Ready to amp up your Bangkok day trips?

Ready to amp up your Bangkok day trips? 😎 I hit up Samut Prakan’s Ancient City and trust me, it’s not your average museum run. If you’re craving outdoor scenes, epic architecture snapshots, and a taste of Thai heritage—all in one spot—this place absolutely slaps 🙌.

Must-See Spot: The Ancient City
Location: 296/1 Moo7 Sukhumvit Road, Bangpoomai, Amphoe Samut Prakan, Samut Prakan Province 10280
Hours: 09:00–19:00 (last ticket at 18:00), open year-round
Admission: ~84 baht (book effortlessly on trip.com for that extra convenience)

👻 Pro-tip from my recent adventure: Check out the Ghost Museum guided tour inside the park! I booked it via trip.com and the experience was super smooth. The guide brought real local stories to life—creepy and cool at the same time. Make sure you ask about the legends behind some of the haunted spots.

While roaming this huge cultural park, you’ll see everything from grand Thai palaces to quirky Chinese buildings, rivers, lush gardens, and even Western-style architecture for that unexpected photo-op. Weather shifts quick—bring a portable umbrella if you’re caught between sunny skies and surprise showers. Giant elephant statues and tranquil ponds make for must-snap moments, so keep your camera charged!

Getting Around: Renting a bike or golf cart at the entrance saves major time and energy (seriously, the grounds are massive). If you’re traveling from downtown Bangkok, grab a taxi or use public transport to Samut Prakan, then hop on a local songthaew.

Food Hacks: There are food stalls dotted around the park with solid local bites. Try the coconut ice cream and grilled chicken skewers (so good after a walk!).

Bonus Tips: Tickets are cheaper if you buy early online, and you can skip the line. Bring cash for snacks and small souvenirs, as some vendors don’t take cards.
