With summer holidays fast approaching you may be thinking about how you will keep your child engaged and stimulated while school is out.
A perfect Saturday or Sunday plan is a day at the park. Bangkok has a number of great parks that are suitable for families with young children. Here are Trip Advisors top 10 –THE 10 BEST Bangkok Parks (Updated 2024) – Tripadvisor
Here are some tips to plan a great morning or afternoon at the park.
- Apply sunscreen on everyone before leaving and dress for the weather.
- Pack a picnic snack or lunch
- Bring a mat or piece of cloth to sit on.
- Explore the park – many parks will have a variety of natural areas to explore such as treed areas, flower gardens, and ponds. Visit them all!
- Talk to your child about what their 5 senses are picking up. What do they hear, see, smell, taste, and how different things feel to touch.
When heading out to the park, it is good to have a rough game plan, but it’s also important to be flexible and to “go with the flow”.
Give your child the opportunity to lead you… follow them on their wanderings of interest and you just might see something from a new perspective.
Have fun… It’s a walk in the park!
