Family Adventures in Bangkok That Will Inspire Your Next Tour: From Siam Paragon to Chatuchak Market
Heading to Bangkok for the holidays? Here’s what to include in the perfect itinerary, from exciting aquarium adventures below a flashy mall, to temple excursions rich in culture and regal splendour.
ICONSIAM
Located on the edge of the Chao Phraya River, ICONSIAM is a shopping playground – with numerous shops, pop-up stalls, and a unique design that feels like you’re stepping into a luxurious amusement park. Grab a bite to eat in the indoor floating market, take photos of the gorgeous indoor waterfall, and shop for novelty souvenirs at toy stores, pop-up stalls, and more!
Siam Paragon
Just a few minutes away from hotels like Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, Siam Paragon is another must-visit mall that blends shopping with entertainment. Home to a large aquarium, cinema, and various restaurants and cafes, it’s the perfect excursion from your family hotel in Bangkok.
Dog in Town
Beyond the malls, some of Bangkok’s famous dog cafes are absolutely worth the hype. With branches in Ekkamai and Ari, Dog in Town offers an adorable experience with its fluffy residents, from chunky Samoyeds to dramatic Shiba Inus. Each cafe fosters a gentle environment that’s perfect for both the kids and the animals.
Chatuchak Market
While some markets may not be very family-friendly, Chatuchak Market is a great spot to explore for bargain deals, unique items, and delicious food. The market is a bit of a maze, though, so be sure to stay vigilant and keep track of everyone in the group.
The Grand Palace
For a bit of cultural immersion and an enchanting adventure, head to The Grand Palace – a fairytale-esque scene of golden structures, intricate statues, and a regal atmosphere. Be sure to drop in on the Emerald Buddha, a majestic statue made entirely out of the precious gemstone.
