Whether you’re in Bangkok for the first or fortieth time, choosing the ideal hotel is never easy. As with any big, modern and cosmopolitan city, there is an overload of choice. As we age and mature, our tastes and budget change. Whether you’re travelling as an intrepid single, loved-up couple or inquisitive family makes a significant impact on your hotel preference.
Let’s focus on the last of these types: the family. If you’re travelling as a familial unit, you’ll want to consider which Bangkok hotel with a family room is best for you and whether or not the hotel offers other special amenities and services that you’ll need, for example, kids’ club, connecting rooms, babysitting service, children’s menus, etc.

We’ve divided the city up into the main areas: Riverside, Sukhumvit and Silom / Siam. Within each section, we’re provided you with a list of the top ten family-friendly activities you can do there.
