Ideas for weekend away - Bangkok

My friend's kid is desperate to ride on a tuktuk so she was wondering where would be a good mini break from HK.

There are lots of great places to go but one idea is Bangkok.  Less than a 3 hour flight and requiring no visa, Bangkok is an easy place to visit to combine a bustling citibreak with a tropical getaway.

I stayed at the Kempinski which is one of Bangkok's newest hotels.  It has spacious, well designed rooms and a huge pool area.  Despite its central location you forget you are in the middle of a noisy city and so would be the perfect choice for a relaxing citybreak.

Get a Cabana Room which links directly to the pool.  This will allow you to put your baby down for a nap inside while you sun yourself on the terrace or go for a dip.

A pool a hop, skip & a splash outside your room!  Hooray!

There is also a Kempinski Kids Club for kids 3-12.

If you're travelling from Hong Kong then you can often get good packages through Cathay Pacific holidays:
