Every major city and town in Thailand has a park for rest and relaxation – splendid they are, too! What’s great about them is they are really good places to take the children. Almost every park in Thailand has some form of activity available for children. You can hire bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, boats – virtually anything you want for your children’s entertainment! While the kids are playing you can get on with the important job of relaxing in the sunshine and having a picnic. Many parks are also often home to more refined types of entertainment. Orchestras, ensembles, pop bands… during the dry months you can see them all in Thailand's parks, often alongside street theatre. If you want to spend some quality family time in Bangkok, head for a park – you’ll be glad you did!
