One such respite within the heart of the city is Lumpini Park, subject of another of my pages. But a far more expansive and ambitious green site is to be found just a few miles south of the main conurbation, in the province of Samut Prakan. Muang Boran is little known to most tourists who visit Bangkok, yet it should really be on everyone's list of must-see sights, a wonderful cultural experience, an architectural extravaganza, and a glimpse of the history of Thailand in miniature. This web page is a short photographic guide to this beautiful place. What Is Muang Boran ? Also known as 'Ancient Siam' or 'The Ancient City', Muang Boran is a planned display of gardens, lakes and canals, buildings, and re-creations of monuments and statues, set on a 300 acre site. But is it a museum? Or is it a theme park? It's a bit like an open air museum because the exhibits are historic in nature.





Also the intent which lies behind most of the showcase features is clearly educational. But if this is a museum, then it is a museum in which very little is truly genuine. It's a bit like a theme park, like Disney Epcot Centre or Universal Studios, because as we have just explained, most of the exhibits are not real. Most of the ancient looking buildings are modern. But unlike Disney-style parks, there's no gimmickry or commercialism or rides for the children. The aim is authenticity, and the intention to inform visitors is sincere. Muang Boran is something different. Like a botanical garden it's a wander through attractive landscapes each populated by attractive features. Like an archaeological ruin it's a wander through history and the way people once lived. A museum, a theme park, an entertainment - it is many things. Above all however, it is a celebration of Thailand's history, architecture and culture, and Thai pride in their country. Although there is more to the Ancient City than buildings and architecture, 116 separate building constructions make up the main exhibits of the park.





These constructions are not all of the same kind. Several exhibits are genuine, original buildings which have been dismantled and transported from their original setting and restored in Muang Boran. The majority of exhibits fall into the category of reproductions of great palaces and pagodas, temples and pavilions. Some of these still exist in their original form elsewhere in the country, whilst some others are now long gone, but are here recreated from old maps, illustrations and texts which describe the buildings in their hey-day. Some are life-size 'models' while others are reduced in scale to a quarter or half size. Model' is not really the best term, as these are stone or brick built constructions - real buildings in their own right. The third category of structures are fantastical buildings and scenes which have never existed in the real world, but which are an important part of Thai mythology and religion.





Statues of Gods and strange creatures from old folk legends abound in the park. An example of such a structure is the extravagant statue shown in the image below. A folk museum is to be found in the north eastern section of the park, and there is also a re-creation of a street market, with occasional shows and exhibitions of Thai dance on display. And all of this is to be found in an attractive garden setting of flower beds, trees and waterways. The park designers have even created a replica hill in the north east corner, one tenth the size of a natural escarpment on the Thai-Cambodian border where the ruins of an ancient Hindu temple still stands. Plans to develop Muang Boran were first put forward in the year 1963 by Thai businessman Lek Viriyaphant. Initially this millionaire Mercedes Benz dealer intended to create a novelty golf course in Samut Praken, which would be made distinctive by placing miniature models of Thailand's ancient sites around the greens and fairways.
