What is Forest of Play Bangkok?
Forest of Play Bangkok is a newly redesigned play space located at the PlanToys headquarters, created as a living example of sustainable and thoughtful play design.
The space is shaped like a Chinese junk ship and divided into different play zones:
- role-play areas
- construction zones
- movement-based play
- sensory exploration corners
Around 90% of the installations are made from recycled and upcycled materials, reflecting PlanToys’ philosophy: create more while using fewer new resources.
This is not just a playground - it’s a concept space, where sustainability meets child-led, open-ended play.
What we liked
- PlanToys toys everywhere
If you’re considering buying something - this is basically a real-life showroom where your child can test toys before you buy. - Creative installations
The design feels different from typical indoor playgrounds - more thoughtful, less commercial. - Mirror maze
A highlight for us - our child absolutely loved it.
What to consider before visiting
- No coffee or food
This is important - it’s not a place where you can comfortably spend a long time as a parent. - Not very clean
They don’t have a no-shoes policy. - Rough finishing in some areas
The sustainability approach is great, but visually and physically it can feel a bit raw. - No dedicated kids’ toilet facilities or low sinks
Visiting hours & booking
The space operates in 3 daily sessions:
- 10:00 – 11:30
- 13:00 – 14:30

Who is it best for?
- Kids 3.5 to 10 years old
- Families interested in Montessori-style or open-ended play
- Parents who want to explore PlanToys products before buying
Final thoughts
Forest of Play Bangkok is an inspiring concept and a great example of sustainable design in practice.
But it feels more like:
👉 a short visit experience
👉 or a destination if you’re already nearby
- not a place to plan your whole day around.
