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.

To see how everything was built, it was very uncomplicated and beautiful! The only thing I found horrible was the elephant husbandry! One baby elephant had chains on his feet and the big elephants were kept for people to ride on! I thought that was terrible! Absolutely horrible! But apart from that it was nice just the elephants really need to be treated much much better or released or put in care where they are treated well!

    Erewan Elephant is an extraordinary piece of monumental art on a gigantic scale. It's crazy but spectacular. Ancient City is just remarkable for its vastness and seemingly endless examples of thai buildings from the most massive temples to the smallest grass roof hut village which is actually lived in. I've been around Thailand a lot over many years and it was good to see the things I recognised reproduced to well but also things I was not familiar with. At ancient city I recommend the excellent thai restaurant at the very far end of the park. Excellent food at a very good price. For both attractions it is essential you buy your tickets online and not at the park where they are not good value. At ancient city I walked 10km which is fine for me but less mobile people may want to hire bikes of golf buggies. Take lots of water.

  • 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!
