It was a great experience. In my opinion people can just go there to see and understand the history and culture of Thailand. The tickets we bought online were much cheaper than at the cashier there and we got fast access. You can buy there bikes to go around which I really recommend, the traditional bikes are 100 bath (if I remember correct) the whole day while the e-bikes are charged per hour.
This was my favourite attraction in Bangkok. Its also away from the extremeky busy towncenter. Theres no metro link to here though so make sure to have Grab installed on your app for booking a cab. With headout we got two tickets for the price of one! So worth it.
The Ancient City is huge and incredibly beautiful (rent a bike or golf cart, you will need it), it's a great place to enjoy all the beautiful structures surrounded by a very peaceful ambient! The only note: give the elephants to an elephant sanctuary, they looked well treated but there's no need for them to be there in a not really large space, the structures and the entire place are beautiful enough. The Erawan Museum is stunning! Visit and admire the main building, it is gourgeous, but don't forget to explore the garden and the whole space, it is full of wonderful peaceful corners, waterfalls and places to just enjoy the scenery. The security guard in the main building was wonderful, he noticed we were having trouble taking some photos and stepped up to help us take some photos that were honestly of the quality of a professional photoshoot! Thank you so much! Regarding Headout, we are very grateful to have found this tickets they were half the price the tickets at the door and we were able to buy them while on our way to Ancient City, by the time we arrived we already had the tickets in our email. We had no issues so it was a wonderful experience!
The Ancient City is such a labor of love. The workers continue to grow and build it and the project in and of itself is quite miraculous as the owner (now deceased) originally had the intention to build a golf course and instead left the legacy of a magical space. Yes it's hot. Yes it's big. And yea it's a bit touristy. But you know what? There are also monks lodging there, some of the temples are holy sites, and the space is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. I loved it, so much I've visited twice. The place is big enough that you can see something different every time. I recommend going under the temples too, don't just do drive bys and call it a day. Walk around (past your golf cart), amble, explore, appreciate the small details that one dream and thousands of people continue to build. I recommend exploring in a small group away from the crowds so you get more of the magic experience. It's worth it. Bring water, sunscreen, and cash to buy cold drinks and popsicles--you will need it in the heat! Happy adventuring!
Muang Boran is an excellent mini version of Thailand. The exhibits were all very well made and maintained. A pleasant drive around the park at our own pace, no hassles, no rush. Well done to the current staff and to the founders for their vision. I also had an excellent Phat Krapao at the end of our exploring!
beautiful place, it was nice, smooth experice, one thing i'd like to add is people with online tickets are allowed to take their personal car inside without extra fees and don't need to rent a golf buggy or pay car fees.
IT was a very nice expierience, a lot of beautiful buildings and a very big venue. We Wish there we're a online map or some interactve Apps. The normal bicycles we're 100 years old (anicient) 😪 it was a little bit Dangerous with this Bikes(the Breaks are very Bad and the pedels ...) and however, the aninals Look very sad and depressesd.
Thanks to an electric bike that I could share with my son for 3 hrs at 250 Thai baht, it was so much fun even it was a hot sunny day in that immense park. There are also lots of kiosks that sell souvenirs and drinks and some traditional easy meals at very cheap prices both inside and outside the park's entry.
It was fun. Easy to redeem 😍❤️ hassle free. And the museum visit was extravagant. Thank you so much for the easy booking.
It's really beautiful place worth to visit .. sadly we couldn't visit the erwan museum which is around 13 km away from the ancient city... Ancient city itself is so beautifully made .
It was marvellous seeing all the exhibits. I loved that I could cycle around and see what I wanted to see, without having to rely on anyone else. Such a fun experience and will recommend it to anyone I know who is coming to Bangkok. Easy to get to and the free transport from the main road to the entrance was greatly appreciated.
The replicas of the buildings are amazing, seems my visitors are here for a short time is great to have this place combined the hall regions of Thailand xx
On this trip our guide was perfect. From the begining we get advices how to get to the meeting point , than a lot of information about Thai culture and at the end also help with travel back. At it self everything was organized really good, guide speaks understandable. We always felt carried.
Ancient City - impressive on a grand scale. Demonstrates Thai culture - an indication of the pride Thai people have for their traditions
I really do NOT like the elephants there! This is not okay. Holding them as slaves for riding - shocking! I will NOT recommend you because of this. Stop it!
It looks fantastic and is very well organized, driving cab is fun, lunch was perfect with tastes from many regions of Thailand
Headout offened the Tickets with 50% off the regular price. Everything went extremly well Ancient City is a MUST SEE if you are in Bangkok
The small lady taking care of the elephants told only me not to take photos. She saw others (Asians) taking photos but only told me not to take any. Quite rude and rather agressive too.. Left me wondering if she is racist and that was the worst experience in the Ancient City. The rest was pretty awesome.
I would recommend your web to recommend which types of tickets is better for international tourist as they are unclear which more appropriate to them.
Very beautiful site - a must see for tourists! So much fun driving with the golfcarts through the museum. Excellent food at the other end from the entramce...
Tickets were easy to get and ancient city is so fun and easy to get around. you can rent a buggy/bikes at reception and there are plenty for everyone (you cant book beforehand anyway). Staff super helpful and you can pretty much go around unsupervised at your own pace once you get your buggy/bike. 10/10
Awesome place. Worth visiting every penny and second spent there. Head out booking is a boon, got 50% discount. Book on same day. Take metro to Kheha, then a public shared tuk tuk just below the metro station to reach ancient city.. book a buggy to Roam around the place... you will get hang of maps in few minutes and then it's so easy 👌👌👌👌🔥
Hi This is a great experience. Actually I went to Thailand without booking this ticket. And on the day before only I tried to book the ticket. And somehow I found this website. It's clean and neat screen page(UI). But at that time I was doubted that it was a genuine website or not. So I tried to contact them and one person from Bangalore called me. And he cleared my all doubts and I booked the tickets from Bangkok with the help of a Bangalore executive. I just reached the ancient city the next day and I show the QR code to the counter and that's it.! It is a really good app to explore whoever is travelling. :) Thank you so much.!!!
Liked how the attendant at the desk helped me to book online to save 50%. Amazung Buddha Temple as you go in. Great that you can drive your own car around, so can take your time. Feeding the elephants
everything was amazing, i love Bangkok

Breathtaking experience, really a very nice trip.
Beautiful experience. Must do when visiting Bangkok.

The place is very nice and well kept. I thought the bike rental was a bit expensive. But everything was great.

This zone is home to Thailand's mountainous north and mirrors the region's distinct Lanna architecture. Covering 20 hectares, it features over 50 structures, including replicas of famous temples like Wat Phra That Doi Suthep.
Don't miss: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai Gate, Lanna Village
Opening hours: 9am to 7pm; daily.
To fully appreciate the Ancient City, consider the intense tropical sun. The optimal times to visit are early morning (around 9 AM) or late afternoon (after 3 PM). This avoids the scorching midday heat while allowing you to capture stunning photographs with the golden hour light. If you're keen on biking, the cooler morning air is ideal.
While the Ancient City welcomes visitors throughout the week, weekdays offer a better experience with fewer crowds. You can explore the vast grounds at your own pace without the hustle and bustle. However, if you're interested in catching a traditional performance or enjoying the lively atmosphere, weekends, though more crowded, might make for a better choice.
The dry season (November to February) offers the most pleasant conditions with comfortable temperatures and minimal rainfall. This is the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds but better weather for outdoor exploration. If you prefer fewer visitors and don't mind occasional showers, the rainy season (June to October) presents a budget-friendly option. However, be prepared for humidity and potential disruptions to your plans.
