Screen-free activities for teens in Bangkok (13-18 years)
It’s important that our teenager learn to rely on themselves for entertainment instead of constantly electronics or paid after school activities. Technology has a place and can be helpful, but as with anything in life… balance is the key to health and happiness.
It will be hard, but SO worth it… technology can be addicting to our kids and even for us (because it makes life easier when they are watching a show or playing a game on their mobile phones and we can be do what we want to do), but that is what makes it even more important that we break the cycle and limit it.
Below some ideas for teenager what they can do alone or with their peers together around Bangkok:
Superpark Thailand @ICONSIAM, 6th floor
Spanning 4,000 square feet, SuperPark has over 20 sport-based games and activities to take part in. It’s made up of 3 zones: Game Arena, Adventure Area, and Freestyle Hall, there is fun for every age.

The Movement Playground, Sukhumvit Soi 69
The Movement Playground is a fun alternative to a regular gym. At the Movement Playground are typically kids and adults of all ages at all times. When you are finished with your class you’ll leave with the biggest gift, “something you did for yourself and by yourself.”
