Bangkok for Kids<

/h2>

There are lots of things to do in Bangkok with kids. The city has a variety of family-friendly attractions, playgrounds, and activities to suit kids of all ages.

Facilities

Kids are welcome in most places. Thais like children and are particularly fascinated by western children. The modern shopping malls and some attractions offer complimentary pushchairs and have modern toilets with baby changing facilities. Out on the streets, if you have younger children, slings are better than pushchairs as the pavements are often blocked or damaged. It also makes it easier to get on public transport. Breastfeeding in public is frowned upon so try to do it in private.

Food & Shopping

Foodwise, there are many western restaurant chains in the malls, if you dont want your kids to eat spicy food. Most chain restaurants have high chairs for young children. The supermarkets are well stocked with diapers, milk formula, and baby food. Department stores usually have a whole floor donated to kids clothes and accessories. There are branches of Mothercare and Toys R us at Central World and Iconsiam.

Parents should apply a mild mosquito repellent to childrens exposed skin after dark though bites are irritating and rather than dangerous.

Popular Kids Attractions

One of the cities best attractions is Sealife, an aquarium in Siam Paragon Mall. It features over 8,000 sea creatures including sharks and penguins. The best part is the glass tunnel where you can view sharks close up. If you?re brave enough you can even dive with sharks. There are several shows including penguin and sea-lion feeding.
