Cafe admission starts from ฿250/pax (~S$9.60), which entitles you to a free drink. You can also upgrade and get a free corgi-themed tumbler for ฿550/pax (~S$21.11). Each session lasts for an hour, so you’ll have plenty of time to hang with the pups and snap a thousand photos for the mems.

Not just a facade, the town also houses actual stores selling Japanese ice cream, snacks, and drinks.

6. Get your hands dirty at a rustic farm & adventure park

Image credit: @risatoi_bkk via Instagram
If there’s anything better than an indoor playground, it’s a free indoor playground. That’s not to say it’s any less exciting than all the other BKK play areas out there. Quite the opposite – Skynet Playground at Lasalle’s Avenue is a suspended playground hanging 3 storeys in the air above a mall.
Image credit: @montessoriwithus.th via Instagram
Your little “Spiderman” need not hold back here, with climbing swings, rings, and even rope ladders that connect one level of the climbing nets to the next.

21. Rent a bike to explore the artificial island of Bang Kachao
Image credit: @margoaroundtheworld via Instagram
Bangkok is a city so it only makes sense that it’s a concrete jungle (where dreams are made of). But much like how New York has Central Park, Bangkok has Bang Kachao. Now, while it may sound like a mysterious keropok, this is actually an artificial island at the Southern end of the city, along the Chao Phraya River.
Image credit: @supbangkachao via Instagram
It hums with water activities like stand-up paddling, but most tourists favour cycling around the island. For just about ฿100/day (~S$3.85) a day, rent a nifty 2-wheeler to explore the temples, villages, and restaurants on the island. Some have even proclaimed this to be better than the popular Lumphini Park – though we’ll leave it to you to decide if that’s true.
Getting there: From Wat Khlong Toey Nok temple, rent a motorboat to bring you across the river to get to Bang Kacao. This should cost around ฿10 (~S$0.40).

Imagine having free reign over a Toys”R”Us store. That’s roughly what you can expect with a ticket to Forest of Play, an indoor and outdoor playground decked out in interactive toys.
While the kid’s playroom back home may have a handful of toy trains and building blocks, things are multiplied a hundredfold here with long choo-choo train tracks and walls of toys for the kids’ imagination to truly run free.
Catch a breath of fresh air in their outdoor zone, where your tots can attempt to make the largest bubble possible with soapy solution, sticks, and ropes.
