7 Kid-friendly Restaurants And Play-Places For The Whole Family In Bangkok, Thailand
HappyMom.Life has got something for every kid – the adventurer, the daydreamer and even the one that belongs with the Addams’ Family. Filled with fun, laughter and good food, Bangkok has quite an array of family-friendly cafes and restaurants that will delight everyone from the kids to the adults. Expect to see your little ones tackle challenges, overcome hurdles and my personal favourite: uninhibit their imagination. It’s going to be a pretty wild ride.
Big Dog Cafe
This place will have your little ones falling in love with dogs of all shapes and sizes. From large breeds such as an Alaskan Malamute, a milk white Chow Chow, the cutest fluffy English Sheepdogs and more – check out more of their doggos here. While the dogs might be the highlight, they do serve pretty tasty pasta too. And if you’re lucky, you might get to see the doggos swimming in their special doggy pool too!
It’s also the perfect opportunity to show your kids that they shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. A big, intimidating dog can still be a puppy at heart. (Of course, while the dog handlers are on the scene to ensure safe interaction with the dogs, do be sure to keep a watchful eye on your kids!)
