Sawasdee Kha!!! For our fourth and last day in Thailand, we decided to pick Ancient Siam to spend our whole day at, because being considered the world's largest outdoor museum we didn't think half of the day would be enough to explore this famous place and besides we wanted to savor every corner of it. This is also a good place to visit if you are not able to go to other cultural sites in Thailand because you don't have much time just like us 😋😋😋. In here you can already see a lot of Thailand in just one day so better prepare your energy and camera!

About Ancient Siam

Is a 240 acres outdoor museum that features 120 replicas of Thailand's most important historical sites such as reproductions of palace halls, temples, Buddhist shrines, sanctuaries, and traditional houses. Ancient Siam was constructed by an eccentric Thai businessman Lek Viriyaphant. He was interested in art since childhood, which inspired him to establish the Ancient City. Initially, he intended to build a Thai map-shaped golf course where miniatures of important national ancient sites were placed, which aimed to serve tourism and education purposes only. It is open daily from 9 am until 7 pm and can roam around by walking, riding a golf cart, or by riding a bicycle.

How To Get There

The place that we stayed in the Silom area is just a walking distance of Surasak train station. We took a Skytrain from Surasak to go to Bearing train station and from there we booked a grab car to take us to Ancient Siam.

Our Experience

We arrived at 11:00 am and went straight to their office to present the entrance pass we booked through Klook. A few things I observed when we got there were it was wide, clean, and has a relaxing atmosphere. I was expecting a crowded place though since it was a well-known tourist attraction, but surprisingly it wasn't, and still, I was glad because I would be able to enjoy and appreciate every corner without any interruptions.

After we presented our entrance pass the receptionist gave us a few reminders and instructions, provided us with a map for easy navigation, and an MP3 which has recorded info about the different replicas that we can listen to while roaming the place. He also asked us if we'd like to use the golf cart or a bicycle and we choose the bicycle, because we think it would be more fun and convenient for us amidst the scourging heat of the sun.

As we started our bicycle escapade at Ancient Siam the first place that caught our eye was the alley to the souvenir shop and from there bought a beach hat.

We basically enjoyed the rest of our afternoon biking around the wide area until we visited all replicas that are on the map. Indeed a day is needed for someone to achieve the 120 replicas. Aside from the ancient historical replicas, there are also restaurants, food & drinks outlets, souvenir shops, and even a floating market, and most of all it isn't crowded. So surely everyone will enjoy visiting this place especially if you are with your family or friends. Check out some of the pics below!
