Brilliant Bangkok hotels with kids club and family activities

Bangkok is a fantastic city to visit with kids. It is home to a rich culture with temples, markets and museums to explore. The food is amazing and ranges from dirt cheap street food to world class fine dining. You’re unlikely to have much down time spent in a hotel but when you do you’ll want to make sure it’s as family friendly as possible, offering as much to keep the kids entertained as well as providing a much needed break for the grown ups. These are the best Bangkok hotels with kids club to book for your next visit.

Whilst I absolutely adore Bangkok and feel it’s a very easy place to visit with kids, the planning stage can be tricky. So have a look at my ultimate guide to Bangkok with kids which will hopefully answer any questions you have on what to expect when you arrive, things to do and the general planning process.

How to book a great hotel in Bangkok with a kids club

Just as a heads up on my process on booking great hotels with kids clubs. I will always start with a google search to make a shortlist. I then search up the hotels and read reviews on Tripadvisor. You can apply a filter for those traveling as families which always gives me a heads up on any special features for kids. I can also do a quick price comparison on Tripadvisor for the dates I am interested in. Then I check prices for the dates on Booking.com or Hotels.com to see if there are any special deals for when I am logged in which won’t show up on comparison sites. If I’m looking for a hotel in Asia then it’s always worth checking Agoda, I find them to be the best value.

Why chose a Bangkok hotel with a kids club

Kids clubs can be a bit hit and miss, sometimes they are wonderful and keep the kids entertained for hours, sometimes they’re basically just glorified babysitting facilities. You want to find one that is open for a decent amount of hours each day and runs organised activities to keep the kids entertained. Hopefully this will mean you can squeeze in a quick massage or relax by the pool safe in the knowledge that the little ones are as happy as you are.

I always find that a good kids club means that the hotel in general is well set up to welcome families and will often provide other kid friendly perks. They will have the best kids menus, good sized rooms and won’t mind some enthusiastic splashing in the pool.

Fantastic Bangkok hotels with kids club

The Peninsula

I have to start with the biggy and one of the best places to stay in Bangkok whether you’re traveling with kids or not. The Peninsula is an absolutely gorgeous hotel in a great location by the river.

Special features for kids at The Peninsula Bangkok

The Peninsula hotel is incredibly family friendly, so much so I’m sure the kids wont want to leave. The pool will be a real highlight and the hotel provides inflatables for the kids to play on. There are plenty of kid friendly amenities in the room including cribs, sterilisers and toiletry packs with nappies if you require them. All rooms have bathtubs and are beautifully designed. They also have high chairs in the restaurants and a complimentary shuttle boat, delightfully adorned with fairy lights, to get you easily to the BTS. You can also get a free shuttle boat to nearby Asiatique outdoor shopping mall where you’ll find Bangkoks Big Wheel, the Disney 100 village and some fabulous restaurants.

Families of three will easily fit in most of the rooms although if you’re a group of four or over you’ll need to book a suite. Or you can book interconnecting rooms. Each restaurants will be happy to tailor food to your kids preferences – just tell them if they like less spicy or plain.

Whilst they don’t have a traditional kids club where you can leave little ones for the day, the hotel runs the Peninsula academy which has excellent lessons for kids and grown ups. Popular activities include the junior chef program where kids between 6 and 11 can learn how to cook family favourites such as pizzas and brownies and the Thai painting class for those who want to learn something a bit more creative. Both sessions are an additional charge.

They do offer a babysitting service for a charge if you want to spend some time in the spa.

Ramada Plaza Wyndham

One of the best value Bangkok hotels with kids club is the Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Grand Menam hotel in Riverside. You can read about our stay at this family friendly riverside hotel for more details on the property and service.

This means no having to double book rooms or upgrade to a suite to squeeze the family in.

Anantara Riverside

I absolutely love Anantara hotels and have stayed at them in Bangkok, Phuket and Koh Samui. They’re always super luxurious and very family friendly. That’s why two of them have made it into my list of the best Bangkok hotels with kids club.

First up is their Riverside property which feels like a perfect oasis of calm in the middle of the hectic city. The pool is surrounded by lush greenery. It’s likely to be your kids favourite part of the hotel. The stunning decor is traditional Thai with all the modern features you’d expect from the 5 star chain.

I think the Sanook Sanook kids club at the Mandarin Oriental is the best kids club in Bangkok. They have heaps of organised activities, all run by highly “Kid’s Coordinators”. It’s available for ages 3 to 14 and is home to books and board games, Playstations, Nintendos and Xboxes. They have a wealth of craft activities available and plenty of movies to choose from. There is a small additional fee to use the kids club. This really is one of the best Bangkok hotels with kids club for complete luxury.
