Muang boran Ancient City | Theme Park / Zoo in Ban... |

It is said to be the world's largest open-air museum, located 33 km east of Bangkok.

Mueang Boran, where "mueang" means city and "boran" means ancient.

This is a place where several temples in Thailand are reduced in scale or recreated.

​

We went as far as Bearing Station, the terminal station of BTS (Sirajul), and then took a taxi.

​

It took approximately 30 minutes to travel from the bearing to Muang Boran, and the taxi fare was 110 baht.

Personally, I find it easy to get around, so I recommend it for those doing a free trip to Bangkok. hehe

​

It felt like I did it cheaply, and I felt quite proud ^^

​
 

​

This is the entrance to Muang Boran.

There were quite a few tour buses. Inside one of them, I saw students who appeared to be Thai middle schoolers, not foreigners.

It seems like many people visit this historical park, which features ancient buildings from Thailand in real size or scaled-down models, for educational purposes as well.

​

​

​
 

Admission fee is 700 THB per person (adults 700 THB, children 350 THB).

At first, I thought it might be expensive, but after spending about three hours exploring, I was very satisfied. ^^

Visits are available from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

​

​

There are five ways to move within Muang Boran.

1. Walking 2. Bicycle 3. Golf cart 4. Private car 5. Muang Boran tram are available.

The photo above shows the waiting area for the tram.

​

​

Since the property is quite large, it's almost impossible to walk. ^^:

Since the tram is free, it might be worth trying it out.

​

We offer golf cart rentals.

Simply submit your passport when renting.

​

​

​

​

2-person seats are 150 baht per hour, 3-person seats are 300 baht per hour, and 6-person seats are 450 baht per hour.

 Advance reservations are not available; please present your passport at the counter upon arrival.

​

​

​

Bicycles are also available for free rental. 

You can choose this option when purchasing tickets for the bicycle or tram, and 

If you'd like, we can change it on-site.

Since vehicles inside move slowly, it's not bad to ride a bicycle.

But it's quite hot because of the scorching sun... 

​

​

​

As you can see from the map, I recommend this to those with good stamina. lol

​

​

​

​

Come on, let's go into Muangboran! ^^

Our group traveled by golf cart. The wind was blowing and the weather was nice—perfect for sightseeing. Hehe.

​

​

​

The palace was golden, but it looks a bit unusual.

​

​

Ancient buildings are interspersed throughout, and parking spaces are also available.

​

It is a building from the 14th to 15th century.

If you go on a tour, you'll be able to get explanations from the guide about all sorts of things~ ^^:

​

​

​

​

​

This is Old Market Town, a reconstructed old village in Thailand.

​

​

All buildings are equipped with explanations in both Thai and English.

​

​

​

Does it look like an old village in Thailand? Haha

​

​

​

A variety of locations, including a bar, a pharmacy, a small grocery store, and a theater, have been recreated.

​

​

​

It's a barbershop. It looks very similar to those in Korea. 

​

​

​

​

Doesn't it have a certain vibe?

It's also great for taking photos. The Thais were busily snapping pictures. ^^haha

​

​

​

The pond is also beautifully decorated. It looks quite similar to those in China or Korea.

​

​

​

It was possible to view from the inside as well, so I looked at them one by one, and later chose to see only the ones I wanted to revisit.

It took a long time, Yum-cheol. Hee~hee~

​

​

​

There weren't many people, so riding around in a golf cart was quite fun. ^^:

There is also a floating market in Muang Boran.

​

Damnon Saduak, Amphawa, and the floating market were overcrowded with too many people~

​

​

It was quiet and serene here, making it delightful to take in the surroundings.

There aren't many souvenir shops like Damonsaduyuk; there seem to be only about three.

​

​

There aren't many restaurants either. We simply had a bowl of noodles here.

(One bowl wasn't enough, though... lol)

Eventually, there were so many that I got lost halfway through wondering where I was, and I also marveled at the unique scenery. ^^:

As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts once more at Muang Boran~

 I'm really glad you came.

For a free trip to Bangkok, it's not far from Bangkok, and transportation costs are low when using public transit^^

Though the famous Daejeon Sadu-ik is well-known, and the royal palace is nice, there are too many people and it's too noisy, so I don't think I can take my time to explore it slowly.

When we arrived, taxis were waiting, so we returned to Bangkok without any issues.

I highly recommend this for anyone traveling freely in Bangkok who has some flexibility in their itinerary, or for those who haven't visited yet. ^^
