I was expecting audio guide and normal bicycle to be included , but they weren't. Overall , the final price with an electric bike for 3 hours (250bht), was lower than buying the ticket at the entrance , so I would 100% recommend this option .

First of all when I came, there was no crowd so I could quickly exchange QR code to ticket and rent golf car. The Ancient City in Bangkok is an incredible place that feels like traveling through all of Thailand in one day. The architecture is stunning, with detailed replicas of the country’s most important landmarks, temples, and historical sites. It’s beautifully maintained, peaceful, and perfect for learning about Thai culture while enjoying breathtaking scenery. A must visit for anyone exploring Bangkok.

The places were maintained well and the roads were clean inside the premises. The main attraction was the self driving experience inside the ancient city

It was wonderful to see old Thailand revived. It is good when history is remembered for the sake of the younger people.

Amazing scenes... loved it... will do it again but only focus on one museum per day, so much to see. Ancient city is very big and items and souvenirs on the grounds are the cheapest in Bangkok.

In the heart of Samut Prakan in Bangkok lies the educational and picturesque Ancient City of Thailand (Muan Boran). With over 300 hectares of historical architecture and modern art, the park is renowned as one of the largest outdoor museums on Earth. Ideal for visitors of all ages, the Ancient City allows you to get to know the country in a unique and interactive way.

Travel Back In Time To Ancient Thailand

Upon entry into the park, get to see over 116 scaled-down Thai monuments, historically accurate to the finest details. Some are reconstructions of famous temples, buildings, palaces, markets, and ruins from past eras of Thailand. Others are memorials of original relics exhibited at the park. The attractions are segregated into sections, depicting the country’s diverse culture, including the widely known Rangsan Zone.

An Adventure To Remember

Surrounding the Erawan museum, you will find a fairytale garden, perfect for an idyllic walk. Around it, you will encounter modern art, bridges, and unique sculptures. You can also visit the three elephants who reside here and feed them for an extra fee. After a day well-spent, restaurants and snack bars offer delicious meals to revitalize you. Don’t forget to pick up a few souvenirs on your way out!
