Bangkok for Kids & Families
The excitement of speeding along the Chao Phraya River in a noisy
tail boat, the fascination of watching a snake being milked of its
venom or a tuk-tuk ride through the city are just a few of the experiences
Bangkok has to offer both kids and adults. Getting around the city
is easy too with the Skytrain or underground. Bangkok offers enough
food choices to please even the pickiest four-year old, including
their favourite fast-food chain. And when it gets too hot, retreat
into one of the many air-conditioned indoor playgrounds for kids'
rides and computer games. And did we mention bowling, ice-skating
or go-karts yet? Or the butterfly enclosure? |
