The Ancient City, also known as Muang Boran, is in the province of Samut Prakarn. It is also located close to the Crocodile Farm. Muang Boran is known as the world’s largest outdoor museum for both entertaining and historically interesting. It is located on old Sukhumvit Highway, Km 33. This 320-acre outdoor museum is an architectural reflection of Thailand’s magnificent past. There are more than 100 scaled down constructions of Thailand’s most important historical landmarks and monuments including temples and palaces. Some of them can no longer be visited in their original locations. The grounds of the Ancient City correspond roughly to the shape of the Kingdom, with each of the monuments lying at their correct places geographically. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are one-third scale.
