Ancient City, Samut Prakan

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!

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.

It was a pleasant visit for us on the 320 acres of land. If you do not have time to travel around the different historical parks in Thailand to witness the splendors of its past, this is the place to go. The arts and culture of Thailand are being beautifully crafted and displayed on the land. As foreigners, we paid 300Baht each for the entrance fee. We were told by one of the officers that if you are foreigner with a valid Thai working visa, you will only be required to pay 100 Baht. So, make certain that you bring your working visa along.
