Bangkok, Thailand | March 2024

Come join us in Bangkok for a fun-filled and community-centered worldschooling gathering March 11 - 17, 2024.

The Worldschool Pop-Up Hub provides super casual, budget-friendly opportunities to gather, connect with other worldschoolers, learn about the local area, instill new friendships, share your insights, and immerse in a friendly, accepting mobile community. Our activities highlight local nature, history, food, and culture... but you'll also have plenty of time to relax, get to know each other, and even stray from the itinerary to add activities that cater to the group's interests.

Pop in for a few days or the full week. Join as many activities as you'd like. It's up to you!  

Our itinerary will include activities such as the following: 

*Explore Wat Phra Kaew & Grand Palace

*Visit Bangkok Art and Culture Centre

*Watch a light and laser show at ICONSIAM

*Monitor lizard spotting at Lumphini park

*Rama IX Park

*Watch the kites flying at Sanan Luang park

*Tour Jim Thomson house & gardens

*Visit Museum of Siam and Bangkok Children’s Museum

Add-on options include taking a swan boat ride, a walking or bike/tuk tuk tour with Co Van Kessel (this was the hosts' favorite parts' of their previous visit), taking a day trip to Ko Kret island, participating in a Family STEM activity, check out the Green Lung section of town, etc.

MEET YOUR HOST:

Your hosts are Tess McCabe's family: We are a family of four (two kids ages 8 and 11) currently living in Melbourne, Australia. We are self-employed creative professionals (design and filmmaking), and we are embarking on our long-planned family gap year in January 2024, starting in south-east Asia. We have chosen to host a pop-up in Bangkok as we have previously visited the city and found it bursting with activities and experiences that we are keen to explore with other like-minded family travellers.

LODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS:

Sukhumvit area or the Grand Palace area will be centrally-located for our activities. Families can look for lodging in these sections of town, however, always read reveiws and ensure you're staying in a comfortable area for your family. 

Access to a nearby subway station will be helpful but not essential. Grab is the go-to app for using pre-negotiated fees for travel around town. We suggest avoiding the area near Khaosan Road because that will be noisy and not-so-kid-friendly after dark (but definitely worth a peek if you're nearby). The host will be staying in the Khlong Tan area near Mayfair Park.

TRANSPORT CONSIDERATIONS:

Lots of train/subway, boat/ferry, and taxi/grab options available.
