OK so it’s not really Bangkok because I can’t muster the strength to drag my tired kids into town. But this hotel is a great intro to Thailand for the kids. I’ve written about this airport Best Western before but now I’ll comment from the perspective of kid-suitability. The best two kid-friendly features are the pool, which has a shallow, walled-off area perfect for little ones. The second is the staff: they love to smile, hug and kiss my kids. This is good because they are going to be getting alot of attention from Thai/Burmese people and this is a contained introduction.
WanderBoy can say “Sawadikah” and knows how to wy. He does neither when I want him to naturally but it’s cute when he agrees to.
Another nice kid-friendly aspect, is the huge Tesco grocery store a 60 baht taxi ride away. There are cheap restaurants around and all the diapers, clothes and milk etc.. that you could ever need. A slice of middle-class Thailand just 5 minutes away.
