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 ideal for keeping the uncle, no one talks about being far from Bangkok’s nightlife.
Having lived in Bangkok for many years, my friends often ask me to recommend affordable hotels in Bangkok that their kids will enjoy. Bangkok is a fantastic city, filled with excellent 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 redlight districts. Bangkok’s famous seedy nightlife is concentrated in a handful of areas.
As a parent to a curious 4 year-old, I already have enough ‘why’ questions to answer for a lifetime. 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. This area has many older but renovated hotels; the rooms are more spacious than those in 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 Pratunam in 20 minutes.
Speaking of Chidlom, I recently stayed at this super kid friendly hotel called Mövenpick BDMS Wellness Resort, which I wrote a review of recently, so go check it out!
BEST FAMILY FRIENDLY HOTEL RATCHADAMRI
It’s a 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 a fantastic 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 grand suite! That’s plenty of space.
There’s a washer/dryer for clothes, which comes in really handy for families. Plus a kitchenette with plates and cups so you can easily cook meals for your little fussy eater.
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 spotless 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. However, room prices here are higher, around $200, with a maximum occupancy of 3 per room. It is a luxury hotel with top-notch service and facilities, which explains the higher price tag. If you can find a room price within your reach, I think you should go for it.
The hotel’s location is perfect, with access to two BTS Skytrain lines, Chidlom BTS (a 300-meter walk) and Ratchathewi BTS stations (a 400-meter walk).

Centara Grand at Central World Hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This hotel will be a real treat for your children. Granted, there isn’t a playground on site. But there’s a massive shopping center attached to the hotel called Central World. Though there is a branch of Playmondo indoor playground inside, you have to pay for the entrance fee.
The Centara Grand is a Thai chain of hotels that adheres to international hotel service standards. This means you can expect exceptional service and hospitality.
Their standard Superior Hollywood rooms are big at 32 square meters. You can expect clean, spotless rooms with all the amenities at the ready.
And because the Centara Grand is the tallest building in the immediate surrounding area, your rooms will have a spectacular view of Bangkok.
It is an opulent hotel with all the works. A large fitness center for mom and dad. A calm, serene swimming pool for your kids to enjoy. With the Grand Central World Mall attached, there are just so many things to see, play, and restaurant choices.
Expect to pay approx. $225 USD per night after taxes. And of course, the season will greatly affect the rates, so if you can find it less than that, I’d go for it.

BEST FAMILY-FRIENDLY HOTELS SIAM SQUARE
This area is hectic, but with all the stuff going on, it’s got something for everyone in the family to enjoy!
Siam Kempinski Hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Okay, so this one is on the expensive side. But will 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 a night for standard rooms. That’s for two adults with one child under 13 to stay free.
I don’t know how deep your pockets run. They also have fun, family-themed rooms that cost $1000 a night! That’s because there are two bedrooms.
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 inside 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 to spend their day hanging out at Siam Kempinski’s kids’ club. And you’ll never want to leave the luxurious swimming pools. Yes, there’s more than one swimming pool. Your young ones will have so much fun they won’t want to leave.
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 mainly 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.
That’s why I think this hotel is popular among budget-conscious families in the heart of Bangkok’s shopping district.
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 a wider range of room sizes. 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 that 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.

The Amari Bangkok ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Amari brand is a popular hotel chain known for quality and top service. And I’ve stayed in several other Amari properties in the past, like Amari Hua Hin and Amari Vogue Krabi.
The Amari Bangkok is amazing as well. It’s an older hotel property, but renovated back in 2020. They make constant upgrades to make guests’ stays more enjoyable.
As an older hotel, this means bigger rooms. Their deluxe king rooms are 40 square meters, which is plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 children. Rooms even have bathtubs, which I like to mention cause my daughter loves taking baths.
And the rooms are clean, well maintained, and modern with a touch of Thai class. Location is excellent, in Pratunam shopping center and other malls like the humongous Central World Mall.
