One note to consider, not many hotel pools have lifeguards, although kiddie pools are common.

Do children need vaccinations when visiting Bangkok?

What should I pack?
The vast majority of baby products can be found in Bangkok, including western brands. Items will generally be more expensive than you can find back home though. Children often have a favourite toy or brand of baby food and it would be a good idea to bring them along. If space is an issue, you should at least make sure you have several days’ supply of essential items, including:

Diapers

Clothes/swimsuit

Non-allergenic sunscreen

Baby food

Milk powder

Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, mild body wash and shampoo, baby wipes, etc.)

How do I get around with kids in Bangkok?
Bangkok has several ways for getting around, the easiest being by taxi and the fastest by BTS Skytrain. You should try to avoid rush-hour traffic (from 8am to 9am and from 6pm to 7pm) as the roads often get gridlocked and the trains jam-packed.

When flagging a taxi, one constant issue is the lack of seatbelts in the back seat. This means you'll have to strap the baby seat into the front passenger seat. Some alternatives to this include using an online ride-hailing app like Grab or renting a car with a driver.
