Popular Post MeMock Posted January 14, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2012 What ever way I write this it may come across as being a little rude so I apologise in advance for that but........ Your kids is one year old, not 10. You take him/her with you where ever YOU want to go. They are happy with a cardboard box, a cuddly toy, some paper and a few pencils. No need to plan entertainment for them. Don't let kids dictate your holidays, the should be simply coming along for the ride! Good luck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgs Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Really? If you were in London/New York/Reyjavik what would you find for a 1 YO to do? They eat, drink, make a mess, sleep & bugger all else. Take pictures of him/her outside the uni waiting for the short-skirted girls to come out of class - that way you don't get hit for looking. I'm sure s/he would be ecstatic to go to the dinosaur museums. S/he can sleep there as well as anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryLH Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 There are a couple of parks that might be of interest. There is a nice one at the lake, in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeMock Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 i thought this was thai visa, not TD You are correct, it is Thai Visa. That is why I took the time and answered as politely as I could given the subject matter (always touchy when talking about your own family). I guess you didn't like my advise, sorry about that.

Patriot Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I thought that MeMock's replies above were a little insensitive and unnecessary. Between Khon Kaen is the Ubolrat Dam and reservoir. I'm sure a one year old will be more than excited with the scenic splendour of the lake as the topography rises up to the hills overlooking Nong Bua Lamphu. There is also a hydro-electric museum on the north shore which my 14 month-old is fascinated by. I am attending some Nuclear Physics seminars at the Khon Kaen University in which I'm sure any one year old would eagerly participate. There are numerous Karaoke establishments in town where we as a family all go, but I'm not sure about the diaper-changing facilities. Have fun.

rotary Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I know this sounds sarcastic but...........there is nothing much to do in KK for a 1 year old or for a 10 year old or for a 50 year old. ha ha Its a boring place in my opinion and I spent lots of time there quite a few years ago.

harrry Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 As it is Khon Kaen you could try taking the child to see ZZaa09. He should put anyone to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klikster Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Downtown, In reading your post one could ask whether you are talking about limitations of interests / sights / activities for: - a one-year old child - a couple with a one-year old child in tow One possible solution for both/either would be to engage a young Thai as a full-time traveling baby sitter. Thais are great with kids and kids seem to like the attention. All involved will likely benefit from the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
