Description and is it worth a visit
Ancient city of Mueang Boran (Ancient city, Mueang Boran) is a huge cultural and historical park that follows the contour of Thailand in shape. It contains more than a hundred copies of historical buildings in Thailand, some of them built in full size. There are copies and models of even entire villages, as well as real houses transported here from the provinces. Unfortunately, the originals of many structures have already been destroyed by time and history, and they can only be seen in the photo or in this park.
The main purpose of the park is to acquaint with the history and culture of the country, so Thai children are brought here in large quantities so that they can get acquainted with the history in the form of a kind of lesson in the fresh air. Tourists will be able to travel virtually all over the country here and see the majestic and historical architectural structures of Thailand.
We highly recommend this place to visit, but for this you need to set aside a whole day. the territory of the park is large, so you can take a bicycle for free at the entrance, or an electric car for a small fee. If you arrive by rented transport or taxi, you can enter the park and move around on it, but you will have to pay 400 baht for entry. Audio guides, including in Russian, are provided free of charge at the ticket offices. On the territory there are cafes at reasonable prices, souvenir shops, shops. Be sure to take sun protection (sunscreen, umbrella, cap) and water with you, because you will have to spend almost the whole day under the scorching sun.

🚶 How to get there
The park is located in the suburbs of Bangkok - Samut Prakan, which is located south of Bangkok, 29 kilometers from the center (park on the map). A taxi ride on the meter will cost from 400 baht. But getting to the park on a budget won't be too difficult either. To do this, use Skytrain skytrain to get to the Kheha terminal station, and from there to the park by taxi (from 50 baht) or passing shuttle buses. You can get there even cheaper if you take bus number511 right in the city (it passes near Khaosan tourist area, Democracy Monument, through district Pratunam, Sukhumvit road), and at the end transfer to the minibus.
