All in all very impressive and beautiful. Very nice and helpful staff. Lots of clean toilets. Very large grounds. We had a golf cart, which was a great advantage. You should go there early in the morning or in the afternoon to get the right light for taking photos. There is a restaurant and several small shops/eateries. It was a super nice experience. The only drawback was the handling of the elephants, even the small ones are already chained. Staff there only out for money. Extra entrance fee 250 Bath. That could be better.

I had a wonderful experience visiting The Ancient City. The park is absolutely beautiful and extremely well-maintained. I loved how each area represents a different part of Thailand’s history and culture — it feels like traveling across the whole country in just one day. The grounds are peaceful, the architecture is stunning, and there are plenty of great photo spots everywhere you go. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the transportation options inside the park made it easy to explore comfortably.

I thought this was a great value and also an incredible experience. I couldn't believe how quiet the place was and for the price that we paid using the online purchase versus if we were in person we would've paid twice as much. I definitely suggest getting a buffet cause it's freaking delicious, but to be totally honest you're usually so tired and overheated that you're not really hungry. However, if you're staying all day, which I highly suggest you do… It can be really delicious to break your day up.

Very interesting full overview of the siam / Thailand kingdom. We love the kart tour and the variety of the pagoda with many colors. However please avoid the elephants ride it is a shame and poor animal condition.

Visiting Ancient City in Bangkok is like stepping into a living museum of Thailand’s rich cultural heritage. Take a ebike or a cart , totally worth it.

The culture and the size of each park was mesmerising. Rented the e-bike for the ancient city is a must to cultivate each sites of the park.
