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!

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.

It was an excellent place to visit. Beautiful structures, greenery and space. You can easily move by golfcart and enjoy ice-cream, coconut water and food at several places in between.

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. 🤗

Affordable, well-organized, and reliable! 👍🏼 The information in the app was precise, accurate, and easy to understand. Very helpful!

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!
