How Kids-Friendly is Chulalongkorn University?

62%Kids-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 62% Kids-Friendly: Kids can run in the playground, feed fish, and view skeletons in the small Natural History Museum, yet no guided children’s programs and few indoor rests keep the visit moderately suitable.

The premier university of Thailand is a good spot to spend an afternoon and feel the vibes of the local Gen Z. The university is an oasis of tranquility but if the weather gets too hot, duck into Chula Book Center or the co-op!
