OneMoreFarang Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 My gf brought her 10-year-old relative to Bangkok because he wanted to visit her and the city. We have no children and are not used to children in Bangkok. What are good places to go? Free entertainment is fine, but I am also willing to pay some entrance fees. We had already ice-cream in Terminal 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something similar in the middle of the city not too far away from lower Sukhumvit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat is a type of crazy Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Trip on the BTS to the big shopping centres will be pretty exciting for a 10 year old kid from the country. You would know better than me but times I have been there they often have things going on outside - music, cars on display, or similar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Also, don't poo-poo Soi Cowboy. Loads of eating on soi 23, "oh dear, we have to walk down soi Cowboy" He'll love the bright lights and the girls will adore him (obviously don't go inside), have a beer outside and watch the fat farangs with their rentals ???? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDisplayName Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Ride the canal boats. Jump on and off, visiting sights along the canals. Is the Batcat museum/toystore at LamSali (Bangkapi Mall) still open? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat_4_life Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I know u said country boy, but does he ever get a chance to go fishing where he lives? Some pretty large fish here, Beung Maruay - think it was like 100 baht entrance 100 baht rod rent, maybe 50 baht for bait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was that particular canal. Nice quick way to get around though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
