If you’ve ever been to Thailand in January before, you probably know about National Children’s Day. It’s a celebration which takes place on the second weekend of the New Year. As its name suggests, it is all about family fun! Across Bangkok and Pattaya, many public businesses open their doors to big events and fun days for all the family.
It’s a chance for parents to celebrate the youngest members of their brood, and they often do so by taking them to special events and parties as well as educational exhibitions. As Bangkok and Pattaya are so well-connected, it’s always easy to get out and sample everything the major cities have to offer.
But where are the best places to enjoy National Children’s Day? We’ve taken a look at areas across Bangkok recently – but loads of stuff is happening in Pattaya.
Head to City Hall
If you’re visiting outside of Bangkok and want to take in the best children’s activities and fun this January, you’re going to want to visit Pattaya City Hall. Why? It’s here where all the significant events and parties happen. Citizens are already aware that there are road closures heading into the start of January. Yes – it really is that big an occasion!
The official celebrations in the area will primarily take place at City Hall as it’s a central location. It’s where much of the town planning and event administration takes place, making it a central point for many people visiting the area.
In early January, however, the location takes on a different shape entirely! In 2020 the Hall opens up for thousands of children and parents, where everyone is welcome at the venue, and parents can sign kids up for wristbands for flexible entry.
City Hall offers up games booths, exhibitions and even prize draws. Therefore, there may even be the chance for the family to come away with a few freebies on the day! The events at City Hall take place to help promote young citizens’ worth. Thailand is a country that is immensely proud of its young people and the future that awaits them.
Elsewhere in the Region
Family fun doesn’t have to start and end on National Children’s Day. In fact, the area is well-known for its variety of fantastic activities and attractions. Pattaya’s days as a fishing community may be well behind it; however, that doesn’t mean it’s not thriving.
One of the most popular family attractions in the area is the Cartoon Network Amazone Water Park. If you and the kids like nothing more than a few flumes and to splash around, it’s well worth booking tickets for. You can also try out go-karting in the local area. Believe it or not, the main city track welcomes children as young as one year old!
Do also make sure to take in the incredible Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum. It’s one of the most prominent museums of its kind in the country, and it’s crammed full of hundreds of fascinating exhibits. If you and the family are in search of fascinating facts and figures, there really is no better place to turn to.
You can, of course, always go fishing! The district was once known as a major fishing hub, and thankfully, there are still plenty of angling opportunities. Fishing can be a fascinating family activity, and you can rent tools and spots to cast lines from across the city.
