Bangkok with Kids: Aquarium, Wildlife Park and Ancient City in
Aquarium, Safari World, Ancient Siam, and the Erawan Museum make for a relaxed family trip to Bangkok.
Stay in Sukhumvit, where the Skytrain takes you to most sights. On day one, visit Siam Ocean World inside Siam Paragon and Lumphini Park. On day two, spend the full day at Safari World Bangkok watching shows. On day three, take an electric cart around Ancient Siam, then visit the Erawan Museum. On day four, take a boat ride along the river to ICONSIAM and Asiatique, then head to their malls and night markets. For the last half day, see the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho and Wat Arun. Each day includes only one major activity, with time for a midday rest. This itinerary suits families with preschool and primary school children.
There are many outdoor activities, so the cool season is best. In the rainy season, make more use of indoor malls and the aquarium.
