How to Stay Safe in Bangkok


Bangkok is generally safe for travellers with children, but the standard travel precautions should be taken. Below are some tips for safeguarding your family’s well-being during your Bangkok holiday:
Don’t carry your passports with you. Pickpocketing and theft are common in Bangkok, and you will be better off leaving your passports at your accommodation. If you need identification, a passport photocopy or scan should suffice.
Bangkok has a high road accident rate. A third of accident victims are pedestrians, so be extra careful when crossing roads.
Drink only bottled water in Bangkok. Although Bangkok has potable water, the water often moves through old and broken pipes before entering the tap, leaving it vulnerable to contaminants.
To prevent a case of ‘Bangkok Belly,’ i.e. food poisoning, stick with piping hot food and avoid iced drinks from street stalls. Also say no to anything raw, such as seafood and fruit.
Another rule of thumb is to only patronise food outlets with a healthy crowd. If you are visiting an attraction, you can ask the staff for food recommendations nearby.
Worried about miscommunication and fare disputes with Bangkok’s taxi drivers? It’s much more hassle-free to use the ride-hailing app Grab instead.
Be respectful about the Thai royal family, as Thailand has a lese-majeste law in place, with stiff penalties for insulting the monarchy. A common situation that your family might face is hearing the Thai royal anthem played before a film screening in a movie theatre—if you notice most people in the theatre standing, it’s probably best to do the same.

What to Do in Bangkok with Toddlers and Young Kids

Have a Playground Adventure at Playmondo
Planning to shop and eat at Central World? Be sure to drop in at the indoor playground Playmondo. It’s for children up to 13 years old, but note that kids need to be at least 0.75m tall to enter. There are four play zones here, inspired by deserts, oceans, volcanoes, and forests. Let your kids crawl, climb, jump, and play to their hearts’ content!

Jump Around at BOUNCE Thailand
If you have children of varying ages, trampolining may be the perfect family activity. Located at the EmQuartier mall, BOUNCE Thailand is suitable for kids from ages three and up—parents and grandparents are welcome to join in too! Apart from being a good all-round workout, the mere act of jumping releases endorphins, putting everyone in a good mood, which is exactly what you need while on vacation.

Stay Cool at Pororo AquaPark
For fans of water theme parks, head to Pororo AquaPark Bangkok at the Central Bangna mall. In store for you is 10,000sqm of water fun, including speed slides, a splash playground, a jacuzzi pool, and a ‘lazy river’ for tubing (floating down the water for relaxation). Children under 1.2m must be closely supervised by an adult, and there is a shallow pool that younger children can splash in.

Explore a Heritage Home in Bangkok
Not a fan of crowded theme parks and playgrounds? Consider visiting the Bangkokian Museum—a compound of wooden bungalows from the early 1900s, nestled in a lovely shady garden. There is space for children to move freely, and parents can seek a peaceful respite from the city. Within the houses, you can peek at the life of an upper-class Bangkok family, and get a quick lesson on the history of Bangkok’s Bang Rak district.

Visit a Traditional Artist’s House in Bangkok
For a cultural experience that young ones will enjoy, bring your family to Baan Silapin, also known as The Artist’s House. Located by a canal and accessible by car or boat, this is where the entire family can watch a puppet show, or let creative juices flow at an art workshop. Should neither activity be available during your visit, settle at the in-house cafe for snacks and drinks, to relax and observe the rhythm of life along the river.

Discover Bangkok’s Amazing Underwater World
Oceanariums are fantastic places to take kids, even babies, for a visual treat. At SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World, located at the family-friendly Siam Paragon, there are over 30,000 fish on display! Children can also learn about other marine animals such as penguins, sea turtles, and jellyfish. Be sure to time your visits with the feeding shows, and if you have older kids, consider signing up for adventure experiences such as shark diving and riding in a glass-bottomed boat.

Have a Close Encounter with Snakes
If your kids are fascinated by slithery creatures, take them to the Bangkok Snake Farm to marvel at preserved snake bodies, as well as catch a ‘live’ snake performance featuring venomous cobras. At the end of the show, you’ll even get a chance to snap a souvenir shot with a python draped around you.

See the ‘Real’ Bangkok on a Cycling Tour

With Co van Kessel Bangkok Tours, you can book day or night tours, with the added option of combining cycling tours with a boat trip for a half-day experience. (Not confident on wheels? Check out their walking, boating, and tuk-tuk tours instead.)

Ride the Waves at Flow House Bangkok
If you have adventure-seeking teens, take them to Flow House Thailand for the “Flowrider,” an extreme sport activity influenced by skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, and wakeboarding! At Flow House, you will get to surf on artificial wave simulators at speeds between 38 and 48km/h. When everyone is ready to chill, gather for food and drinks at the in-house restaurant and bar.

To get away from Bangkok’s swanky megamalls, take your kids and teens to the Easy Karts Go-Karting Centre, which is located at the RCA Plaza, a low-key mall mostly patronised by locals. The go-karts here come in two sizes, for children and adults. You can also sit out and play spectator at the viewing area, while enjoying a drink.
