Expect to see your little ones tackle challenges, overcome hurdles and my personal favourite: uninhibit their imagination. It’s going to be a pretty wild ride.

1. Adventures aside, even little princes and princesses need to take a break – Teddy Castle

Who can say no to this beautifully decorated castle filled to the brim with fluffy teddies?

This castle holds many wonders and every angle seems to be crafted just for instagram. From walking the drawbridge to entering the dining hall, you’ll feel its childlike grandeur and marvel in it.

At this wondrous place, I’m sure you’ll be able to get your kids to eat just about anything, but their Strawberry and Seaweed Salad (180 Baht) has been recommended quite a few times. However, I’ve got my eye on the Croissant Benedict (350 Baht).

2. Got a fussy kid? I know just the place (there’s a pool too!) – Melange Bangkok

I’m a pretty fussy eater myself and I pity anyone who takes my order, because even I know it can be annoying.

But here, you can design your own breakfast! Add as much cheese or bacon to your eggs and have them done exactly to your liking.

Aside from a kid’s playroom, there’s also a pool for the waterbabies, so make sure you bring a change of clothes.

3. If you and your kids share a love for dogs, look no further – Big Dog Cafe

This place will have your little ones falling in love with dogs of all shapes and sizes. From large breeds such as an Alaskan Malamute, a milk white Chow Chow, the cutest fluffy English Sheepdogs and more – check out more of their doggos here.

It’s also the perfect opportunity to show your kids that they shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. A big, intimidating dog can still be a puppy at heart. (Of course, while the dog handlers are on the scene to ensure safe interaction with the dogs, do be sure to keep a watchful eye on your kids!)

While the dogs might be the highlight, they do serve pretty tasty pasta too. And if you’re lucky, you might get to see the doggos swimming in their special doggy pool too!

4. For the adventurous and imaginative explorers! – Mocking Tales

Looking to visit a magical Harry Potter-esque cafe?

The desserts they serve are a treat to behold. Not only do they glow, some even catch fire.

You can even take a bite out of the Poisoned Apple (260 baht) which is dipped in homemade caramel and served with apple sorbet and crumble.

It’s sad how much we lose our magic as we grow older, but here you can step through the gates and fight dragons together with your child in one hand and a coffee in another.

With the medieval fantasy decor, you can relive your wonder years as the treasure hunter, mermaid princess or sorcerer’s apprentice.

5. Watch your kids through a sanitised play ‘aquarium’ while you eat  – Monkey And Me

An aquarium filled with fun (and cleaned every hour)!

There’s a room with a trampoline for a floor, numerous ball pits – and one featuring a rock-climbing wall, and other little nooks and crannies for the little ones to explore.

All visible from the dining area, so you can eat in peace.

When the kids are all played out and hungry, there’s a kids’ menu filled with delightful snacks and creative drinks.

6. Break out all the board games you could possibly imagine – More Than A Game Cafe

If they aren’t interested, tell them these board games are how you develop superpowers. Or, let them choose one that tickles their fancy.

There’s such an extensive library of board games here – that I don’t even know where to begin, but you can be sure they have the classics like.. Monopoly!

If you’d like to play these games back home with the kids, you can also bring home whatever fun games catches your eye. With prices starting from as low as 150 Baht.

There’s also a menu filled with waffle options, but you can also get proper meals. If you manage to try Kurobuta Pork steak with Potato Gratin (195 Baht), please leave a comment and tell me how yummy it is.

7. Make a splash in the lake or have a hoot with the owl – Play Farm Restaurant

Doubling as a petting zoo and ‘edutainment’ (read: education + entertainment) area, you can show your children what owls, chickens, geese and swans look like.

You can also get physical, pick up a paddle and jump into a canoe with the kids. And when you’re spent, there are inviting bales of hay for you guys to lounge about and talk about nonsensical things – little moments that will be cherished.

8. If you’re happy and you know it, meow like a cat – Caturday Cat Cafe

Even though they have a rich menu, you’re only required to order a drink in order to play with all the furries.

Buuuut, the Thai Milk Tea crepe cake comes highly recommended and it goes nicely with an ice latte.

This is the perfect opportunity to teach your young ones how to treat animals gently, and nurture that tender kindness.

9. For kids with a love for magical halloween stories – Kaethy the Witch

Time seems to have stood still for this cafe, freezing it on the 31st of October all year round.

Filled with witchy decorations with a serving of spider-cupcakes, it’s a sight for those who can’t get enough of the magical witchiness – Harry Potter, anyone? You might consider getting them some Emily the Strange back-to-school stuff here too.

The food also plays on the magical side, but do be warned, this cafe is for older kids only as it can be slightly creepy for the younger ones! The spider doesn’t seem too bad though…

10. Nobody hates bunnies, they are soft and fluffy and oh-so-cute – Rabbito Cafe

Right? People might complain that dogs are annoying and cats are noisy, but rabbits basically mind their own business, don’t make a sound and they have the whole “act cute” charade down pat.

There’s no danger of your kids getting scratched by claws here, and you can truly appreciate their wonderfully calm demeanor. You might even spot the guinea pigs hiding amongst the fluffy bunnies.

By the way, there’s a spaghetti called White White, which is supposed to be quite good, so  maybe you’ll want to give that a try.

11. Go on a fun-filled adventure without actually leaving Bangkok – Ban Nam Kieng Din Restaurant (บ้านน้ำเคียงดิน)

The European-esque landscape will have you in disbelief. How can this still be Bangkok?

But it is… Stroll through the gardens paved with statues and even feed the swans. May the grace of the elegant birds, inspire the curiosity of your children.

The food is also one of their key features, with the Pork Leg being recommended over and over again. If you’re up for it, perhaps it’s something not to be missed.

12. If you can imagine it, you can make it – Perhaps Rabbits’

It’s like playing with playdoh but the only difference is, once you’re done, you can eat it!

Unleash your child’s inner Picasso by giving them free reign. It really fits their whole Alice in Wonderland theme. Creative chaos.

Spend some quality time bonding over creating something together and make memories that last here.

Of course, if you’re not up for it, you can order anything from their menu and have your food prepared for you… But where’s the fun in that?

13. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s all the superheroes you can think of – Play Cafe

And more! This is a dream come true for most kids because who are their idols?

Heroes and princesses (who are basically heroines in their own right). Their figurines line the shelves and you’ll probably find a long lost hero, yourself.

They call this the perfect combination of eat and play. So be merry and enjoy this wonderland with your kids! (Be warned, your kids will definitely be budgering you to get them a new toy or 2 at the end of the day. :P)

14. Finally a grown up brunch spot that you can bring your kids to! – Brainwake Cafe

Complete with a kids’ menu and a kids’ corner so you don’t have to worry about them interrupting your grown up time with your friends.

This is just a really nice spot to hang out because it’s got those young but sophisticated vibes going on, not to mention: it’s brunch.

It’s also a good place to squeeze in some quality time with your partner too, while you two look fondly over your children entertaining themselves like little ladies and gentlemen.

All you need is a mimosa to make that moment complete.

Special Mention: Have a ball (pit) with your littles – Fun Café at the Funarium

This is more of an amusement park that happens to serve food, but they do have a pretty complete menu so we won’t write them off just yet.

Just look at all the activities your children can enjoy: tunnel slides, ball pits, trampolines, rock-climbing…

There’s even an art room filled with supplies, bikes and scooters for them to ride (provided they wear a helmet) – and sometimes they have rollerblading sessions, as well as basketball or soccer games.

If you’re extremely patient and don’t mind waiting around all day, go on a weekday. But if you don’t want to be stuck there while your kids have all the fun, there’s a 3 hour limit on the weekends.

When people give you that look for bringing your kids to Bangkok, just smile – because you know about these fun cafes to keep your kids entertained and happy.

Now let’s show your little ones why this country is called Land of Smiles, by giving them something to smile about!

We’re also sure that you will be enjoying yourself and satisfying the Peter Pan that lives on in all of us.
