Thanks. It really seems cheaper to book there than online.

YES!!! But ladies will swoon over that place. It is apparel after apparel, floor after floor. I was wondering why the vendors bother selling the same thing over and over again. Kids and your hubs will be bored to tears. The only thing I enjoyed there is the foodcourt at the top floor. Tons of Thai desserts to pig out on

Go to MBK instead. It's just a few streets away. Lots more variety, including mobile electronics, leather goods, Thai packet foodstuffs, etc. Prices are a little more upmarket, but at least you can get what you want there.

Hi micollh
We brot our kids to kidszania bkk last mth.. it was v new and wasnt crowded, few stations not opened yet... dont worry, the staff do speak English as there are many foreign kids around.
Needless to say, my kids enjoyed themselves tremendously.. they said that was their best part of the whole trip, tuk-tuk ride came second...

We didnt go as they spent the whole afternoon in kidszania itself ...
Also, we had been to SEA Aquarium in Sentosa so reckoned that Siam Ocean World will probably be somewhat the same..
