Please remember to register in advance via QR Code and bring your ID card or passport for verification. Drones, balloons, and realistic toy weapons are strictly prohibited in the area.
⚓ Navy & Army: Exciting Military Displays Due to border situations, the Navy has cancelled activities on HTMS Chakri Naruebet, but you can still visit the Naval Academy in Samut Prakan or view warships in Phang Nga and Phuket. Meanwhile, the Army is opening its gates for kids to see armored vehicles, artillery, and adorable K-9 military dog performances.

🚉 Free Transportation & Health Tips Travel is made easy with free rides for children on the BTS, MRT, and Red Line trains, as well as BMTA buses throughout the day. Parents are advised to have children wear masks due to rising PM 2.5 dust levels.
