This is the place to be if you have only short time to visit Thailand but you want to see all the best that Thailand have in term of architecture and cultural issue.

good to visit
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/16/08
The ancient city is worth a visit It has a lot of history more so for the Thai people It was a very very hot day when we went not a lot of shade.We took a picnic lunch as not to many places to get a meal.Hard to beleive that you are in Bangkok when you go to visit this place it is huge You cango around in golf buggys or other vehichles a bit to ...
This park does a good job at giving visitors a glimpse of what Thailand (outside of Bangkok) used to look like. The replicas of famous ruins or sites are not of full scale but you get the picture. It's far from impressive as the real thing but if you only have a day to see old Thailand, it's worth a look. Our favorite was the Thai ...
The headlong pace and flawed modernity of BANGKOK (called "Krung Thep" in Thai) match few people's visions of the capital of exotic Siam. Spiked with scores of highrise buildings of concrete and glass, it's a vast flatness which ...
I arrived rather late in the afternoon after visiting the Three Headed Elephant Shrine which was donated to the people for preserving history and to let them see things that are really beautiful. A fast, bumpy ride in an open van taxi (7 baht) brought me here and I enjoyed my golf cart ride among the interesting architectural examples combined ...
To visit The Ancient City in the South of Bangkok, is a wonderful experience. You should go on week day to have the time to appreciate all monuments.

great place!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/20/06
I liked it very much. there was almost too much to take in. a little strange knowing that the thing is a copy but cool to see the architecture beside each other to compare... was an expensive trip in the end 400 baht there in cab. 300 to get in. 700 for golf cart for 3 hours. (i had to! it was part of the fun!) cab home 250. Oh well. Still a good time.
The Ancient City is one the places for you to visit. If you are short of time and want to see all the landmarks all over Thailand, then go to this Muang Boran (Ancient City) in Samut Prakarn, just about two hour drive from the city of Bangkkok.
If you do not much have time to travel far from Bangkok, this is a good option. It is a re-construction of typical Thai architecture - including temples, houses, a tea house, shops, etc. And it is located in a beautifull park delightfully landscaped! A great day with the family away from the congestion of Bangkok!

Not really exciting
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/05/06
The place is touted as the thing to see but it is very boring. It is very large and has replicas of former places that no longer are around but so what.
