stament Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Just wondering what kids can do in CM. I know of the play areas in Kad Suan Kaew and also Central Festival. Is there one at Central Airport? What else is there for kids to do? The park, zoo, swimming, bowling, cinema, etc. More interested in play zones and activities for 4 year and 8 year old boys. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microwave Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Suan Buak Haad is a public park located at the southwest corner of the moat (inside the moat) at the corner of Mahidol Rd./Boonruengrit Rd. and Changlor Rd. The kiddos can run around the park, feed the fish, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffkp Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Find a pool. Can never go wrong with swimming and it wears them out. Also a great way for them to meet other kids! Edited September 19, 2015 by Jeffkp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Go to the art museum with the 3D paintings on Chang klan road just south of Shangri-La - make sure you have a camera as it is all set up for you to enter the artwork and pose as part of the painting... Ice Skating at Central Festival - and whatever other attractions can be found in the brochures of tourist activities.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RapidMethod Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Night Safari is great for kids (they're open during the day also) - there's a sandy playground with swings and slides Cup Find Day behind Ratchapreuk botancial gardens is more "Thai" than Nic's (which serves almost exclusively western food and is therefore a bit pricey, and it's 60 baht for 1.5 liter bottle of water) Plenty of places that teach taekwondo for kids Kid's yoga at Yoga Mania (Canal Road, past Mae Hia market) Horse riding at Skill Center Mother and Toddler groups (where do you live?) e.g. Hang Dong Chiang Mai Playgroup, there's also one towards Mae Rim. Homeschool groups (contact me if you want for info and/or contacts as we're setting up a Montessori-style Homeschool Center). Mini golf at Thai at Swiss Resort and Restaurant (towards Sankamphaeng on the Airport Road) Edited September 19, 2015 by RapidMethod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expattom Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Take them to the Insect Museum and the Illusion Museum (Big fun and photo ops). I'll second the Insect Museum. A lot of cool bugs, spiders, butterflies, all kinds of creepy crawlies, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. My daughter absolutely loves it.

ggt Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I think your kids will enjoy this as it is unique...after a meal at McDonalds near the Trang Gate Chiang Mai...there is a vendor near a mote across the street from McDonalds that sells little packs of seafood pellets to feed the fish in the mote...feeding the fish is entertaining with a large number of colorful carp vying for the food... Actually, enjoyed feeding the fish myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingBear Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Try Horizon Village (just google it). It is few kilometers outside of town in Doi Saket. I was there a few years ago with a 6 year old boy and it was a wonderful few days. It has a large botanical garden with greenhouses, a large petting zoo, play structures, small lake with paddle boats, bike paths and bicycles to rent (don't know if you can bring your own), and a swimming pool. I doubt that it has changed much and it was well worth the small cost of admission. Only small drawback at that time was that all the explanations of the plants were in Thai, but if you have a Thai partner this will not be a problem.

Microwave Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 How could I forget the insect museum? My kids would have loved that place if it had existed whilst my kids were youngsters.

ChangMaiSausage Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm the opposite I want the kids outside rather than in play areas, try Huay Tung Thao lake about 12KM north of Chiang Mai great fun for the family you can spend the full day there. Buy balls, spades, plastic boats etc... on the way, set yourself up at one of the many restaurants around the lake (make sure you have access to toilets and showers for the wee ones) Adults can drink, eat and be merry (as long as your not driving) A great day out for all.

bvn346 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Last week I started a blog documenting all the places that my kids like to go in Chiang Mai. It has GPS coordinates for the locations. Some of the above suggestions I'm looking forward to trying out and including in the blog. In the meantime, here is the link, although there are only a few posts so far. cmwithkids.tumblr.com As for playzones, the ones I know of are at the following malls: Promenada Kad Suan Kaew MAYA Central Festival Night Safari Edited September 21, 2015 by bvn346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
