Ancient Siam park is in the shape of Thailand, and has models (often to a similar size as the originals) for most of the country's landmarks and historical sites. It's a great way for tourists who haven't the time to travel the whole of Thailand to get a taste of what the kingdom has to offer.
How to get to Ancient Siam?
I've been there twice, drove the first time, and the second time we took the BTS to the final station on the Sukhumvit line. From there a taxi for the final 14km will be quite cheap, this is a far better option than driving along Sukhumvit like I did the first time. Just tell the driver to go to 'Mueang Boran'. It's about 14km down on the left hand side.
Ancient Siam Admission: 500b for Johnny Foreigner. Though I paid the Thai price of 200b as I had my Thai Driving License with me.
There's a free tramcar that can take you around and stops off at various temples and sites, which is good, and we did it the first time. But the better option is to rent out a golf buggy which is a lot of fun. We did this the second time when I had some family with us. I think it was about 300b an hour. IIRC we were out there 2 1/2 hours and it cost 750b for that time.
