“From the rooftop where Hangover 2 was filmed to beachside baby cuddles in Pattaya—Thailand gave us an anniversary to remember.”
Celebrating anniversaries becomes even more meaningful when you have your little one by your side. For us, this year was extra special as we chose Bangkok, the heart of Thailand, as our destination—along with our baby—for a perfect mix of romance, adventure, and comfort.

🏨 Where We Stayed: Lebua at State Tower – A Star in the Bangkok Sky
Our stay at the Lebua at State Tower was nothing short of iconic. If the name rings a bell—it should! This is the very hotel where Hangover Part II was shot, particularly at the breathtaking Sky Bar on the 63rd floor.
Why Lebua is World-Famous:
• 🌆 Home to the world-renowned Sky Bar: With panoramic views of Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River, it’s one of the highest rooftop bars in the world.
• 🍽️ Michelin-starred restaurants: Dining at Lebua is a luxury experience in itself.
• 🛏️ Lavish suites with river views: Perfect for relaxing after a day out, especially with a baby.
• 🎥 Hollywood fame: Featured prominently in The Hangover Part II, the hotel attracts fans from across the globe.
But beyond the fame, what stood out was the hospitality—staff who were kind, attentive, and always ready to assist us as a traveling family.

🏙️ Exploring Bangkok: Temples, Riverfronts & Heritage
Even with a baby in tow, we managed to cover a wide range of attractions across Bangkok, thanks to convenient transport and baby-friendly sights.
🛕 Sanctuary of Truth (in Pattaya)
This intricate wooden structure, entirely carved by hand, is a symbol of Thai spirituality and craftsmanship. A peaceful experience for the soul and a visual treat.
🌇 Asiatique Riverfront
A lovely evening spot with riverside views, street performances, shopping stalls, and even a giant Ferris wheel. Our baby enjoyed the open air, and we loved the vibrant yet relaxing vibe.
🙏 Big Buddha
An iconic temple that offers not just spiritual peace but a panoramic view of the city. Easy to access and stroller-friendly too.
🏛️ The Ancient City (Muang Boran)
A sprawling open-air museum that recreates Thailand’s historic architecture. We felt like we’d toured all of Thailand in a day—complete with traditional Thai music and artisan stalls.

🏖️ Day Trip to Pattaya: Beaches & Bollywood Feels
We took a cab ride to Pattaya Beach—a scenic coastal escape just two hours from Bangkok. For a fun Bollywood twist, a song from Ready starring Salman Khan was filmed here! The vibe was energetic and the sunset? Chef’s kiss.

🌱 Thailand for Vegetarians: A Pleasant Surprise
Unlike many Asian cities where vegetarian options can be scarce, Thailand was a delight.
• 🌿 Abundant veg choices in street food and fine dining.
• 🥥 Fresh coconut water, pad Thai with tofu, sticky rice with mango, Thai curries without fish sauce—all easily available.
• 🍱 Even convenience stores stocked veg-friendly snacks.
The kindness and flexibility of Thai locals made our dining experience super smooth with a baby and specific food preferences.

👶 Traveling with a Baby in Thailand
Thailand is very baby-friendly:
• Hotels like Lebua provided cribs and extra baby supplies.
• Taxis and cabs were easy to find and safe for short trips.
• Attractions had enough open spaces and rest areas.

Thailand offered us romance, relaxation, rich culture, and some unforgettable family moments. From luxury rooftops to ancient temples and sandy shores, every experience added a new layer to our anniversary story.
And to be honest? It wasn’t just a trip—it was a celebration of love, life, and all the little milestones in between.
