Play. Sip. Smile. And Relax: what each word means at LariDea
Our slogan is 4 short words: Play. Sip. Smile. And Relax.
Each word is a promise to your family, and each one has something behind it that you can see on your first visit. Read in order, the 4 words follow a visit: your child plays, you sip a coffee, you both smile, and you relax.
Here's what each word means at LariDea.
Play
Play comes first because children come first. LariDea has 2 floors, and each one is made for its own age group.
- Ground floor, Rainbow Pony (ages 1 to 3): soft play, slides, a ball pit, a pony carousel, building blocks and pretend play
- Upper floor, Astro Pony (ages 4 to 10): trampolines, a zipline, foam and ball pits, climbing walls and tunnels, a spiral slide, a suspended net with yoga balls and an interactive wall
We designed Astro Pony with a specialist who works with children. Our team keeps the 2 age groups apart all day, busy weekends included, so toddlers play at their own pace and bigger children have room to move.
The playground is indoors, cool and clean, so it works on a hot afternoon and on a rainy day. Everyone wears socks, adults included.
Parents are welcome to play too. You can join your child on almost all the equipment. The spiral slide is the one exception: it's for children only, for safety.
Children learn which pony belongs to their age before they learn the floor number, so "I'm going to Astro today" means somethingto a 5-year-old.
Our story "Rainbow Pony and Astro Pony: our playground for ages 1 to 10" walks through both floors in detail.
Sip
Sip is the word for you. Our coffee bar is on the ground floor, a few steps from Rainbow Pony, and our baristas make coffee, smoothies and fresh juice there all day.
Our beans come from a roastery in Bangkok, in 2 roasts:
- Medium roast: a blend of Brazil Santos and Laos Bolaven beans
- Dark roast: Laos Bolaven beans on their own
The menu covers the classics, from espresso to flat white and latte, plus specials such as egg coffee, salted coffee, Thai-style coffee and the black orange, an americano with yuzu.
Children have their own menu too: babychino, cocoa, fresh milk, milkshakes, smoothies, fresh orange juice and ice cream. A babychino lets a toddler hold their own cup while you drink yours. There are also toasts, sandwiches, wraps and small bites for hungry players.
The café has free Wi-Fi, and there's seating for parents on both floors. You can also visit the café without a playground ticket and sit by the front window or on our outdoor terrace.
Café food and drinks stay in the café, which keeps hot cups away from running children.
Our coffee bar story has the full details.
Smile
Smile is what we hope everyone takes home. It often comes from small moments: a finished craft, a new friend at the table, a first ride down the zipline.
Our activity corner on the ground floor runs free craft sessions 3 times a day, at 11:00, 15:00 and 18:00. Each session lasts 15 to 30 minutes, with up to 4 or 5 children at the table with 1 host, and a parent sitting next to each child. Children fold paper animals, make masks and puppets, thread beads and more.
Paid activities are also available on request, with a supervisor and all materials included.
Birthday parties happen on the stage upstairs. Our party hosts take care of the décor, games and timing, so parents can sit down at their own child's party.
Our team speaks Thai and English, and we hire for patience first. Our activity corner story explains how the sessions work.
And Relax
Relax is the word we work for most, because a parent can only relax when they trust the place. Here's what's behind it:
- 3 matching stickers at check-in: 1 on your child's clothes, 1 for you and 1 for our entry log. A child can only leave with the adult holding the matching sticker. Your phone number from check-in means we can reach you quickly if we need to.
- Gated, monitored exits on the way out.
- Play supervisors on both floors for the whole opening day, and CCTV cameras in the play areas.
- Cleaning all day: high-touch surfaces wiped every hour, toys rotating through sanitation, and a deep clean every day, before opening and after closing.
- 1 nanny for 1 child: our nannies are trained in first aid, AED and CPR. While a nanny looks after your child, you can stay for a coffee or leave LariDea for a while.
Relax can mean different things. For one parent, it's a coffee while watching from a comfortable seat. For another, it's an hour at Terminal 21 next door while a nanny plays with their child. Both are fine here.
Our stories about cleanliness and safety and about the nanny service explain each of these in full.
Why "And Relax" comes last
The first 3 words are about what happens. The last one is about how you feel.
A parent relaxes when the rest is in place: a safe floor for their child's age, a good cup in their hand, a child who is smiling. That's why "And Relax" comes at the end. It's the result of the other 3 words.
Your first visit, word by word
- Play: bring socks for everyone, or buy LariDea grip socks at reception. Ask our team to show you the floor for your child's age.
- Sip: order at the counter, and enjoy your drink at a café table.
- Smile: check the time. Free craft sessions start at 11:00, 15:00 and 18:00.
- And Relax: keep your sticker safe until you leave. If you'd like an hour to yourself, ask abouta nanny.
