Ancient Siam Museum

Even the ground of the museum is shaped like the outline of Thailand. You will find some of the replicas of grand places.
An Instagram page by the name National Archaeology shared an aerial photograph of Ancient Siam on Instagram.
Background of the Museum:
The staggeringly photogenic museum exists as a result of the idea, dreams, and hardship of Mr. Lek Viriyahun who wanted to showcase the ethereal beauty of antiques and ancient architecture of Thailand. While working on the project, the Thai businessman found that many ancient sites have been eroded. Therefore, he developed a better plan and created the concept of this Ancient city, and the museum was completed in 1963. Today it is an open-air museum and regarded as a quiet place to escape the city.
Visiting Hours:
The museum opens every day from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and includes beautiful gardens and scenic beauty. The tickets can be a little expensive, but you can book them 24 hours in advance online to get a discount. There are so many options available like the free bike, tram, or even golf cart to get around with.
