It was a great experience. In my opinion people can just go there to see and understand the history and culture of Thailand. The tickets we bought online were much cheaper than at the cashier there and we got fast access. You can buy there bikes to go around which I really recommend, the traditional bikes are 100 bath (if I remember correct) the whole day while the e-bikes are charged per hour.

This was my favourite attraction in Bangkok. Its also away from the extremeky busy towncenter. Theres no metro link to here though so make sure to have Grab installed on your app for booking a cab. With headout we got two tickets for the price of one! So worth it.

The Ancient City is huge and incredibly beautiful (rent a bike or golf cart, you will need it), it's a great place to enjoy all the beautiful structures surrounded by a very peaceful ambient! The only note: give the elephants to an elephant sanctuary, they looked well treated but there's no need for them to be there in a not really large space, the structures and the entire place are beautiful enough. The Erawan Museum is stunning! Visit and admire the main building, it is gourgeous, but don't forget to explore the garden and the whole space, it is full of wonderful peaceful corners, waterfalls and places to just enjoy the scenery. The security guard in the main building was wonderful, he noticed we were having trouble taking some photos and stepped up to help us take some photos that were honestly of the quality of a professional photoshoot! Thank you so much! Regarding Headout, we are very grateful to have found this tickets they were half the price the tickets at the door and we were able to buy them while on our way to Ancient City, by the time we arrived we already had the tickets in our email. We had no issues so it was a wonderful experience!

The Ancient City is such a labor of love. The workers continue to grow and build it and the project in and of itself is quite miraculous as the owner (now deceased) originally had the intention to build a golf course and instead left the legacy of a magical space. Yes it's hot. Yes it's big. And yea it's a bit touristy. But you know what? There are also monks lodging there, some of the temples are holy sites, and the space is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. I loved it, so much I've visited twice. The place is big enough that you can see something different every time. I recommend going under the temples too, don't just do drive bys and call it a day. Walk around (past your golf cart), amble, explore, appreciate the small details that one dream and thousands of people continue to build. I recommend exploring in a small group away from the crowds so you get more of the magic experience. It's worth it. Bring water, sunscreen, and cash to buy cold drinks and popsicles--you will need it in the heat! Happy adventuring!

Muang Boran is an excellent mini version of Thailand. The exhibits were all very well made and maintained. A pleasant drive around the park at our own pace, no hassles, no rush. Well done to the current staff and to the founders for their vision. I also had an excellent Phat Krapao at the end of our exploring!

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!
