A backpacking hub in Southeast Asia and a choice jump-off point to other destinations along the “Banana Pancake Trail”, Bangkok may strike non-backpackers as wild, rough, and not family-friendly. ΑΛΛΑ! That is absolutely not the case. I was one of those who dismissed it as one that is only good for solo travelers or those adventurous groups of friends, but my recent check out verified that Bangkok has a pocketful of treats not only for solitary wanderers but also for those traveling with family.
The city is easily accessed by means of its main airport — the Bangkok international airport (Suvarnabhumi). many airline companies fly to Bangkok from Manila. I’ve flown from Manila to Bangkok (and back) by means of Philippine Airlines during my recent trip. friend flies to Bangkok from Manila three times daily. It also uses a daily schedule for Cebu-Bangkok route. PAL’s wide-body aircraft, like the Airbus A330, usually serves this route because of the large volume of passengers.
Being a transportation hub, Bangkok is much easier to navigate compared to the other neighboring cities. aside from its accessibility, Bangkok boasts a large selection of accommodations, from budget to high-end. The city is also brimming with shopping options, from side streets to big malls. and have I pointed out the night markets? All these and a lot more make Bangkok one of the best choices for those wanting an out-of-the-country trip with the whole family. here are some of those family-friendly attractions in Bangkok.
