【Travel around the 🌍world】Bangkok, Thailand🇹🇭. Ayutthaya Ancient City

Siam Ancient City เมืองโบราณ The Ancient City The ancient city of Ayutthaya: "A millennium of Ayutthaya, a day in the ancient city." . The ancient city of Ayutthaya is located in the suburbs of Bangkok and is a large outdoor cultural heritage museum. Mr. Lek Viriyahphant, a Thai Chinese, built it in 1963 to protect, learn, promote and inherit the civilization of Ayutthaya. With the approval and support of King Rama IX of Thailand, it was officially opened to the public on February 11, 1972, with the presence of King Rama IX of Thailand and Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. . The 72 provinces of the ancient city of Ayutthaya are a miniature of the ancient capital of Thailand, and also the largest open-air museum in the world! Hundreds of important scenic spots and historical sites from all over Thailand have been rebuilt here in proportions ranging from 70% to 100%. The ancient city is not a tourist attraction built for show, but the entire park is built in the shape of Thailand's territory, and all the attractions are distributed according to the geographical location of southern, central, northeastern and northern Thailand. . Various gardens, palaces, and ancient temples are all built exceptionally beautiful. Some are built according to the original ancient sites, some are built with reference to history, and some are even directly relocated from the original site! Since its construction in 1963, it has been continuously expanding. By looking at the details of these buildings, you will know that the ancient city of Siam is not just a name. Many Thai dramas come here for filming, and the most well-known one is "Love Destiny", where you can find many familiar scenes. There are also places in the ancient city where you can rent Thai costumes. Dress up in Thai costumes and take a photo in the ancient city for an authentic Thai experience. . Ayutthaya Ancient City covers an area of over 200 acres, with 121 attractions currently open in the park. It may take a whole day to visit all of them! Compared to bustling Bangkok, Ayutthaya Ancient City is noticeably quiet, to the point where "you could hear a pin drop" could be used to describe it. Due to its remote location, tourism is not very high, and besides the staff, only bustling tourists come here. As someone who doesn't like crowds, I am very satisfied with this and can take quiet photos here! . The park is full of magnificent palaces that seem almost unreal, and the buildings are full of Thai characteristics. There are popular attractions that we are familiar with, as well as many Thai ancient sites that are ancient and charming. These buildings can not only be viewed from afar, but also entered at will! The meticulously decorated buildings are not just for show! Because the park is very large and there are many attractions, we spent almost 5 hours cycling and taking photos, and we could only barely visit a few of the more famous areas... . This ancient city of Siam was created by the Chinese-Thai tycoon Lek Viriyaphant. He spent more than ten years conducting thorough investigations, research, and depictions throughout Thailand with experts. Through years of field surveys, he successfully transformed the ancient city of Siam into a large-scale museum that can be studied for its history! Not only that, he also established the Truth Temple in Pattaya (The Sanctuary of Truth), as well as the Erawan Museum not far from the ancient city of Siam. Although Mr. Lek Viriyaphant has passed away for many years, his contribution to Thai culture is worthy of admiration!
