Travelling to Bangkok with a Baby, Toddler or Young Child

Bangkok is an exciting place to visit with a baby or toddler however careful planning is required to ensure that you optimize your time there. The footpaths can be poor in quality and the city gets congested. Boat trips can be tricky with strollers so make sure you pick the right one.

The sights can also be busy and many of them are not stroller friendly so a baby carrier or sling is ideal when travelling to the city. On the up side, Thai people tend to be warm and friendly and will pay loads of attention to your child. Bangkok is also a large city and you will be able to find your baby and toddler essentials here.
