Starting from
On Request
Arrive at Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK) and clear immigration - Indian passport holders get visa-free entry to Thailand for up to 60 days. Your driver meets you at arrivals and drives to your hotel in the Sukhumvit or Silom area (45-60 minutes depending on traffic - Bangkok traffic is genuinely heavy between 4-8 PM). Check in and let the family rest for an hour. In the evening, take a taxi or Grab to Asiatique The Riverfront - an open-air night market and entertainment complex on the Chao Phraya River with a Ferris wheel, restaurants, and shops. Children enjoy the Ferris wheel and the riverside setting; parents enjoy the food and atmosphere. Dinner at one of Asiatique's many restaurants - Thai, Indian, Chinese, Western, and fast food all available. Return to your hotel by 10 PM. This is a soft landing day - Bangkok is hot and humid year-round, and the flight plus immigration takes energy.
Places & Experiences:
Asiatique The Riverfront (night market, Ferris wheel, riverside dining)
Chao Phraya River views
Riverside dinner (not included)
Ferris wheel at Asiatique (optional, ~THB 400 per person)
Travel Flow: Afternoon arrival → immigration and transfer → hotel check-in → evening at Asiatique → dinner → return to hotel
Overnight: Bangkok (4-star or 5-star hotel - double/twin sharing)
Meals: None
Important: Bangkok has two airports - Suvarnabhumi (BKK, main international) and Don Mueang (DMK, low-cost carriers). Confirm your arrival airport at booking - the transfer time and driver pickup point differ. Thai immigration queues can take 45-90 minutes in peak season. Thailand is visa-free for Indian passport holders for up to 60 days - no advance application required. Children need their own passports with at least 6 months validity. For a family of 4+, we use an SUV or a Toyota Innova-sized vehicle - confirm vehicle size at booking if travelling with more than 4.
Start early - 8 AM - to beat the heat and crowds at the Grand Palace (entry THB 500 per person). The Grand Palace complex includes Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), Thailand's most sacred temple. Dress code is strict - shoulders and knees covered, no sarongs over trousers, no flip-flops. Next, walk to Wat Pho (entry THB 200 per person) - the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, with a 46 m gold-leaf Buddha and Thailand's most famous massage school. Lunch at a riverside restaurant. Afternoon: Safari World (approx. 45 minutes from central Bangkok) - Thailand's largest open zoo and safari park, with a drive-through safari, dolphin show, sea lion show, bird show and orangutan boxing show. Tickets are approximately THB 1,000-1,500 per person depending on package - Safari World is a full afternoon and a strong favourite with children. Return to your hotel by evening. Dinner at the hotel or a nearby restaurant.
Places & Experiences:
Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew (entry THB 500 per person)
Wat Pho - Reclining Buddha (entry THB 200 per person)
Safari World (drive-through safari, dolphin show, sea lion show, bird show) - tickets ~THB 1,000-1,500 per person
Chao Phraya River views
Travel Flow: Early morning temples → lunch riverside → afternoon Safari World → evening return to hotel → dinner
Overnight: Bangkok (4-star or 5-star hotel)
Meals: Breakfast
Important: Grand Palace has a strict dress code - shoulders and knees covered for both men and women, no sarongs over trousers, no flip-flops. Sarongs are available for rent at the entrance but queues are long. Wat Pho is the best place in Thailand for a traditional Thai massage - the on-site school charges THB 420-480 per hour. Safari World is a 45-minute drive from central Bangkok and requires half a day - do not try to combine it with more temples in the same afternoon. Tickets are not included in the package - book online in advance for discounts.
A slower morning - breakfast, then check out and drive to Pattaya (2-2.5 hours on the Bangkok-Chonburi motorway). Pattaya is Thailand's most popular beach resort town - long Beach Road, quieter Jomtien side, and easy access to Coral Island. Check in to your beach hotel, then walk the beach or swim in the pool. Afternoon at leisure - Pattaya has plenty of family-friendly activities: miniature golf, Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, Underwater World aquarium, and Art in Paradise 3D museum. Evening: dinner at a beachfront seafood restaurant on the Jomtien side. Pattaya's nightlife is famous (Walking Street), but for families the beachfront and Jomtien restaurants are the better call.
Places & Experiences:
Pattaya Beach Road or Jomtien Beach
Underwater World Pattaya (aquarium, ~THB 500 per person)
Art in Paradise 3D Museum (~THB 400 per person)
Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum (~THB 500 per person)
Miniature golf (~THB 300 per person)
Travel Flow: Morning checkout → drive to Pattaya → hotel check-in → afternoon beach or family activity → evening beachfront dinner
Overnight: Pattaya (4-star or 5-star beach hotel - double/twin sharing)
Meals: Breakfast
Important: Bangkok–Pattaya motorway traffic can add 45–60 minutes on weekends and holidays - plan the drive for late morning. Pattaya has a reputation for nightlife, but for families the Jomtien side is quieter and more relaxed. Walking Street is not for children - it's loud, crowded, and dominated by bars. Underwater World, Art in Paradise, and Ripley's are family-friendly indoor options if the weather is too hot or rainy.
Full day on and around Pattaya. Morning: speedboat to Coral Island (Koh Larn) - a 45-minute ride from Pattaya's Bali Hai Pier. The island has six main beaches; Tawaen and Samae are the most popular, with clear water, snorkelling, jet skis, and parasailing. Most tours include a stop at a viewing platform for coral (glass-bottom boat), lunch on the island, and free time on the beach. Tours cost approximately THB 1,200-1,800 per person depending on inclusions. Children should be comfortable in the water - life jackets are mandatory. Return to Pattaya by late afternoon. Evening: the Alcazar Cabaret Show - Pattaya's most famous ladyboy cabaret, a 75-minute performance with elaborate costumes and choreography (tickets THB 800-1,200 per person, book in advance). This is a genuinely entertaining show - most families rate it highly, though it's more suitable for children 8+. Dinner at a Pattaya restaurant.
Places & Experiences:
Coral Island (Koh Larn) - Tawaen and Samae beaches
Snorkelling, parasailing, jet ski (optional, ~THB 500-1,500 per activity)
Alcazar Cabaret Show (THB 800-1,200 per person)
Pattaya Beach Road (evening, optional)
Travel Flow: Morning speedboat to Coral Island → beach and snorkelling → lunch on island → afternoon return to Pattaya → evening Alcazar Show → dinner
Overnight: Pattaya (4-star or 5-star beach hotel)
Meals: Breakfast
Important: Coral Island speedboat rides can be rough in monsoon (May–October) - morning departures are smoother. Water activities are not included - budget THB 500-1,500 per activity. The Alcazar Show sells out most evenings - book at least 24 hours ahead. The Alcazar Show is suitable for children 8+ - younger children may not enjoy the 75-minute performance. Life jackets are mandatory for all ages on the Coral Island boat trip.
Check out after breakfast and drive back to Bangkok. If your international flight is in the afternoon or evening, add a stop at one of Bangkok's shopping malls - Siam Paragon, CentralWorld, or Terminal 21 - for last-minute shopping and lunch. Chatuchak Weekend Market (only open Saturday and Sunday) is worth a stop if your departure aligns. Then transfer to Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK) for your flight. International departures recommend arriving 3 hours before the flight - BKK immigration and security can be slow in peak season. With children and luggage, 3 hours is the minimum. Pack liquids in checked luggage.
Places & Experiences:
Bangkok shopping malls - Siam Paragon, CentralWorld, Terminal 21 (optional)
Chatuchak Weekend Market (Saturday and Sunday only, optional)
International departure from BKK or DMK
Travel Flow: Morning checkout from Pattaya → drive to Bangkok → optional shopping stop → airport drop
Overnight: None
Meals: Breakfast
Important: Allow at least 4 hours for the Pattaya-Bangkok drive and airport drop in peak traffic. BKK (Suvarnabhumi) is the main international airport; DMK (Don Mueang) is used by low-cost carriers. Confirm your departure airport at booking. If your flight is before 11 AM, skip the Bangkok shopping stop - go straight to the airport. For a family of 4+, keep luggage consolidated - Bangkok airport security and immigration are faster with fewer bags.
Things to Pack:
Clothing: Lightweight cottons and quick-dry fabrics. Swimwear (2 sets each). Smart-casual outfits for mall dining and evening restaurants (some Bangkok rooftop bars have dress codes - no flip-flops). Modest clothing for temples - shoulders and knees covered. One light layer for air-conditioned restaurants and malls. Rain jacket or umbrella (monsoon season).
Footwear: Comfortable walking shoes for the Bangkok temple tour (a full day on stone and marble surfaces). Sandals or flip-flops for Pattaya beaches. Note: flip-flops are not allowed at the Grand Palace - wear proper shoes there.
Travel Essentials: Sunscreen SPF 50+, insect repellent (mosquitoes in Bangkok and Pattaya, especially at night), sunglasses, power bank, universal adapter (Thailand uses Type A/B/C, 220V - same as India in many cases), basic medicines including children's fever and stomach medicine, reusable water bottles, small towel or sarong for beaches, snacks for children.
Documents: Passports (6+ months validity) for all family members including children, return flight tickets, hotel confirmations, travel insurance copy, passport-size photos (4 copies), international debit/credit card (Visa/Mastercard). Proof of sufficient funds (THB 20,000 per person or equivalent) - immigration may ask.
Optional: GoPro or action camera, dry bag for island hopping, eSIM for Thailand (AIS has the best coverage), a good book for beach days, mosquito repellent with DEET for Pattaya evenings, a light stroller for younger children (malls and Asiatique are stroller-friendly).
Best Time to Travel:
November to February is the best window for this itinerary - Thailand's cool dry season, with lower humidity, clear skies, and calm seas at Coral Island. December and January are peak - book 6-8 weeks ahead for Bangkok and Pattaya hotels. March to May is hot season - Bangkok regularly hits 35-40°C, and Pattaya is humid. June to October is monsoon - Bangkok sees afternoon downpours, and Coral Island speedboat rides can be rough or cancelled. This is a compact itinerary, so a 5-day monsoon window is riskier than for longer Thailand trips. Songkran (Thai New Year, mid-April) is a country-wide water festival - fun but crowded, and many businesses close.
Suitable For:
Families with children aged 5+ who want a mix of city, zoo, beach, and theme park. Multi-generational groups (grandparents welcome - the pacing allows rest). Not suitable for travellers who want pure beach time (Bangkok is a full two-day stop), or who want Phuket, Krabi, or Chiang Mai - those are separate itineraries. If your children are under 5, the itinerary works but you'll skip some activities (Alcazar Show for under-8s, some theme park rides have height restrictions).
Travel Pace:
Moderate. Two full activity days (Bangkok city + Safari World; Coral Island + Alcazar). Two travel days (arrival, Pattaya-Bangkok-departure). One relaxed day (Bangkok-Pattaya with afternoon beach). This is a compact 5-day trip - not a lounging holiday. Families with younger children may want to extend by a day.
Accommodation:
Bangkok: 4-star or 5-star hotel in Sukhumvit or Silom (double/twin sharing) - walking distance to BTS Skytrain and family-friendly dining. Pattaya: 4-star or 5-star beach hotel on Beach Road or Jomtien (double/twin sharing). Upgrades to premium properties (Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, Peninsula Bangkok, Hilton Pattaya, Royal Cliff Pattaya) available on request.
Transport:
Private AC vehicle for all included transfers and tours. Toyota Innova or similar SUV for families of 4+. The vehicle is exclusively for your family. Bangkok-Pattaya transfers are 2-2.5 hours by road. For Bangkok intra-city trips beyond the included tour, use Grab or the BTS Skytrain - faster and cheaper than taxis during peak hours.
Meals:
Breakfast included on all days. Lunches and dinners are not included - budget THB 200-800 per person per meal depending on the restaurant. Bangkok has some of the best street food in the world (Pad Thai, Som Tam, Mango Sticky Rice) at THB 50-100 per dish, alongside fine dining. Pattaya is strong on seafood, Indian restaurants, and beachfront family dining. Thai food is generally mild to spicy - tell the server "mai phet" (not spicy) if your family prefers. Vegetarian and Jain food is available at Indian restaurants throughout Bangkok and Pattaya. Children's menus are widely available at malls and hotels.
Important Notes:
Visa for Indian passport holders: Visa-free entry to Thailand for up to 60 days. No advance application required. Carry return ticket, hotel confirmations, and proof of sufficient funds (THB 20,000 per person or equivalent) - Thai immigration may ask. Children need their own passports (6+ months validity).
Currency: Thai Baht (THB). ATMs are widely available at BKK, DMK, in Bangkok and Pattaya. Cards are accepted at hotels, malls and larger restaurants; street food and smaller shops are cash-only.
SIM card: Local SIMs (AIS, TrueMove, dtac) are available at BKK and DMK on arrival - approximately THB 200-400 for a tourist SIM with 7-15 days validity.
Tipping: Not mandatory but appreciated. 10% service charge is already included at most restaurants. For drivers and guides, THB 100-300 per day is standard.
Dress code at temples: Strict - shoulders and knees covered for both men and women, no sarongs over trousers, no flip-flops at the Grand Palace. Sarongs are available for rent at the entrance but queues are long. Children should also be dressed modestly.
Bangkok traffic: Between 4-8 PM, a 10 km drive can take 60-90 minutes. Plan airport transfers with buffer time. The BTS Skytrain and MRT Metro are faster for intra-city travel during peak hours - they're also stroller-friendly.
Monsoon season: June-October. Afternoon showers are common. Coral Island speedboat rides can be rough or cancelled. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
Bangkok airports: BKK (Suvarnabhumi) is the main international terminal; DMK (Don Mueang) is used by low-cost carriers. Confirm at booking. Transfer between the two takes 45-60 minutes.
Pattaya family-friendliness: Pattaya has a reputation for nightlife, but the Jomtien side, Coral Island, and the family attractions (Underwater World, Art in Paradise, Ripley's) are all family-safe. Walking Street is not recommended for children.
Honeymoon perks: Not applicable. But many Thai hotels offer family perks (adjoining rooms, children's amenities, kids' club) if told in advance - we share your booking as a family at the time of reservation.
Seasonal Considerations:
November–February: Best window. Cool dry season - Bangkok 22-32°C, Pattaya 24-31°C. Clear skies, calm seas. December-January are peak - book 6-8 weeks ahead.
March-May: Hot season. Bangkok regularly hits 35-40°C, Pattaya is humid. Sea is calm but heat is punishing. Songkran (mid-April) is a country-wide water festival - fun but crowded.
June-October: Monsoon. Bangkok sees afternoon downpours, Pattaya sees rain and rough seas. Coral Island speedboat rides can be cancelled. Cheaper rates but less reliable for outdoor activities.
Year-round: Bangkok is hot and humid (25-40°C). Pattaya is 24-33°C. Rain is possible any month, but concentrated in monsoon.

Everything you need to know about your upcoming journey. If you can't find what you're looking for, our experts are just a click away.
"No - Indian passport holders get visa-free entry to Thailand for up to 60 days. No advance application or fee is required. Children need their own passports with at least 6 months validity and their own return tickets. Carry hotel confirmations and proof of sufficient funds (THB 20,000 per person or equivalent) - Thai immigration may ask. If you plan to travel onward to Laos, Cambodia or Myanmar from Thailand, tell us at booking - those require separate visas."
"Yes - Safari World is one of Thailand's most family-friendly attractions. The drive-through safari, dolphin show, sea lion show, bird show, and orangutan boxing show are popular with children of all ages. Tickets are approximately THB 1,000-1,500 per person depending on package. Book online in advance for discounted rates - Safari World requires half a day, so don't try to combine it with more temples in the same afternoon. Children under 3 usually enter free."
"Yes, for children 8+. The Alcazar Show is Pattaya's most famous ladyboy cabaret - a 75-minute performance with elaborate costumes, choreography, and music. It's family-friendly and not adult-themed, but younger children may not sit through the full performance. Tickets are THB 800-1,200 per person. Book at least 24 hours in advance - the show sells out most evenings. If your children are under 8, consider skipping the show and opting for a beachfront dinner instead."
"Yes, for children 5+ who are comfortable in the water. The Coral Island tour includes a speedboat from Bali Hai Pier, a glass-bottom boat stop, lunch on the island, and free beach time at Tawaen and Samae beaches. Life jackets are mandatory for all ages. Optional water activities (parasailing, jet ski, snorkelling, banana boat) cost THB 500-1,500 each and are payable directly on the island - check age restrictions for each activity. Speedboat rides can be rough in monsoon (May-October)."
"Yes - Pattaya is two very different places. The Walking Street side is loud, crowded, and bar-dominated - not for children. The Jomtien Beach side, Coral Island, and the family attractions (Underwater World, Art in Paradise, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Miniature Golf) are all family-safe. Most families on this itinerary stay on the Jomtien side and skip Walking Street entirely. If you want a quieter beach destination, we can swap Pattaya for Hua Hin - tell us at booking."
"November to February is the best window - Thailand's cool dry season, with lower humidity, clear skies, and calm seas at Coral Island. December and January are peak - book 6-8 weeks ahead. March to May is hot season - Bangkok hits 35-40°C. June to October is monsoon - Bangkok sees afternoon downpours and Coral Island speedboat rides can be rough or cancelled.

Peak-season hotel bookings (December-January, Lunar New Year, Songkran) and activity tickets are non-refundable once confirmed.
