To begin the Child’s Play mystery, head to the Village in Sukhothai. From the fast travel sign, go up the stairs and walk straight across the boardwalk until you spot a staircase going down into the water on your right.

At the bottom of the stairs, you’ll find a bottle floating in the water near Uncle Sunan, who is fishing west of Indy's Hut. Pick up the bottle and break it. Inside, you’ll find the First Bottle Message, which officially starts the quest.

From the bottle’s location, head up the stairs and turn left. Walk through the Village and past the rice fields until you reach the northern shrine.

Look for a small open hut nearby, where two people are conversing about thieving monkeys. On the right side of the hut, you’ll spot a slanted tree with a bottle lodged in its branches. Use your whip to yank the bottle down, then smash it to reveal the Second Bottle Message.
