timphenderson Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi everyone, I am coming to Bangkok in a couple of weeks with my wife and two kids (10 and 12 years old). We will be in Bangkok for around 4 days and are looking for fun things to do in and around Bangkok, aside from visiting the temples and going to shopping malls. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesterm Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hmm maybe take them on the river boat ride, visit Asiatique, there's also a Dinosaur planet along Sukhumvit now but I don't know how good it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Let Google be your friend. Key in "family attractions in Bangkok" & you'll get pages of things to do. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRascal Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Dinosaur planet is probably a good bet for kids of that age, it's only going to keep them occupied for an hour or so but it's good for some photos, the raptor part is fun. There's a water park on the roof of Central City Bangna There's a Snow Zone place on the top floor of ekkamai Gateway next to the BTS 4D cinema at paragon is quite cool if there's a good 3D movie on. Indoor surfing and bodyboarding http://flowhousebangkok.com/ Lazer tag http://www.lazgam.com/home.html Go karting http://easykart.net/bangkok-rca If your kids are into science or space there's the science museum and planetarium 5 minutes walk from Ekamai BTS There's ice skating at a lot of the malls Hopefully that should give you a few options!

giraffe76 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Dinosaur Park has just opened. Great for kids but need to go early as it gets hot. Escape Break at Sala Daeng BTS just opened as well. We got a flyer as we walked past yesterday during the walking street. My two kids loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timphenderson Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thanks for the feedback everyone, Will check these places out for the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunPer Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Dream World – has a whole day package including (Thai) lunch buffet and pick-up by minibus at Bangkok Hotel. Last we was there (a few years ago) it was 1,200 bat each. I think we paid an extra fee for access to Snow Town, which is bigger than the Snow Zone in BKK. You can book everything on the Internet directly from Dream World; they also gladly help with other excursions.TheRascal's proposals above are good; I use to go 4DX cinema with my daughter in Siam Paragon; there's only one 4DX-cinema, having a show starting about every 2nd hour; but also an iMax cinema there. On top-floor (same level as cinemas) is also a newly opened Madame Tussaud vax museum, and in the basement a big aquarium. Together with the extended variety of almost all thinkable kind food marts and restaurants, you can spend most of a day, or a full day, in Siam Paragon – wife may love to let you take the kids round to the attractions, while you let her borrow the plastic card(s) and walk by her own... I read that Bangkok Planetarium should re-open in January (2016), which I think is a possibility for our next Bangkok trip, article here.

djlest Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 loads of nice parks to go sit eat lunch, play on pedlos, feed fish and kids can play on the playground rides. Check out Paradise park and lumpini Another great and not expensive day out - Dussit Zoo Trips to the beach are only 2 hours away, i suggest Jomtien or Sattahip a bit farther but cleaner. Nong nuch gardens down that way is worth a day out too Also a massive new waterpark down pattaya way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manic Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Bangkok like the rest of Thailand is child friendly. There are some good suggestions here but how about the snake farm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserted Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Snake then crocodile farm is a good day out for kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesterm Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Also go to JJ market (chachutak), it's a pretty fun market compared to the rest. Next to it there's a big park with a lake, lots of people and families hang out there. It's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timphenderson Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hello everyone again, Just finished our holiday and want to thank everyone for their suggestions again. The Dinosaur Park and Ocean World were good days out for both us and the kids. We were going to go to Dusit Zoo but it rained so we went to Escape Break instead, which turned out to be loads of fun that also required us to use our brains. Thanks.

Thainess Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Leave the kids in the hotel room. Head straight to Nana Plaza. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a flyer as we walked past yesterday during the walking street. My two kids loved it. Could you tell me how much it costs please? I mean the dinosaur park. Dinosaur Park on Sukhumvit was 600 Baht to get in, it might be a little less for children but I am not sure as we paid full prices even for a 15 year old. The Dinosaur Eye (Wheel thing) was extra but I can not remember how much. It was an ok visit but one of the attractions was not working when we went and then there was a fire on the wheel a few week after so I am not sure if that is working now...but check when you are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
