what is the best 5 star hotel that is near Chatuchak?

I shall also be traveling with 2 kids aged 8 and 6 so what tourist spots would interest them? They love animals and the arts. Any more interesting things to do in Bangkok for a first-timer?

I suggest The Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok (formerly Sofitel Central Plaza Bangkok), complex in Bangkok is in an ideal location by the Vibhavadi Rangsit Highway, opposite the Railway Golf Course and Picturesque Chatuchak Park.

Distance from historic area: 5 km

Interesting things to do in Bangkok
1.AMUSEMENT PARKS These are always favourites with the kids and Bangkok has a number of such establishments. One of the more popular of these is the Siam Park, which has a number of pools, water slides and a wave pool, located around 10km outside Bangkok.

2.Another park is DREAM WORLD – Bangkok’s newest and largest amusement park. The most popular ride is the “Big Splash” water flume, supposedly the largest in the world. Dream World’s rides are the most technologically advanced in the entertainment industry in Thailand, while its Dinotopia exhibit takes visitors back 150 million years to the Jurassic era when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

3.ANCIENT CITY and CROCODILE FARM is the only crocodile farm located close to the city in neighbouring Samut Prakan province. The farm has a regular shows, lots of crocodiles and a tiger that you can take your photo with as well as other animals.

4.CHATUCHAK PARK Situated next to the better-known Chatuchak Weekend Market on Phahonyothin Road, Chatuchak Park is a nicely landscaped park and is considered one of the major parks of Bangkok. This is a nice spot for relaxing after an exhausting shopping at the market and like Lumpini park, boats can be rented to paddle around the waterway. Take the Skytrain to Mo Chit Station.

5.SAFARI WORLD One of the largest open zoos in the world the park also houses a marine park. Residing inside its protective boundaries are both African and Asian animals including rare white pandas. Best reached by taxi.

6.ZOO Originally a private botanical garden for Rama V, the Dusit Zoo is now one of the premier zoological facilities in South-east Asia. Small circuses perform on weekends and public holidays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Best reached by taxi or from the Wimanmek Golden Teak Palace situated across the street. Admission to the Teak Mansion is included in the price of the ticket to the Grand Palace. If you start early, you can visit all three places in a day.

7. Chatuchak Market is a huge market where you can literally buy just about anything, if you can find it in its massive maze of alleyways. Best on a quick trip or if you are stocking a store back home, it’s easy to spend an entire day here. To get there take the Skytrain to Mo Chit Station. Saturdays and Sundays only.

8.Grand Palace If there is just one sight worth seeing in Bangkok, it is the Grand Palace. Without doubt, the Grand Palace is the best of Bangkok’s tourist attractions. Here you will find a collection of ornate temples and other buildings constructed in a variety of Thai styles. The palace loans free clothing and shoes to tourists who are not dressed “appropriately”. Tickets to the Grand Palace cost 125 Baht and include admission to the Wimanmek Golden Teak Mansion, located a short distance from the palace
