ANCIENT SIAM
Preserving HistoryAncient Siam also known as Ancient City, is a museum park constructed by Lek Viriyaphant occupying over 200 acres in the shape of Thailand. Ancient Siam is dubbed as the world's largest outdoor museum. 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.
(@designmilktravel) Every facet of Thai life from every corner of the country, and every period in history are represented, from Thailand’s pre-history, to the Northern Thai ‘Lanna’ style buildings still popular today. Many of the replicas are of buildings which no longer actually exist, and the idea of Ancient Siam is to help preserve Thai history, culture and customs for future generations – which we think the museum does very well.
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. And very famous for their Botanical Garden from Thai Literature, cluster of pavillons around a garden with plants mentioned in Thai literature, Mueang Boran
