Experience of the stay
Traveling to Bangkok with my elementary school daughter for a mother-daughter trip. Our time in a foreign country became an unforgettable experience where stimulation and comfort beautifully intertwined. In this article, I will share three points that my daughter particularly enjoyed.

🏨 1. Resort Feel at the Hotel Rooftop Pool
The highlight of our hotel stay was undoubtedly the rooftop pool. With a depth of about 150 cm, it's recommended to bring floaties.
For my daughter, it felt refreshing to "swim near the sky," and throughout our stay, she frequently asked, "Can we go to the pool today?" Since it’s hot during the day, swimming in the evening was very comfortable.
As a parent, relaxing while looking at the view from the poolside was the ultimate balm for the soul.
Experiences during the trip
🌊 2. Thrilling Pool Experience at Harborland
The rooftop water park "Harbor Island" and indoor amusement area "HarborLand" opened on the 3rd floor of "The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi" in Bangkok, Thailand.

With a gigantic slide reminiscent of a port town and exhilarating rides like "Super Free Fall," the park offers thrilling water slides, a long lazy river, and a dedicated children's zone. There are plenty of features that make it enjoyable for all ages.
Due to time constraints, we opted for just the pool area and skipped the indoor play facilities.
Safety is also a priority, with lifeguards properly positioned. Although there are bold high-speed water slides that you can't find in Japan, difficulty levels are clearly categorized by age and height, allowing my elementary school daughter to enjoy herself confidently.
Towels, lockers, and showers are provided, so there’s no worry about cleanup. If you want to enjoy both indoor areas, a one-day pool ticket is also recommended.

🦎 3. Encounter with the Water Monitor Lizard at Lumphini Park!
When I visited Lumphini Park, wanting to experience Bangkok's nature, I had a fantastic encounter with a water monitor lizard!
A nearly 2-meter-long lizard slowly walked by the pond and swam, an impressive sight.
“My daughter was amazed and observed, saying it felt like a dinosaur was alive..."
As a parent, I felt a thrill being so close to wildlife that isn't available in Japan. The park is enjoyable just for a leisurely stroll, but this unexpected encounter became a major highlight of our trip.
