Kid-friendly places in Chiang Mai

Steps from the night bazaar, with a forest-themed kids' room full of games, books and toys, and a children's pool by the main one.

City resort with one of the biggest pools in town, a water slide, a kids' pool, a playground in the gardens and an indoor ball pit.

Tall hotel right by the night bazaar, with a separate children's pool next to the main one.

Working rice paddies in the middle of the resort, where kids can plant rice and bathe the water buffalo, plus a free kids' club for ages 4 to 12.

Big slides and inflatables, with a kids' zone of smaller slides and a gentle pool for the smallest swimmers.

Apartment-style suites with kitchenettes and washing machines, up to two bedrooms, plus a kids' pool and a mall with a play center a short walk away.

Rooms of 3D illusion paintings kids climb into and pose with, a good indoor stop on a rainy day.

Giraffes and zebras come right up to the tram to be fed, with English-language trams and an early ride for younger kids.

A rescue sanctuary with no riding, where kids feed the elephants bananas and walk beside the herd to the river.
