Ancient Siam of 76 Provinces - Thailand's Miniature Park

I noticed this itinerary a few years ago but never really paid attention to it! This time, since I've almost visited every corner of Bangkok and its suburbs, I didn't know where else to go and that's when this attraction caught my eye. Initially, I wasn't optimistic about it, but after seeing everyone's shared strategies, I became interested. The key point is that purchasing tickets online in advance, which includes an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch, is really affordable. All experiences tell me that it's essential to buy tickets in advance, as it's more expensive on-site! Bangkok was formerly known as Siam, so the Ancient Siam of 76 Provinces is sometimes referred to as "Ancient Bangkok of 76 Provinces" online. This place is essentially Thailand's version of a miniature park... It covers a vast area, and I discovered during my visit that some parts are still under development! Since I pre-purchased my tickets on a platform, I needed to exchange them at the counter upon entering the park. While exchanging the tickets, the staff provided a map for reference and also gave suggestions (advising which spots are must-visit/photo spots). There were many counter staff, offering services in English, Chinese, and Thai. While exchanging tickets, they also asked if I needed to rent a golf cart (how long in advance), which required a deposit, and the fee would be deducted upon return! The park is really too vast to explore on foot alone; it would probably take a whole day to walk through. I naively thought one hour would suffice, but it was beyond our expectations... We quickly visited each spot, focusing on the highlights, and still spent two hours... I must say, this place is really worth a good visit, thumbs up! If you have plenty of time, I highly recommend at least spending half a day or a full day for a leisurely tour; it would be very appropriate! Although the attractions in each area are just scaled-down versions, they are not taken lightly and are seriously focused on the characteristics of the attractions. Each spot is very interesting, and if you don't carefully select the sections you want to see, it's not an exaggeration to spend a whole day there~ The buffet lunch was beyond words! Just entering the restaurant's main entrance, there was a welcoming dance (performing traditional Thai dance), allowing you to enjoy the food while also experiencing traditional dance, a great pleasure! Additionally, there were many meal options, including desserts, soups, rice dishes, kway teow, noodles... everything you can think of in Thai cuisine... Outside the restaurant, there were traditional boat noodles and freshly fried banana desserts, which were really filling~ In fact, there are many small stalls in the park. We stopped and bought a Thai milk tea (THB 30), which was not too expensive and delicious~ Choosing the buffet was for convenience, to have air conditioning under the hot sun, and to enjoy live music and dance performances, which was really great! I unexpectedly discovered that the only downside to this attraction is its remote location, but now with the metro so developed and taxi fares in Thailand so cheap, even taking the metro to the last station and then a taxi is quite convenient! Don't underestimate this affordable attraction~ It's really worth a visit! Highly recommended!!!
