Valjean Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
