The capital city of Thailand is one of the most unique cities in the world, mixing centuries of rich history with extreme modernity in stark contrast to one another. It seems something exciting is happening on every block, perhaps the reason Bangkok is the most visited city in the world for tourists.
Please note that this is not an itinerary submitted by an actual family. This day was planned by one of our travel experts as a recommendation for a family of children with ages 4 through late teens, based on knowledge of the city. Factors such as time, cost and distance have been considered to make this a great day to get a sense of the city and keep the children and teens interested and engaged.
