Off The Beaten Track – The Ancient Siam

The Ancient Siam, or Muang Boran in Thai, is like an open book of history and an open door to the real Thailand.  Here you will find numerous reproductions of palace halls, temples, stupas, stone sanctuaries and traditional houses and replicas of villages from all regions of the country. You can also visit several reconstructed historical buildings, authenticated communities with their inhabitants doing their daily chores.

Access for cars costs THB 300, golf carts THB 200 to THB 500 while bicycles and tram tours are free. Thai people have to pay extra for the tram tour. Some people walk around the park but it is really too big and too hot to go on foot. There are places to buy drinks around the park.  Good places to eat are in the restaurants in the floating market area.
