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!

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.

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 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.

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.!!!

Ancient City Bangkok Tickets | The World’s Largest Private Outdoor Museum

Step into a giant history book outside Bangkok, at the Ancient City, also known as Ancient Siam or the Muang Boran Museum. Opened in 1972, this massive 320-hectare outdoor park shaped like Thailand is the world’s largest outdoor museum. The brainchild of Lek Viriyaphant, it started as a golf course idea but turned into a showcase of Thailand's history. The best part? The park is shaped just like Thailand, and many buildings are where they'd be in real life. If you haven’t got the time to cover all of Thailand, this is the place to see it all.

Top things to do in Ancient City Bangkok

Best Time to Visit Ancient City Bangkok

Best Time of Day

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. 

Best Time of Week

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. 

Best Time of Year

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.

Address: 296/1 Moo7 Sukhumvit Road, Bangpoomai, Amphoe Samut Prakan. Samut Prakan Province 10280. Find on Maps

By MRT (purple line)

Take the MRT to Kheha Station. This is the closest station to the Ancient City. You can take a songthaew (local pick-up truck) or taxi from here.

By bus

Take bus number 511 from Democracy Monument. This bus goes towards Pai Na Fam Chon Khe, which is a few kilometers from the Ancient City. Take a taxi or songthaew to reach the museum from there. 

By car

From Democracy Monument, head towards Rama IV Road, then merge onto the expressway. Exit at Bang Na Expressway, follow Sukhumvit Road and turn onto Bang Na-Trat Road to reach the Ancient City. Be prepared for Bangkok traffic.
