok, there are so many more are available when youmight think, just scratch beneath the surface and even a little 'research in advance. Of course you can always ask a local for some recommendations, which are always welcome here for you!
