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 wonderful day with my family to enjoy the wild animals and marine park. Dolphins show is spectacular, kids were very much excited to see the show. In the summer time its hot, so wall fans in the show area should be more to comfort the audience.

A wonderful place to visit. We chose a golf cart as our means of transportation, and I can't imagine sightseeing without it. The cost of the golf cart is 350 Baht for the first hour and then 100 Baht for each subsequent hour. Remember to bring an ID, which you leave as a deposit. The place is massive, and we probably didn't see everything anyway. Some of the structures are breathtaking. Room for improvement: better road signs pointing toward the attractions. Unfortunately, the QR code didn't work, so we couldn't access the audio guide. The worst part was having lunch at the floating market. The food we got was completely tasteless, and my husband found a bug in his soup!! The mango smoothie was very watered down. We definitely do not recommend eating there. Erawan Museum — a magnificent three-headed elephant. Going inside is an amazing experience. Covered shoulders and legs are mandatory for women. We highly recommend it!
