The vast piece of land, spreading over 200 acres, resembling the shape of Thailand with many original and reproductions of buildings, monuments and statues, was built up under the patronage of Lek Viriyaphant and considered as the largest open air museum in the world. It is situated in Samut Prakan province and close to the Crocodile Farm and consists of the beautiful gardens, some of which are depicting Thai legends.
The replicas in the ancient city have been constructed with the support of professionals of the national museum in order to make sure that their historical accuracy would be shown as it is. Also some buildings are life-size models of existing and former sites, and the others are one-third scale. Muang Boran has sculptures from the Thai legend, "the Ramakien" which demonstrates the Royal Barge procession, and a model Thai village in which craftsmen have used ceramics, paper umbrellas and lacquer items as building materials.
The floating market in the ancient city is another major part of the attraction which has been filled with water. In this lake there are flocks of large fish that can be fed with local food. And nay one can feast the tasty food including traditional Thai food according to his or her selection in the floating restaurant. Also we can see small shops selling Thai handicrafts and souvenirs to the tourists which are not in very higher prices. The most admirable fact is that the entrance fee is just 300 THB which is a very reasonable amount comparing to what can be gained out of it and every visitor gets free use of a bicycle during the open time from 8am to 5pm in order to explore the whole area.
Also to mention some of the other outstanding works in this legendary city, the former Grand Palace of Ayutthaya can be mentioned. But it was ruined by the Burmese during the invasion in 1767. And Phimai Sanctuary also can be mentioned as one of the key attractions within the ancient city. The common factor of these constructions is that the plan and ornaments of the structure have been affected by their real historical ruins and the relevant documents in order to keep its original forms.
And another important fact for those prefer to have a long stay a number of Bangkok service apartments such as Royal President are located near by the Muang Boran that welcomes the visitors offering superior level facilities with reasonable charging.
