If you are anywhere near Pak Chong with kids in tow, this is the evening out to know about. Play Camp — the travelling mini-carnival run by Jay and based in Surin — has rolled into town with its full show: bouncy castles by day, a glowing lot of rides and prize stalls by night, and tickets that start at just 40 baht.
By day the big candy-themed bouncy castles are the centrepiece, with children bouncing and climbing while parents watch from chairs around the edge and the snack and drink stall does steady business under the Play Camp banner. Rain does not cancel the fun either — the rides get covered, the lot turns shiny, and the little red kiddie train waits ready for the moment the sky clears.
By night is when Play Camp really earns its name. The prize-toy stalls stack soft toys into a glowing mountain at the front, the bumper cars fill up with laughing children and brave parents, and the light-up ride cars cruise the lot with their headlights on and little drivers grinning ear to ear. Between rides, families drift between the snack stalls while the whole ground buzzes like a night market.
Alongside the rides there is a toy fair selling at factory prices, so most families leave with a prize or a purchase as well as tired, happy kids. Event days usually run from mid-afternoon into the night, which makes it an easy add-on to a Khao Yai or Pak Chong trip — come in the evening for the full lights-and-laughter effect.
