When I saw the Erawan Museum in Thailand, I was speechless — the massive three-headed elephant was breathtaking, and walking inside felt like stepping into a sacred, otherworldly place full of color, history, and peace

A Journey Through Thailand in One Place! We visited the Ancient City (Muang Boran) in Bangkok and had an unforgettable experience. The park is beautifully laid out with impressive replicas of Thailand’s historical landmarks, temples, and cultural sites. It truly felt like traveling across the entire country in just one day! The entrance fee was 580 baht, which already includes a free buffet, such a great deal! We also rented a golf cart, which was 300 baht for 4 people for the first hour, and 500 baht for 6 people. If you stay longer, you just add another 100-200 for the next hour. The place is peaceful and well-maintained, with lots of beautiful spots for photos. The staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend visiting and taking your time to explore, renting a bike or golf cart makes it even more enjoyable. This place is a must-visit for history lovers and anyone interested in Thai culture!
