Ancient Siam - also known as Ancient City is a park in south Bangkok constructed under the patronage of Lek Viriyaphant and spreading over 200 acres in the shape of Thailand.

The founder's original idea was to create a golf course with miniatures of Thailand's historically significant structures spread around the course. During his research he found most structures being severely damaged over time and decided instead of creating new miniatures to save the original structures when possible or re-creating them full size or scaled down.

Ancient Siam is dubbed as the world's largest outdoor museum. The grounds of Ancient Siam correspond roughly to the shape of the Kingdom, with each of the monuments lying at their correct places geographically. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are scaled down.

This photograph is taken at Pavilion of the Enlightened. The Ancient city is so big you actually need a full day to cover everything, unfortunately we only had 2 hrs left when we visited this area in the evening. It is a panorama shot of 20 images.
