In Thailand, January is a great time to start celebrating the country’s youngest citizens. Bangkok is a very forward-thinking city, and Thai people, in general, have incredible faith in their children and young people. As such, in January each year, citizens come together to celebrate Children’s Day. In this article, we’ll consider where you might want to celebrate the occasion in Pratunam.
Thai Children’s Day encourages families to give their kids the centre stage. It’s a great occasion to have fun and to celebrate youth! It’s called ‘Wan Dek’ locally, and there are various festivals and schemes set up to bring families out of their shells. If you’re visiting Bangkok with the family in January, it’s a great chance to get out and have some fun.
Visit the Children’s Discovery Museum
Pratunam is brimming with beautiful sights and sounds. Not only is it a great, lively district for couples and solo visitors, it’s also perfect for families looking to unwind and have some fun. If you’re in the area on Thai Children’s Day, why not head to the Children’s Discovery Museum?
The Discovery Museum is more than just a few educational exhibits. Open to young people and families from all over the globe; the centre lets children really let loose and explore. There are interactive vegetable gardens and dinosaur digs, for example! Kids can learn all about the natural world and different animals, as well as how their bodies work.
The centre is great fun for kids and a real diversion for parents. It’s a hands-on museum. Therefore, instead of throwing boring lectures and walls of texts and people, you can find your way around and explore the exhibits by testing and trying things out.
Many of us learn by copying and doing things, not by reading or listening. The same really does go for young children. Many kids get on well with hands-on education, especially as it gives them free reign to explore what interests them the most.
There’s probably no better time to visit the Discovery Museum than on Thai Children’s Day. There will likely be plenty of events and chances for families to come together for some colourful, educational fun.
