Viewed by 191 travelers
Day 1 · Sat, Dec 13
Siam / Ratchadamri

Arrival, Hotel Check-in & Gentle Evening on the Chao Phraya

2:10 PM:

Arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). Proceed through immigration and baggage claim — allow about 60-90 minutes given typical queues and your arrival time.

3:40 PM:

Taxi/Grab to Grand Centre Point Ratchadamri (Siam area). Expect 35-50 minutes travel depending on traffic; a metered taxi or Grab is easiest with toddler and luggage (approx. 350-500 THB).

4:30 PM:

Estimated hotel check-in & settle in. Request a ground-floor or near-elevator room for easier access with a stroller and mention pregnancy for any room assistance; allow 30-45 minutes for paperwork and room prep.

5:15 PM:

Unwind in the room: freshen up, change the toddler, and rest after the journey. Use hotel pool or quiet lounge if you’d like a short, gentle activity before heading out.

5:45 PM:

Early light snack or tea near the hotel — try The Cooking School Café inside Grand Centre Point or nearby Food Hall at CentralWorld (short BTS/Mall walk) if you need light vegetarian options (dals, paneer dishes or veg salads).

6:30 PM:

Transfer to Chao Phraya River boarding point. For a comfortable, toddler-friendly evening pick a dinner cruise that departs from River City Pier or River City/ICONSIAM piers; allow 25-40 minutes travel by taxi (depending on pier).

7:15 PM:

Board an early Chao Phraya dinner cruise (recommended: Manohra Dining Cruise by Anantara for a calmer, heritage-boat experience, or Loy Nava for traditional wooden boats). Inform the operator in advance that you need vegetarian Indian-friendly meal options — many cruises offer custom vegetarian menus if requested.

7:30 PM:

Enjoy the cruise: relaxed river views of lit landmarks (Grand Palace, Wat Arun from a distance) — cruises typically last 1.5-2 hours, with live music and ample seating for a toddler and pregnant traveller. Choose a window/covered table for comfort.

9:00 PM:

Disembark and taxi back to Siam/Ratchadamri area (approx. 25-45 minutes depending on traffic). Alternatively, if you boarded from ICONSIAM or River City, you can stop for a short riverside walk before returning.

9:45 PM:

If still peckish or prefer land dinner near the hotel instead of cruise: recommended vegetarian-friendly restaurants near Grand Centre Point Ratchadamri — May Kaidee Vegetarian (Indian-Thai fusion, vegetarian curries), Saravanabhavan (pure South Indian vegetarian; Khaosan and some city branches), and Dosa King (Indian vegetarian restaurant in Siam area). All are kid-friendly and offer mild spice options.

10:15 PM:

Return to hotel room. Baby bedtime routine, light unpacking and set out plans for tomorrow. Request any needed wake-up/transport assistance from the concierge for Safari World departure.

10:30 PM:

Lights out / rest. Prioritize sleep to help adjust after travel — hotel staff can provide extra pillows or a kettle for warming milk/tea for convenience.

Day 2 · Sun, Dec 14
Safari World (north Bangkok) / Ratchadamri (evening)

Full Day at Safari World & Marine Park, Evening Relaxation at Akara Sky Hanuman Bar

6:30 AM:

Wake-up, light breakfast at the hotel — choose mild, pregnancy-friendly options (oatmeal, toast, fruit, boiled eggs) and pack snacks, water, sunscreen, hat and stroller essentials for the toddler.

7:15 AM:

Meet concierge for pre-booked private taxi/Grab to Safari World. Request a comfortable car with extra space for stroller and bags; travel time is approximately 45-60 minutes depending on traffic.

8:15 AM:

Arrive at Safari World (open ~9:00 AM typically) — if you arrive early, enjoy the landscaped grounds and find shaded seating; buy tickets or present pre-booked vouchers and pick up park map and show schedule.

9:00 AM:

Enter Safari Park (drive-through area). Take the park bus/drive-through tour first to see giraffes, zebras, deer and roaming herbivores — this is stroller- and pregnancy-friendly and a calm way to start the day.

10:15 AM:

Head to Marine Park section to catch the early shows (dolphin show or sea lion show). Shows are loud but short; bring toddler ear protection if sensitive and sit where you can exit easily if needed.

11:00 AM:

Explore Baby Zoo / Kid-friendly areas where children can interact with farm animals and small exhibits — perfect for your 3-year-old to touch and feed under supervision.

12:00 PM:

Lunch inside Marine Park — recommended vegetarian-friendly spots: the park’s Food Court has veggie fried rice, stir-fried vegetables, fried noodles and simple curries; alternatively pack simple Indian-friendly snacks from hotel earlier (roti, cucumber, boiled potatoes).

12:45 PM:

Attend the Sea Lion Show or Orangutan Boxing Show (check daily timetable). These shows last 20-30 minutes and are entertaining for toddlers; avoid overly rowdy attractions if pregnant or tired.

1:30 PM:

Visit the Bird Park aviary and the exotic bird area — shaded walkways and benches provide comfortable rest stops for short breaks and photos.

2:15 PM:

Catch the Dolphin Show (if not seen earlier) or watch small animal performances; shows and exhibits are spaced so you can rest between events. Rehydrate and use restroom/baby-change facilities.

3:00 PM:

Slow-paced walk through the Marine Park aquarium exhibits and souvenir area. If the toddler needs a nap, find a quiet shaded spot or return to the main seating areas to relax.

3:45 PM:

Begin return to hotel in Siam / Ratchadamri — allow 45-75 minutes travel time depending on traffic, aim for an early evening so everyone can rest before heading out again.

5:00 PM:

Arrive back at Grand Centre Point Ratchadamri. Short rest, freshen up and change clothes; allow the toddler time to play in the room or hotel play area while you relax.

5:45 PM:

Leave for Akara Sky Hanuman Bar (Ratchadamri/Siam rooftop) — very short taxi or walk depending on exact location; reserve in advance for a suitable table and inform them of pregnancy (avoid strong cocktails).

6:15 PM:

Arrive at Akara Sky Hanuman Bar — enjoy panoramic views while sipping non-alcoholic mocktails, fruit juices or soft drinks. Take photos and let the toddler enjoy the open-air atmosphere for 30-45 minutes.

7:00 PM:

Dinner options near Akara or back toward hotel (vegetarian-friendly): 1) Dosa King (Siam Square) — wide South Indian vegetarian menu; 2) Saravanaa Bhavan (CentralWorld/Siam) — reliable Indian vegetarian; 3) Broccoli Revolution (Siam) — plant-forward meals and eggs allowed; 4) May Kaidee (near Phaya Thai) — Thai vegetarian curries and mild kids’ dishes.

7:30 PM:

Sit down for a relaxed vegetarian dinner. Order familiar items for the toddler (plain rice, mild dal, dosa or idli) and ask for less spice; consider sharing small plates to keep portions manageable.

8:30 PM:

If the toddler is restless, return to the hotel for bedtime routine; if everyone has energy, take a brief evening stroll inside CentralWorld mall for air-conditioned comfort and an easy dessert stop (ice cream, fruit yogurt).

9:15 PM:

Back in the room: baby bedtime and a short unwind for parents. Review the next day’s plan (shopping day) and confirm any transport or tour bookings with the concierge.

9:45 PM:

Prepare water, light snacks and any medications needed overnight; set alarms or request wake-up if an early start needed for the next day. Rest early to be ready for Day 3.

Day 3 · Mon, Dec 15
Pratunam / Siam / Ratchadamri

Shopping Circuit: Platinum Fashion Mall, Pratunam Market, CentralWorld & Siam Paragon

7:00 AM:

Wake up and have a light hotel breakfast — choose boiled eggs, fruit, toast or porridge for a pregnancy-friendly start and pack water, wipes, stroller and a small change of clothes for the toddler.

7:45 AM:

Short walk or BTS ride to Pratunam area; arrive early to beat the heat and crowds. Early arrival gives easier stroller access and better negotiating power at market stalls.

8:00 AM:

Explore Pratunam Market (street stalls along Phetchaburi & Ratchaprarop) — shop lightweight clothing, baby/kids items and textiles. Carry small cash, ask vendors for fixed-price if you're tired of bargaining, and keep the toddler close in shaded alleys.

9:00 AM:

Head into Platinum Fashion Mall (air-conditioned, multi-floor wholesale fashion complex) — browse children’s wear, casuals and accessories where sample sizes and many vendors sell in small quantities for tourists.

9:15 AM:

Start on the lower floors of Platinum (accessories & shoes) and move up to women’s and children’s clothing; stall staff often help with sizing and alterations — take breaks on seating islands if pregnant or toddler needs rest.

10:30 AM:

Coffee/snack break at Platinum’s food court or a nearby cafe (The Coffee Club in Platinum or a bakery stall) — grab a mild tea, cappuccino, fresh fruit juice and a light vegetarian snack for energy.

11:00 AM:

Finish any last shopping in Platinum and walk back into Pratunam open market alleys to pick up any small items you missed (socks, hats, toys) — keep purchases light or use hotel porter to store heavier bags.

12:00 PM:

Lunch at nearby vegetarian-friendly restaurant: Bawarchi (Indian vegetarian options nearby in Pratunam) or Dosa King (Siam area) if you prefer South Indian food. Choose mild dishes for the toddler and pregnancy — plain rice, dal, idli or dosa are safe options.

1:00 PM:

Walk or take a short taxi/BTS ride to CentralWorld — enter the mall for air-conditioned shopping, baby-change rooms and easy stroller movement; CentralWorld has big international brands and family facilities.

1:15 PM:

Stroll through CentralWorld: visit kid-friendly zones (toy stores, kid apparel) and stop at a toy shop or soft-play area for the toddler to burn off energy. Use the mall seating for quick rests and snack breaks.

2:00 PM:

Visit the 4th-floor food atrium or Zen department store for late lunch alternatives — vegetarian-friendly options include Saravanaa Bhavan (CentralWorld branch) for hearty South Indian meals or Broccoli Revolution for plant-forward dishes near Siam area.

2:45 PM:

Short rest back at the hotel (10-15 minute taxi or BTS) — drop off shopping bags, let the toddler nap or relax, and freshen up for the afternoon Siam Paragon visit.

3:30 PM:

Return to Siam area and enter Siam Paragon — explore family-oriented stores like the SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World (if interested) or children’s clothing and toy stores; Siam Paragon is stroller- and pregnancy-friendly with elevators and wide corridors.

4:15 PM:

If the toddler enjoys aquariums and you have energy: visit SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World inside Siam Paragon (allow 60-90 minutes). It's a calm, indoor activity that’s great for young children and comfortable for pregnancy.

5:45 PM:

Coffee/early snack break at Siam Paragon — try After You Dessert Cafe for pancakes/shareshable desserts or head to Rasayana Retreat (raw/plant-based) near Siam if you prefer lighter, pregnancy-friendly options.

6:15 PM:

Leisurely walk to nearby Siam Square or head back toward the hotel area; if you still want to shop, pop into CentralWorld again or small boutiques in Siam Square for souvenirs and kid clothes.

6:45 PM:

Dinner at a vegetarian-friendly restaurant close to Siam/Ratchadamri: recommended options — Saravanaa Bhavan (CentralWorld) for reliable South Indian dishes; Dosa King (Siam Square) for dosas/idli; May Kaidee (Phaya Thai area) for Thai vegetarian curries; or Mum Aroi Vegetarian (Siam) for Thai-style vegetarian meals.

7:30 PM:

Relaxed family dinner — order toddler-friendly items (plain rice, mild curry, dosa) and ask for mild spice. Consider sharing plates so portions are manageable and food can be warmed if needed for the toddler.

8:15 PM:

After dinner, a gentle stroller walk through the air-conditioned mall corridors or take the hotel shuttle back to Grand Centre Point Ratchadamri; pick up any last-minute items from the nearby 7-Eleven if needed.

8:45 PM:

Back at the hotel: toddler bedtime routine and quick packing of purchases. Review tomorrow’s Grand Palace plan and check transport arrangements with concierge.

9:15 PM:

Prepare for bed — lay out comfortable clothes, water and any pregnancy supplies; set alarms or request wake-up if you plan an early start for Day 4.

9:30 PM:

Lights out / rest. Sleep early to be energized for the cultural day tomorrow.

Day 4 · Tue, Dec 16
Rattanakosin (Old City) / Riverside / Chinatown

Cultural Day: Grand Palace, Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha) & Wat Arun — Evening at ICONSIAM / Chinatown

6:30 AM:

Wake gently and have a pregnancy-friendly hotel breakfast (oatmeal, fruit, boiled eggs, toast). Pack sun hats, sunscreen, a light stroller blanket, plenty of water, wet wipes, and any toddler snacks—you’ll be out for most of the day.

7:15 AM:

Taxi or Grab to Tha Chang / Grand Palace area (ask concierge to book a metered taxi to avoid waiting). Travel time from Siam/Ratchadamri is about 20-35 minutes off-peak; earlier is better to avoid crowds and the midday heat.

7:45 AM:

Arrival at Grand Palace complex — buy tickets or show pre-booked e-tickets; dress code enforced (shoulders & knees covered). Take stroller-friendly routes where possible and request shaded seating if you need a break.

8:00 AM:

Enter the Grand Palace and begin a slow, guided walk around the outer halls and Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew). Keep the pace gentle for pregnancy and toddler comfort, pausing for photos and shade every 10-15 minutes.

9:00 AM:

Finish the main Grand Palace highlights and move toward the palace gardens and less-crowded corners — use this quieter time to let your toddler explore small open spaces and have a snack break.

9:30 AM:

Short walk (or 5-10 minute taxi) along Sanam Chai Road to Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha). Entrance has accessible paths and shaded areas—expect 10-20 minutes queue in high season but often shorter in the morning.

9:45 AM:

Enter Wat Pho and view the Reclining Buddha (45 metres long) slowly; explore the temple grounds, the courtyard with traditional Thai massage school signboards and the many chedis. Use benches to rest and let your toddler take in the colours and bells.

10:30 AM:

Optional short foot massage at Wat Pho’s traditional massage school (choose a very gentle 15-20 minute shoulder/foot treatment) — confirm that pregnancy-safe treatments are available or skip if unsure. This can be a restful mid-morning pause.

11:15 AM:

Walk to the nearby Tha Tien pier (5-7 minutes) and take a short river ferry across to Wat Arun (cost-effective, stroller-friendly ramp access on/off depending on crowds). The short boat ride is fun for a toddler and offers river views.

11:30 AM:

Arrive at Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). Walk the riverside grounds and take photographs of the prang (spire) from the outside — climbing the steep stairs is optional and not recommended during pregnancy; stick to riverside areas and shaded walkways.

12:15 PM:

Lunch suggestion: head to a nearby riverside restaurant with vegetarian options—The Sixth at ICONSIAM (if you choose to transfer now) or Sala Rattanakosin Eatery & Bar on the Phra Athit side (check vegetarian options). If staying riverside, eat at Raan Jay Fai style or small local cafés offering fried rice with vegetables or pad thai with tofu.

1:15 PM:

If you had lunch by the river, take a taxi or ferry to ICONSIAM for a comfortable, air-conditioned break (roughly 15-25 minutes by taxi or 10-15 minutes by river shuttle). ICONSIAM has baby-change rooms, wide corridors and many vegetarian-friendly restaurants.

1:45 PM:

Arrive at ICONSIAM — rest in the mall, let the toddler nap in the stroller or use the baby facilities, and enjoy air-conditioning. Browse the riverside promenade and indoor shops at a slow pace to recharge from the morning’s walking.

2:30 PM:

Optional museum or craft stop: visit the SookSiam zone inside ICONSIAM for Thai regional snacks and handicrafts—good for light shopping and sampling vegetarian Thai sweets. This is a comfortable, low-energy activity for pregnant travellers.

3:15 PM:

Late-afternoon snack or early tea: try Rasayana or The Sixth (ICONSIAM) for light vegetarian options, or Benjarong Café for mild Thai desserts and fruit juices. Keep snacks mild and hydrating for pregnancy.

4:00 PM:

Return toward the hotel area (taxi/Grab, ~25-35 minutes depending on traffic) for a short rest and toddler quiet time; aim to leave ICONSIAM by 4 PM to avoid peak evening river traffic if you want to visit Chinatown later.

4:45 PM:

Rest at the hotel: freshen up, change clothes, and prepare a small bag for evening exploration—this is a good moment for the toddler to nap and parents to rest a bit after a full cultural morning.

6:00 PM:

Option A — ICONSIAM riverside evening: If you prefer an earlier, easier evening with the toddler, return to ICONSIAM for riverside views, the ICONSIAM multimedia fountain and many restaurants with vegetarian options (The Sixth, Mango Tree Vegetarian options, and various food-court stalls). ICONSIAM is stroller-friendly and relaxed.

6:00 PM:

Option B — Chinatown (Yaowarat) evening: If everyone is energetic and you want a lively Bangkok experience, take a taxi to Yaowarat (Chinatown). Go early to avoid the peak street-crowd crush; explore reddened lantern streets, shopfronts and dessert stalls—keep to quieter side-streets and choose indoor vegetarian-friendly spots for dinner.

6:30 PM:

Dining suggestions for ICONSIAM evening: The Sixth (ICONSIAM riverside) offers Thai and simple vegetarian dishes; SookSiam food stalls have vegetarian snacks; Hachiban Ramen (vegetarian options) and multiple international outlets can accommodate mild diets. For Chinatown dinner options: T&K Seafood is famous but not vegetarian—better choices include Veggie Recipe (Phahurat area), Mango Veggie (a vegetarian Indian-Thai fusion stall nearby) or head to a nearby air-conditioned Indian restaurant such as Gaggan Anand’s offshoots or Rajdhani (check opening).

7:30 PM:

If in Chinatown, pick a calm indoor restaurant with vegetarian options (e.g., Ruen Mallika or small Indian restaurants in the Phahurat/Chinatown border). Order plain rice, mild curries, dosa/idli or simple noodle dishes with tofu for the toddler; keep spice low and portions small.

8:15 PM:

Begin return to the hotel (taxi/Grab) to avoid late-night travel with the toddler; if you chose ICONSIAM, stroll the riverside one last time and board the taxi at the mall entrance for a smoother ride back to Siam/Ratchadamri.

8:45 PM:

Back at the hotel: toddler bedtime routine and unpack any small purchases. Rehydrate, check any needed prenatal meds and set out plans for the next day (paak Suvarnabhumi and Siam Premium Outlets).

9:15 PM:

Light prep for departure the next day—confirm airport check-in or Paak Suvarnabhumi arrangements, and request a late checkout or porter if you plan to leave luggage at the hotel. Take a warm shower and rest early.

9:45 PM:

Lights out — prioritize sleep after a full cultural day; keep the hotel phone by the bed in case you need concierge assistance overnight.

Day 5 · Wed, Dec 17
Suvarnabhumi / Bang Na / Siam Premium Outlets

Check-in at Paak Suvarnabhumi & Outlet Shopping at Siam Premium Outlets

6:30 AM:

Wake gently and have a light pregnancy-friendly hotel breakfast (oatmeal, fruit, boiled eggs, toast). Pack essentials for the toddler (snacks, stroller, change of clothes), your prenatal items and any shopping list or size notes for outlets.

7:15 AM:

Check-out from Grand Centre Point Ratchadamri; ask reception to hold any extra luggage if you prefer to travel light to Paak Suvarnabhumi and request a comfortable taxi/Grab with space for stroller and shopping bags.

7:45 AM:

Drive to Paak Suvarnabhumi (approx. 30-45 minutes depending on traffic). Use this time to let the toddler watch a short video or nap, and confirm your check-in time at Paak Suvarnabhumi if you’ve pre-booked rooms or day-use facilities.

8:30 AM:

Arrive at Paak Suvarnabhumi. Complete check-in formalities — request a ground-floor or stroller-friendly room, confirm late checkout/left-luggage options and ask staff for the best route to Siam Premium Outlets and shuttle/taxi recommendations.

9:00 AM:

Settle into the room briefly, freshen up and prepare a small daypack with water, sunscreen, toddler snacks and any coupons or membership cards for the outlets; if Paak offers a light in-house breakfast buffet, have a second small bite before heading out.

9:45 AM:

Depart Paak Suvarnabhumi for Siam Premium Outlets in Bang Na (approx. 20-30 minutes by taxi depending on route and traffic). Confirm return time with the driver or arrange hotel shuttle if available for later.

10:15 AM:

Arrive at Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok. Pick up a mall map and stroller-friendly route—the outlets are mostly single-level and easy to navigate with a toddler and a pregnant companion.

10:30 AM:

Begin outlet browsing at anchor stores (Nike Factory, Adidas Outlet, Uniqlo/Factory corner, and local Thai brand outlets). Focus first on priority items (children’s clothes, travel essentials, comfortable shoes) while energy is high.

11:30 AM:

Visit brand-specific stores for maternity- and comfort-friendly finds (light sneakers, supportive sandals) and check deals on baby/toddler gear; let the toddler play briefly in any kid zone or seating area while you try quick fittings.

12:15 PM:

Lunch at the outlet food court or a nearby restaurant: recommended vegetarian-friendly eateries include Rasayana Retreat (if available in-mall pop-up), Salad Concept, a branch of Indian restaurant 'Sri Krishna' or simple vegetable noodle/rice stalls offering tofu and vegetable stir-fries; choose a shaded table and mild-seasoned dishes for pregnancy comfort.

1:00 PM:

Resume shopping with lighter walking—check cosmetics, baby-toys, and souvenir stalls; use frequent rest breaks and the outlet’s seating to avoid long standing periods and to let the toddler snack or nap in the stroller.

2:00 PM:

If you want bargains, visit clearance racks and outlet corners for children’s brands and electronics accessories; ask store staff about sizing exchanges or receipts for duty-free/shipping options if you prefer to consolidate luggage.

3:00 PM:

Take an afternoon break: coffee, fresh juice or a light smoothie at a café in the outlet. Consider a short play-spot visit so the toddler can move around while you organize purchases into bags and check receipts.

3:30 PM:

Final walk-through for any missed items or last-minute gift shopping; prioritize lightweight, easily packed items to avoid excess carry for the taxi back to Paak Suvarnabhumi.

4:15 PM:

Return to Paak Suvarnabhumi (20-30 minutes by taxi). Unload shopping, settle the toddler for a rest or short nap and freshen up before the evening — confirm any late checkout or porter assistance for luggage you plan to keep at the hotel.

5:00 PM:

Relax at Paak Suvarnabhumi facilities — let the toddler stretch in a quiet garden or indoor play area if available; parents can rest, hydrate and review flight or onward travel details if relevant.

6:00 PM:

Early dinner near Paak Suvarnabhumi or within hotel: recommended vegetarian-friendly options include the hotel restaurant (request mild Indian/Thai vegetarian dishes), or a nearby Indian restaurant such as 'Indian Masala' or 'Shreejee' (confirm family-friendly seating and mild spice levels). Order dosa/idli, dal, vegetable curry and plain rice for easy digestion.

7:00 PM:

After dinner, take a gentle stroll around the hotel grounds or a short playtime for the toddler to tire before bedtime; use this time to pack any outlet purchases into your main luggage and organize essentials for the next day.

8:00 PM:

Toddler bedtime routine in the room; parents finalize any trip paperwork, confirm transport to the airport or next destination and set alarms or request an early-morning wake from reception if needed.

8:30 PM:

Prepare carry-on essentials, medications and pregnancy necessities for easy reach; place shopping receipts and any warranties in a folder for customs or exchanges later.

9:00 PM:

Wind down for the night: light reading, hydration and rest—prioritize sleep after a productive shopping day and to be ready for travel or further activities tomorrow.
