Step into Thailand’s living st

Step into Thailand’s living storybook at The Ancient City 🤩🏰 This gigantic open-air museum in Samut Prakan turns an ordinary day into a whirlwind adventure across centuries—where you can wander through jaw-dropping palaces, glittering temples, and mythical sculptures, all in one fascinating park!

🚲 Recommended Route:
Rent a bike or hop on the tram right after entering—the grounds are huge! Start at the map-shaped lake then move clockwise, covering all the mini historical landmarks. The best routes pass by the Sanphet Prasat Palace, The Pavilion of the Enlightened, and Sumeru Mountain.

🌟 Must-Do Experiences:
Climb the towers for panoramic shots and take a quiet stroll through the spiritual gardens. Don’t miss popping inside the replica of Wat Phra Kaew for dazzling murals.

📸 Insta-Worthy Angles:
Snap the sun-lit reflections at Pavilion of the Enlightened. The rainbow-colored bridges and ancient temples are prime backdrops; timing your visit for golden hour (around 5–6 PM) will give you magical lighting!

✅ Visiting Tips:
Arrive early to beat midday heat—the park opens at 9:00 AM. Bring extra water, and if you plan lots of photos, a hat is a must! Tickets are available until 6:00 PM, but it’s best to give yourself at least 3 hours to explore.

⚠️ Key Precautions:
The grounds are vast, so comfy shoes are a lifesaver. Some outdoor exhibits aren’t shaded—sunscreen and sunglasses are highly recommended. Keep your ticket handy; you may need it for certain zones.
