As some of you may know, Gateway Ekami Mall opened up last year and it is home to a fantastic new play area by Aeon Fantasy. I’m a little bit late to the punch on this one, but seeing as Ekami seems a world away to us – just under six miles (but a life time in Bangkok traffic) – we just scouted out this new venue for the first time over the weekend. We had been told by several friends that this place was great, but you really have to go and experience it to understand how awesome it is for the little ones. When you first walk in, you enter a type of indoor amusement park with ride-on Japanese buses, bullet trains, police motorcycles, trucks . . . you name it. There are heaps of video games for older children and a pretty pink carousel for the younger ones.
