Thai National Children’s Day, which takes place on the second Saturday of every January, is a countrywide celebration. Across Bangkok and Pattaya, Thai citizens and tourists take part in huge parties and events.
For families, there are some fantastic opportunities to have fun with the kids. Many big malls and public businesses hold special exhibitions and days out. There may even be a few chances for the kids to learn something new! In any case, if you are thinking of bringing the kids along to Bangkok in the near future, think about booking in January.
But where are some of the best places to spend Children’s Day? Bangkok is likely to be much bigger than you imagine! Thankfully, with Centre Point Hotel locations and handy BTS stops along the way, you’re never too far removed from something fun to do.
Check Out the Gateway Mall
If you’re heading to Thong Lo at any point in your travels, head to the Gateway Mall. It is a colossal shopping centre which houses shops and stores across eight staggering levels. While Bangkok is well-known for its shopping precincts and big malls, Gateway offers something a little bit different.
This mall takes inspiration from alternative Eastern culture. That is, it’s heavily inspired by Japan’s shopping experience! It’s hugely popular with visitors who enjoy Japanese culture as well as cuisine. Not only that, but it’s also famous for its wide array of technology stores and shops. It’s also one of the more affordable malls to eat at across the city.
On National Children’s Day, the Gateway Mall opens things up to families. Head here during January and you will likely find plenty of themed events and activities for young people and their parents. The second weekend in January is a great time to start seeking out huge exhibits and fun days.
Gateway’s Children’s Day activities will change from year to year. However, it is always worth keeping an eye on the mall’s social media for the latest news. It’s very easy to get to from BTS stops. Therefore, you’ll never have to stretch your legs too far to get a taste of some family fun.
Elsewhere in Thong Lo
Thong Lo, also known as Thonglor, is a haven for family fun and activities to appeal to kids of all ages. As well as the Gateway Mall, there is a trampoline park out at Bounce Bangkok. Children as young as three can join in some acrobatic fun with their parents at this hugely popular resort.
There’s also the Funarium Indoor Playground, where giant soft play areas await you. It’s ideal for younger kids who love to explore. It’s something of a soft maze, though it’s never tricky to get out of.
Above all, Thonglor offers some wonderful, unforgettable family experiences. It is a gorgeous side of the city, with scores of shopping experiences and tantalising, traditional eateries. Many families – as well as couples and solo travellers – choose to stop here. From art galleries to nature walks, you can tailor your Thai holiday your way.
Staying in the Area
Naturally, you’re going to need to find somewhere comfy and classy to stay. Centre Point Serviced Apartments Thong Lo offers up a variety of spectacular serviced apartments in Bangkok for solo visitors, couples and families.
Centre Point is close to Thong Lo BTS station. Therefore, if you do want to explore celebrations taking place in January, you’re in a prime position!
