Step into a giant history book outside Bangkok, at the Ancient City, also known as Ancient Siam or the Muang Boran Museum. Opened in 1972, this massive 320-hectare outdoor park shaped like Thailand is the world’s largest outdoor museum. The brainchild of Lek Viriyaphant, it started as a golf course idea but turned into a showcase of Thailand's history. The best part? The park is shaped just like Thailand, and many buildings are where they'd be in real life. If you haven’t got the time to cover all of Thailand, this is the place to see it all.
Want to see the best of Thailand without hopping on a plane? This place has over 116 mini replicas of famous landmarks. It’s like a cheat code for exploring the country.

Yes, you can enjoy delicious Thai food at the Ancient City. A couple of restaurants are on-site, offering both buffet-style dining and a la carte options. The most hassle-free way to enjoy your visit is to book a ticket with meals included. If you prefer, restaurants are nearby for a wider variety of cuisines.
With so much to see and explore, a full day is recommended to fully appreciate the Ancient City. However, if you're short on time, you can focus on specific areas of interest.
While there's no strict dress code, it's always a good idea to dress respectfully, especially when visiting religious areas. If you plan to visit the Erawan Museum, you should cover your shoulders and knees.
Both The Ancient City and The Erawan Museum are amazing. Very detail and beautiful!
Nice to rent a golf cart and then explore the nice buildings at your leisure
Great day out exploring the city in a golf cart with our long term friends (40+yrs)
The garden was magnificent, the temple and the 3-headed elephant were impressive.
First of all when I came, there was no crowd so I could quickly exchange QR code to ticket and rent golf car. The Ancient City in Bangkok is an incredible place that feels like traveling through all of Thailand in one day. The architecture is stunning, with detailed replicas of the country’s most important landmarks, temples, and historical sites. It’s beautifully maintained, peaceful, and perfect for learning about Thai culture while enjoying breathtaking scenery. A must visit for anyone exploring Bangkok.
Erewan Elephant is an extraordinary piece of monumental art on a gigantic scale. It's crazy but spectacular. Ancient City is just remarkable for its vastness and seemingly endless examples of thai buildings from the most massive temples to the smallest grass roof hut village which is actually lived in. I've been around Thailand a lot over many years and it was good to see the things I recognised reproduced to well but also things I was not familiar with. At ancient city I recommend the excellent thai restaurant at the very far end of the park. Excellent food at a very good price. For both attractions it is essential you buy your tickets online and not at the park where they are not good value. At ancient city I walked 10km which is fine for me but less mobile people may want to hire bikes of golf buggies. Take lots of water.
The old architecture and the Buddha temple are worth exploring. To make life easier to explore the vast expanse, the renting a buggy is comforting.
Smooth entry, self driven electric carts and so clean environment added to the enrich aroma of the ancient city building
The parc is huge and very beautiful, and we went a day where no one was there so it felt like we had the place for ourselves !
Good experence i recomend to visit
Very nice place to take pictures and see something different.

The views were amazing, but what impressed me even more about this trip was how organized the entire experience was. The Skytower sees thousands of tourists every day, but the way the queueing and entry was organized will make sure that you are inside the building and enjoying the captivating scenery in no time.

To see how everything was built, it was very uncomplicated and beautiful! The only thing I found horrible was the elephant husbandry! One baby elephant had chains on his feet and the big elephants were kept for people to ride on! I thought that was terrible! Absolutely horrible! But apart from that it was nice just the elephants really need to be treated much much better or released or put in care where they are treated well!
For using the Audio Guide it is necessary to install an App. There you first have to establish an account with a lot of personal data. This is not acceptable. There should be a one-time possibility to join as a guest NOWHERE was any hint, that the Erawan Museum is half an hour drive away! So I was not able to use this part of my combined ticket and I wasted money for a lack of information For the electronic ticket it is as well necessary to install an App. There was no information about that as well.
Beautiful experience. Must do when visiting Bangkok.
The tickets was ready only after 1.5 hours and a request to the bot about the delay.
