Thailand - Bangkok - Ancient City 05_sq_DSC6180

I believe this is a detail of a replica of the Stupa of Phra Maha That, Nakhon Si Thammarat but with all these things I may have got it wrong as I'm trying to identify from the Ancient Siam parks site plan six months later......

Having spent our first whole day in Bangkok at the chaotically busy Grand Palace and Wat Po we thought on our second day we'd head out to the outskirts of Bangkok to visit the Ancient Siam Park.

This proved to be a good idea as not only did we have the place almost to ourselves but driving round between the 120 or so transplanted or recreated Thai buildings in a golf buggy proved to be a relaxing and stress free way to recover from our previous days exertions.

From Wikipedia : "Ancient Siam (also known as Ancient City, Thai: เมืองโบราณ, Mueang Boran) is a park constructed under the patronage of Lek Viriyaphant and spreading over 200 acres (0.81 km2) in the shape of Thailand.

The founder's original idea was to create a golf course with miniatures of Thailand's historically significant structures spread around the course. During his research he found most structures severely damaged and decided instead to create new miniatures, to save the original structures when possible, or to re-create them full size or scaled down.

Ancient Siam is dubbed as the world's largest outdoor museum. Close to the Crocodile Farm in Samut Prakan province, the 320-hectare 'city' features 116 structures of Thailand's famous monuments and architectural attractions. The grounds of Ancient Siam correspond roughly to the shape of the Kingdom, with the monuments lying at their correct places geographically. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are scaled down.

The replicas were constructed with the assistance of experts from the National Museum to ensure historical accuracy. Outstanding works include the former Grand Palace of Ayutthaya (destroyed in the Burmese invasion of 1767), Phimai Sanctuary in Nakhon Ratchasima, and Wat Khao Phra Viharn on the Cambodian border."
