Bangkok

Edited by the ErBiage editors

TL;DR

Plan a family trip to Bangkok. What to do with kids, best time to visit, where to stay, and family tips from ErBiage.

Bangkok is loud, hot, generous, and completely built for families that don't mind a little chaos. Skytrains glide over gridlocked streets, night markets spill out around your kids' feet, and the food — from a 30-baht bowl of noodles to a Michelin-starred boat ride — is arguably the most kid-friendly cuisine on earth. The city rewards families that don't try to see it all: pick a walkable base like Riverside or Sukhumvit, use the BTS and boats to escape the traffic, and build slower mornings around temples and hotel pools before the afternoon heat. The Grand Palace and Wat Pho are non-negotiable — go at opening. Chatuchak weekend market is theatre for teens. Chinatown after dark is a food crawl even picky eaters remember. Add a longtail-boat ride through the khlongs and one indulgent hotel afternoon (Bangkok has some of the world's best five-stars at three-star prices), and you have a week that lands.
