Ancient Siam (Muang Boran)
เมืองโบราณ
Thailand's answer to Splendid China, an open-air museum covering over 800 mu, with 116 famous ancient buildings reproduced as replicas and miniatures laid out according to a map of Thailand.
Ancient Siam was founded in 1963 by businessman Lek Viriyaphant. The park is shaped like Thailand's territory, and reconstructed buildings are placed according to their geography, including the Ayutthaya Royal Palace, Preah Vihear and the Sukhothai ruins, with some structures being original buildings moved to the site. The park is very large, so renting a bicycle or electric cart is recommended. Entry costs about 700 baht, including a bicycle. It is located in Samut Prakan province, about 10 minutes by taxi from Kheha station on the BTS Sukhumvit Line, and about 35 km from the city centre.
