Bangkok (Day 6) – Muang Boran the Ancient City
-
Text size 
Muang Boran, the ancient city, is one fascinating sight that is missing from every traveller’s guidebook and website. After a day trip to this amazing park/outdoor museum, it feels as though we have toured the whole country. Honestly — and I’m not exaggerating here — Muang Boran is hands-down the best place I’ve ever visited in Thailand. First of all, the place is so huge, it is a city in its own right! You can explore more than 100 historic landmarks all in one place! Not only is the park in the shape of Thailand, the landmarks are placed according to their actual location. This meticulously-designed museum is literally a miniature Thailand! The ancient city is located in Samut Prakan province outside Bangkok. We hired a cab to take us there and back to our hotel. It was an hour’s drive to get there. And — I can’t stress this enough — it was so totally worthwhile! The sheer size of the park makes it practically impossible to explore on foot. But you can drive your car in (for a fee), rent bicycles and even buggies! Boy do we love the buggies. It sure brings back memories of Bintan Lagoon [...]

Hi :)
I’m Thai and I accidentally found your Muang Boran review while browsing the internet. I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. I used to take a few foreign friends to visit that place and they loved it too. I agree with you it’s like seeing all the important places in Thailand in one day. I was so amazed by the size of the park the first time I visited that place with my family. That’s why I really want all foreigners who come to Thailand to visit this place. It’s totally worth it. Yet it’s not well-known… you know even among Thai people, it’s not well-known either… weird… I never knew this huge park exists in Samutprakarn until 2010. After that I told all my Thai friends to at least visit it once. haha… They really need more advertising.
