BEST BANGKOK HOTELS FOR FAMILIES
Whether you’re in Bangkok for a short trip or longer, my recommended family-friendly hotels in the heart of Bangkok will be perfect for the little ones. While perfect for keeping the uncle no one talks about far from Bangkok’s nightlife.
Having lived in Bangkok for many years, my friends often ask me to recommend affordable Bangkok hotels their kids will enjoy. Bangkok is a fantastic city, filled with amazing food and sights. But there are some areas where you probably don’t want your kids asking too many questions about. Yes, I’m talking about the red-light districts
As a parent to a curious 4-year-old, I already have enough ‘why’ questions to answer, so I know what it’s like.
I’m talking about Bangkok hotels with playrooms for toddlers to young teens: clean swimming pools, and train stations nearby for easy and quick travel.
You’ll love my top family-friendly recommendations in Bangkok!
3 BEST AREAS FOR BANGKOK FAMILY-FRIENDLY HOTELS
- Ratchadamri: Located right below the super busy area of Chidlom. Ratchadamri is known for posh hotels and luxurious condominiums. The Ratchadamri BTS station is nearby.
- Siam Square: The Bangkok version of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. It’s crammed full of luxury brand-name stores. And top-notch international hotels that are surprisingly not overpriced. Siam Square BTS station is right along this popular section of Bangkok.
- Pratunam: Crazy, hectic shopping for those looking to sell wholesale overseas. Or simply shopaholics. Because this area has many older but renovated hotels, the rooms are more spacious than recently built hotels in Bangkok.
All three areas are practically stacked on top of each other. With Ratchadamri in the south, Chidlom in the center, and Pratunam directly north. You can walk from the north section of Ratchadamri through Chidlom to the Pratunam in 20 minutes.
BEST FAMILY FRIENDLY HOTEL RATCHADAMRI
Quiet and peaceful part of Bangkok. If you can get a room with a view of the west side you’ll get a spectacular city view!
Grande Centre Point Ratchadamri ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is an amazing hotel. It’s crazy you can book a hotel room at this 5-star hotel in a terrific location for $150! For three adults and one child under 7 years stays free! And that’s for a 69 square meter grande suite! That’s plenty of space. There’s a washer/dryer and kitchenette with plates and cups. It’s a serviced apartment meant for long-stay visitors. But they also operate as a full-service hotel.
The rooms are clean and most of the rooms have a terrific view of the city beyond.
What’s great about this hotel for children and teens is the large playroom, a game room and there’s even a family home theater room on the hotel property.
It’s remarkably clean and well-managed I think everyone in your family will enjoy it. No doubt everyone will love the amazing tranquil swimming pool, spa, and fitness center.
The Centre Point is a chain of Thai-managed hotels. I stayed in many of their properties when I first started visiting Bangkok. I like them so much you’ll find another Centre Point recommendation below in Pratunam.

Sindhorn Midtown Bangkok ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
With a large Thai-branded playground right on the property of Sindhorn Midtown Bangkok Hotel your kids are going to love this hotel. Though rooms here cost high around $200 with a room occupancy maximum of 3. It is a luxury hotel with top-notch service and facilities. I think if you can find a room price you are comfortable with then go for it.
The location of the hotel is perfect with access to two BTS sky train lines, Chidlom BTS (300 meter walk) and Rathathewi BTS stations (400 meter walk).

BEST FAMILY-FRIENDLY HOTELS SIAM SQUARE
This area is hectic but with all the stuff going around it’s got something for everyone in the family!
Siam Kempinski Hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Okay, so this one is on the expensive side. But I tell you compared to hotel prices in the west and east Asia, Siam Kempinski is worth it. Especially when you see the smiles on the young ones’ faces. And strictly writing as a husband, you will earn enough brownie points from your wife to screw up the entire year. Cause we’re talking about $400 dollars a night for standard rooms. That’s for two adults and one kid under 13 stays free.
The fun family-themed rooms cost $1000 a night! That’s because there are two bedrooms and a room occupancy max. for three people.
Those are high season rates so if you can find it for at least 30% to 40% off I’d jump at the chance to stay in one of the poshest family-friendly hotels in Bangkok.
Located right behind Bangkok’s mega-mall Siam Paragon and many other malls, Siam Kempinski will feel like another world as you step inside. The design is classic yet modern with Thai touches. It’s right by the Siam Square BTS station so you can travel easily throughout central Bangkok and a little beyond.
But seriously your kids won’t care about that. All the kids want is to hang out at Siam Kempinski’s kid’s club all day. And you’ll never want to leave the luxurious swimming pools. Yes, there’s more than one swimming pool.
Their standard rooms are around 40 square meters for two adults and kids under 13 stay free.

Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m recommending the Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square mostly because it allows two children 15 years and under to stay free along with two adults. This is the first hotel I know of that has this policy. This is why I think this is a popular budget family-friendly hotel in the heart of Bangkok’s shopping center. The standard rooms cost about $175 per night and are around 30 square meters. It’s a bit tight for two adults and two young teens, but if your children are younger, it should be okay.
And of course, if you’ve got young children they will most certainly enjoy the hotel’s kids club and swimming pool.

BEST FAMILY-FRIENDLY HOTELS PRATUNAM
There are a few hotels perfect for families in this busy shopping district. Though the hotels I recommend in this section are older it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Older hotels offer guests bigger room choices. And of course, these hotels are renovated and upgraded periodically.
Centre Point Pratunam ⭐️⭐️⭐️
No surprise there is another Centre Point property on this list. It is managed by the same group running Grande Centre Point Ratchadamri, with budget room rates.
Centre Point Pratunam features spacious guest rooms for example their Grande Executives at 47 square meters. Three adults and one child 4 years of age and under can stay in these rooms for around $100. That’s a terrific deal!
Located on Petchburi Soi 15 there are many traditional Thai massage shops and popular local Thai food spots. The problem is this location has a serious car traffic problem during rush hour. The nearest train station is the Ratchathewi BTS station about 10 minute walk.
From Centre Point Pratunam, you can walk to Central World Mall and Siam Paragon Mall in 15 to 20 minutes.
