Unfortunately our holiday in Thailand was not long enough to allow us to travel all over the country, so we decided to explore Bangkok's Ancient City, the world's biggest open-air theme park, which is like an open book of Thai history and architecture. Even the park itself is shaped to the outline of Thailand and hosts numerous reproductions of
temples,
stupas,
monuments,
statues and
palaces from all over the country.
Inside the park we could also visit several traditional wooden houses and sample villages from all regions of Thailand, some of them even on water, recalling Thailand's past when daily life took place mainly along the canals:
This park, dedicated to preserve the cultural heritage of the country with its collection of famous ruins and sites, did a great job in giving us a glimpse of what Thailand used to look like. It seemed as if we did a journey throughout the entire Thai Kingdom in only a few hours.
