The Ancient City, Bangkok, Bangkok Thailand

Ancient City is a ‘mini-world’ focusing on Thailand’s history and culture. Representations of all aspects or eras of Thai culture are displayed here. A site of some 320 acres, the Ancient City is shaped like Thailand and as you wander around the ‘country’ you encounter the architecture and spirit of each place. Some of the reconstructions are of buildings that do not exist any more. In ‘northern Thailand’ you can see a wooden temple (‘Wat’) that typifies the temples from that area. It’s probably best to travel around the site by bicycle which can be rented from the park. Again, this is an all day event. The journey to the site will take you quite a while and you’ll need a day to wander around everything so it will be an early start and a late finish. This is a great place, but a bit of a commitment in terms of time and effort. Unless you really do have lots of time available, it will probably be better to miss this attraction
