Daily Photos from Thailand
Thursday 3rd September, 2009 at 22:24:04| Words: 137 words | Category: Travel Photos
The Ancient Siam, or Muang Boran in Thai, is like an open book of history and an open door to the real Thailand. Here you will find numerous reproductions of palace halls, temples, stupas, stone sanctuaries and traditional houses. You can also visit several reconstructed historical buildings, authenticated communities with their inhabitants doing their daily chores and sample villages from all regions of the country. If you don't have your own car, you can rent bicycles for 50 baht, golf carts for 200-500 baht or join a tram tour for 80 baht. Some people walk around the park but it is really too big and too hot to go on foot. There are places to buy drinks around the park. A good place to eat are the restaurants at the floating market area.

On an island on the Chao Phraya River in Samut Prakan, there is a 100 year old fortress called Phi Sua Samut Fort. It was built in order to protect the approach to Bangkok which is further upriver.
