Why this trip

Bangkok is loud, hot and full of smells, and that is exactly why it fascinates children, provided the day is well divided. From November to April is the time to visit, because it is somewhat drier, and in the morning you can experience the most before the heat rises. The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha gleam golden, and children marvel at the mythical creatures on the walls, though shoulders and knees must be covered. At the Jim Thompson House Museum, a garden with teak houses shows how people used to live.

The King Power Mahanakhon offers a view over the city from its glass floor, for children who like heights. In the afternoon a boat trip on the Chao Phraya suits well, calm and with a breeze. For getting around, families use Grab and the BTS Skytrain, which means short distances and cool breaks. Chiang Mai, Krabi, Koh Jum and Phuket are the next stops, but Bangkok is best suited to two to three nights.

The flight time is around eleven to twelve hours, and entry is visa-free for up to 60 days. Do not drink tap water, only bottled water.
