Ancient Siam, Open-air museum in Bang Pu Mai, Thailand
The 320-acre park contains 116 replicas and reconstructions of Thai religious sites, palaces, and buildings at one-third of their actual size.
In 1963, Lek Viriyaphant initiated this project to preserve architectural models of Thai monuments for educational and cultural documentation purposes.
The floating market section demonstrates traditional water commerce with vendors selling local products from wooden boats along the constructed waterways.
The museum provides bicycle rentals and golf cart services to help visitors navigate the extensive grounds between 9 AM and 4 PM daily.
The park layout mirrors the geographical shape of Thailand, with each monument positioned in its relative location to match the country's map.
