The places from this trip
- CentralWorldHuge Christmas tree out front with elaborate kigurumi cosplayers posing for photos — great for kids.
- Chatuchak Weekend MarketOpen weekends only; take the BTS Skytrain straight from Siam. Loads of street food stalls plus clothes and souvenirs.
- Siam ParagonAt Christmas the plaza has golden Cartier arches and a cosplay crowd that gets even better in the evening.
- Pathumwan Princess HotelNot fancy but has everything a family needs, lovely staff and a perfect central location close to everything.
- Wat PhoFun for kids to strike the big gong, but the line to see the Reclining Buddha was at least an hour — she skipped it.
- Mil Toast HouseSiam Square Soi 3: the steamed chocolate babka is 'the tastiest yeast cake I've ever eaten', plus toast filled with butter and vanilla ice cream.
- SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World
- Siam SquareHandy base — her hotel was in the area and the Skytrain goes straight to Chatuchak market from Siam.
- Wat ArunSeen from the Chao Phraya River — the prang looks great from the water.
- Coco.nutCoconut ice cream with toppings in a smiley cup — a stop in section 2 of Chatuchak market.
- Tha Tien PierThey got off at the pier near the old Buddha temple; there's a market by the pier, decorated for the holidays.
- Chao Phraya RiverShe calls the river/klong boat trip a waste of time and money — both she and her daughter were bored after 15 minutes.
- Supanniga Eating Room Tha TienMichelin-recommended and needs a booking, but she says it wasn't worth the trip or price — same street food you find on any corner.
