About Ancient Siam

Visit Ancient Siam, a one-of-a-kind outdoor museum, where you'll learn about the history and significance of Thai architecture and attractions such as Wat Chong Kham & Lan Chang Repository. Sounds interesting? Here's everything you need to know.

Address296, 1 Sukhumvit Road, Tambon Bang Pu Mai, Amphoe Mueang Samut Prakan, Chang Wat Samut Prakan 10280, Thailand
Also known asMuang Boran Bangkok
Year opened1963
Founded byJim Thompson

Did you know?

Ancient Siam is the world's largest outdoor museum, covering 320 hectares in area!

Lek Viriyaphant, the mastermind behind the Ancient City, initially wanted to build a golf-course shaped like Thailand, but changed his mind to this outdoor museum concept after he found the need to educate people on Thailand's history.

The entire area of the park is shaped to resemble Thailand, as seen on a map. Most of the structures are also placed quite close to their actual geographical location!

Though it is not spoken about as often, Ancient Siam has been around for quite some time now. The museum was constructed in 1963 and has been open to the public since 1972.

Why visit Ancient Siam?

Discover an offbeat spot near Bangkok

The Ancient City is only just now becoming a well known tourist attraction, so a lot of people don't hear about it until they do a ton of research. But visiting this outdoor museum is worth it to explore Thai architecture and landscapes, all within one attraction.

Experience South East Asia in a nutshell

While the museum is not large enough to cover all of South East Asia, you'll get to see replicas of monuments from Thailand (of course), Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar. You might even be motivated to plan your next trip to one of these countries after seeing the mini-recreations.

A good alternative to sold out attractions

While the chances are quite low, in case you don't get tickets to visit attractions such as the Giant Swing or the Reclining Buddha, you can see a scaled down, accurate version at The Ancient City! But Ancient Siam is not just full of replicas, mind you; they also have several self designed structures that you won't find outside of the park.

Ancient City was well worth the visit; we really enjoyed it. I’d definitely recommend renting a golf cart because the grounds are quite large! The Erawan Museum with the bronze elephant was also fantastic. Highly recommended, and buying tickets here was easy.

If you want a breathtaking view of Bangkok, this is definitely a place you shouldn't miss. The downside is that it's quite expensive. The price definitely doesn't justify the experience.

Had an amazing experience at the Mahanakhon SkyWalk in Bangkok! The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking, especially during sunset and at night when the whole city lights up. The glass floor was thrilling and surprisingly fun, and the overall atmosphere felt very premium and well managed.

It’s a truly unique place—a vast, beautifully designed area showcasing Thai architecture. The golf cart service is excellent, making it easy to explore the grounds. In fact, we were able to see all the sights twice using it. The garden itself is also very well maintained. It’s definitely worth a visit.

It's a great interactive museum to explore the culture of Thailand. We went with our 5 year old son and had great fun driving the golf cart around the temples. Unfortunately a lot of sights were under construction and therefore closed, but this just means there's more to come for future tourists. 🤗
