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!

Thanks to an electric bike that I could share with my son for 3 hrs at 250 Thai baht, it was so much fun even it was a hot sunny day in that immense park. There are also lots of kiosks that sell souvenirs and drinks and some traditional easy meals at very cheap prices both inside and outside the park's entry.
