Days Out In BKK With 6 Year Old Girl

[tonymontana32]

I'm looking for new places to go with my daughter at weekends, we go to Koh Kret, feed fish, go to parks and animal parks etc but i am looking for new ideas/places to visit with her, we have a car so can travel anywhere easily.

Thanks in advance

She's go crazy for Kidzania. You might enjoy it less- it's a 'city' designed for children.

Although I get the feeling you're probably looking for more outdoors-ey type things..?

Take the riverboats, to koh kret you can go to the temple close to it (the last stop i guess, you can also eat there nice food on the market) and from there by longtail to the island.

Central Westgate has playgrounds and things for kids.

Swimming is always fun, going to that island infront of Pattaya is great, 45 minutes by boat.

Going to the market like Thonburi market in the weekend, see the animals they sell there...This weekend will be cool.

Bangkok is hardly suitable for kids. It's the world's biggest, sleaziest adult playground. Ladies and ladyboys of the night (and day) are literally everywhere.

You must be in a different Bangkok to me

Im guessing you never been to Bangkok.

Go to the Dusit Zoo right there in Bangkok. Plenty of space for her to run around. She probably will like the paddle boats, although you might be doing most of the paddling. And if you don't mind a bit of a drive south the Kao kew zoo is pretty fun for kids. You get to drive around in your own golf cart if you want.

Dusit Zoo is just right. My wife and I visited in March 2010. The heat of the day was mind-bogglingly hot but we had a nice time.

The Monitor lizards wandering about was therapeutic and the general flora and fauna is a joy in central Bangkok.

Yep. I loved sitting on the bench and chatting with the lizards. Cheap and easy fun. As a kid in the USA I had tiny little Anole (chameleons). Fun now as an adult to be able to go to zoos and outdoor places and see some good sized critters.

Go to the big waterpark in huahin.

Yeah, Funarium is a good call. Kids really enjoy it.

That post says way more about you than it does Bangkok.

Snake Farm is good for a few hours.

Dreamworld. I dunno but at 6 years old the thought of snowtown would be nice for her.

Take her to bounce on ratchada road, it's a huge trampoline playground, it's great fun (and exercise) for adults as well. My kids love it, and now prefer it to funarium. Weekends get a bit busy though.

[CWMcMurray]

Will have to check out bounce..
