Can anybody please recommend any nice but not too expensive hotels in Bangkok near the Uk embassy or in that area ?

Me the wife and kids (girls aged 4 and 5) will be spending 3 days in Bangkok on embassy business .The middle day is totally free hopefully so i need some suggestions on a nice day out (family attraction) eg zoo, parks etc..

Anybody with any ideas and positive experiences ?

There are many shopping areas in Bangkok. These include: Silom, Siam Square, Ratchadamri, Pratunam, Ploenchit and Bang Lamphu. The main markets include Chatuchak Weekend Market, Nailert Market, Pratunam Market, Banglamphu Market and areas around Chinatown.......................................................................

brilliant thanks for that just what i was looking for .........

Good job Bambina!

There are a few places, not sure where except for Central Bang Na (been there), that have water parks on the top. Pools, tubes, slides. I know there are several and any hotel could get you in a cab or BTS to one. Never knew a kids who couldn't stay in the water for half a day...

They might be a little young but renting a long-tail boat for a ride through the Thonburi canals is nice. Bring snacks and drinks and make a little party of it. Leave from Tha Tien.

Go see a movie and sit in the deluxe theater – lazy boy leather vibrating seats with blankets. Nothing like it in the West. Of course they will just fall asleep but what’s wrong a sleeping 4 & 5 year old?

Hire a hotel babysitter and have a fun night with your wife. Take her to Vertigo then out dancing at Bed or someplace like that.

Have fun,
