If you want to see beautiful Thai landmarks while getting in some exercise, then the Ancient City is a must. For a small fee you can rent a bike when you enter the Ancient City. The bikes that are included in the small fee are pretty dated and rusty. But they do have somewhat new bikes for another small fee.... More

Really good fun. Although some of the replica ruins are made out of crumbling concrete, a lot of the buildings are original and very attractive. Hiring a bike to cycle round is really good fun. A nice day out. More

very nice attraction to visit, the only problem is that it is a bit far away from bangkok downtown. To go there, you may take BTS(to on nut station)-511 bus(across the road)-36 bus. It will cost you one hour to get Muang Boran. The ticket is not cheap, including the bicycle fee. The park is very big and tiring to... More

Wow what an amazing place. It`s Thailand in a day! If you are in to photography this is just right for you. We took the tram round first to get a feel of the place then you could either take a bike or hire a golf cart. We also had a short boat trip. The shops had some nice bits... More

Imageine a huge park comprising of temples, palaces, the floating market etc. For adult it is 400 baht (foreigner price) for entrance + a bicycle. The most we have paid in all attractions we've been to apart from tours.. You have option of paying for golf cart which i can't remember the price but per hourly basis. It's a pleasant... More

Wow what an amazing day we had, we rent some bikes and visit the replicas of ancient thai culture. Very impressive and cultural. Go to Boran station and take a taxi, about 150 bath, and go at least half a day. Thanks! More

It would be difficult to explain how good this place is. Built by an excentric millionare with a true love of Thai classical architecture, it is a park with winding roads taking you through all styles of Thai architecture. I strongly recommend you to hire one of their bikes and cycle around, it's too large to walk, and driving takes... More

This park, in the shape of Thailand, has scale models of most of the important wats and temples throughout Thailand. It has even recreated the palace from Ahuttiya, which no longer exists. Rent a bike and peddle around the "country" More

The Ancient City is a huge 'theme' park with over 100 buildings, mouments, statues, gardens etc. dotted around it. They represent various important Thai/Siam buildings which are scattered throught Thailand, many are ruined now. Some buildings have been moved from original site, some are copies and some are creative design. All together it is a fascinating trip through Thailand over... More
