3 Days in Bangkok with Kids

This Bangkok family itinerary mixes the Grand Palace and river boats with cooling breaks, low-stress food choices, and kid-friendly malls so the heat never takes over the trip. It avoids overlong temple marathons, builds in hotel pool time, and uses BTS, taxis, and boats where each makes sense for parents traveling with children.
