Bangkok is a popular holiday destination but it is not just about shopping. If you have children, planning a vacation with your whole family can be tricky. Young children tend to be fickle and activities such as shopping or sight-seeing may bore them to tears. Restlessness turns to tantrums and no one likes child tantrums, least of all when on holiday.
For those of you planning on a family trip with kids, fret not because Bangkok has an extensive array of child-friendly attractions that will surely provide your child and the whole family with a fun and memorable experience.
Here are 27 Exciting Kid-Friendly Attractions In Bangkok For Your Child’s Entertainment.

Alpaca View is a restaurant located in Ladprao-Wanghin road that is a half-an-hour drive away from the main Bangkok city. The restaurant serves pretty average food but the main draw is really the adorable alpacas that roam its farm. Feel free to snap a photo and feed them too – they really are quite gentle creatures.

Siam Park is a perfect place to bring your kids . There are lots of rides and fun games and pools that your kids will really love. We’ve been here for a couple of times but me and my family still get excited whenever we spend our weekend in this park.
You should really remove the Alpaca View since a lot of people read your blog, and not everyone will go and research on it. Singaporeans have been travelling there only to find that it is now deserted.
