MOCA Bangkok, or the Museum of Contemporary Art, is a modern space showcasing an extensive collection of traditional and contemporary Thai art. The museum was established through the private collection of businessman Boonchai Bencharongkul, featuring works by renowned Thai artists as well as emerging talents. In addition to its impressive art displays, MOCA Bangkok also houses a comprehensive collection of Thai banknotes.
Fantastically cool museum. I can't say I'm an art fan, but I really enjoyed this museum. A magnificent collection of paintings in completely different styles and colors is spread over several floors. Among the paintings there are small portraits in the style of minimalism, and there are also huge paintings with a lot of details. The museum itself looks very cool, both outside and inside. There is also a small coffee shop and a souvenir shop on the territory of the museum. The entrance ticket cost 250 baht. If you want to see a different Bangkok, then you should definitely visit this place.

A art museum. A contemporary Thai art, there are a bit of European art.
It is very good museum. The ticket is not expensive and you can take a picture inside just without flash. The ticket can be a discount for the cafe on the G floor, and there is also have a give shop too. Easy to go there it very close to sky train or you can drive there with a lot of parking there.

The Museum of Modern Art in Bangkok is really cool! The building itself is very beautiful and modern, with a café and smoking area on the premises. It is located far from the center of Bangkok, but is easily accessible by public transport.
The museum has 5 floors, each of which presents different directions in modern and traditional art. Each floor has its own unique concept and theme, ranging from ancient masks to surrealist works. In addition, the museum provides interactive zones and numerous sculptures.
It's impossible to see everything in one visit, so I recommend planning several trips. It took me 3 hours for a quick overview. I recommend visiting the museum to anyone who loves art or wants to learn more about Thai artists. It's a great place to spend your time and get new impressions, but I would recommend the age limit to be 16+ as there is a lot of nudity.

I am honestly not sure what to say about this museum. There are a lot of local students with obsession of taking pictures with the art and not seeing the art itself (oh yeah they bring photographer with them to take pictures of them sitting in the gallery). There are mostly Southeast Asian art, and the theme ranging from religious artist (Buddhism & Hinduism) to some thai local theme. I really wish that there are more explanation on the art, so the visitors (especially foreigners) can understand more about the context of the art itself.

Really worth the time and money to get here. I walked for over 1 hours under 12 A.M sun but to admire such varieties of arts and historic treasures was so worth-it.
There are 5 floors in which there are arts in every corners. I mean it. Please don't miss a spot of this museum, there are things that will surprise you. There are arts at the entrance of the WC, there are some at the end of a dark corner, there are some at the bottom display...
There is a picture which I attached, some one put a condom in the dog's statue mouth, funny and I don't know if it's the artist's intention LOL

A great modern museum, a bit far from the city centre, but on the way here (if you take a light green line) you can walk through the University campus and see the life of local students.
6 floors of local and international, permanent and temporary collections. Allocate around 2 hours to enjoy it properly.

Sensational museum in Bangkok.
Over five floors where you can wander around for hours. The play of light due to the architecture is superb.
Recommend that you arrive early so you can experience before the crowds arrive.
There are phone charging stations available.
Reasonably priced cafe on the ground floor to sit when you need a break before heading back in for more.
Truly a magical experience for 3-4 hours.

Spent three hours here (Jan 2022) and loved it! There are five floors of beautiful, mind-blowing art ...and great architecture too.
We parked in garage below museum. You have to drive around building to enter parking garage...then walk down a long dramatic hallway back to front of building to enter museum. There was a security guy to help guide us upon entering off main street.
Highly recommend checking out The MOCA Bangkok. 👍😁

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) is a worthwhile destination for contemporary art lovers. With its diverse collection, thought-provoking exhibitions, educational programs, beautiful architecture, visitor-friendly facilities, and status as a cultural hub, MoCA provides a valuable experience for the price. A visit to MoCA is not just an opportunity to appreciate art but also a chance to expand horizons and connect with the ever-evolving world of contemporary art.

Such a beautiful art museum.
There was 5 floors of art altogether with some of the exhibition being more interactive! It was really interesting to see such fine art all in one place.
I did however like how many people were taking selfies there - but that is nothing to do with the exhibits!

Impressive collection of art done by various contemporary artists. There are 5 floors to explore, and the space is well lit and easy to navigate. Free entry for seniors of about 60 years old, applies to foreigners too. Suggest going there by grab as it is about 40 minutes from Bangkok.

It will take at least 1 hour ~ 2 hours for everyone to go through this museum.
Beatiful arts are not just on the wall, it can be anywhere in the Museum and can be felt by eyes, ears, nose or physical touch.
I mean: the ambience music, the lightning from each windows or rooftop of the building, the printed arts or crafted one...
All of these things combine made my whole experience was so great or I could say: the best.

Heaps of fun! Great paintings, the only thing that didn’t impress was the gift shop. I wanted postcards of all those paintings I loved. But only two had postcards in the shop. There must have been one hundred paintings I loved, and galleries must catalog what goes in an out professionally so there would be great photos of these works of art. All I wanted to do was buy them to gift friends in Australia.
Anyway totally recommend still for the experience!!!

They have 5 floors total with many interesting things. Also they have a coffee shop at the ground floor. The staff were nice & helpful, when we left by the taxi, the taxi driver was not good at English, so the staff write down the license plate of that taxi, they give me their business card & told me that if I need any help to communicate, I can call them for translation. Highly recommend for art's lovers

I liked it very much, I enjoyed it and the building is a nice piece of architecture, it is a little far away but I think it’s worth it. Beware of traffic, go early and leave before they close. The restaurant caffe shop inside was good as well and I think prices are reasonable.

I just had a blast at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Bangkok.
First off, this place is massive. I mean, seriously, it's like a maze of creativity. You'll wander through floor after floor of artworks.
They've got this crazy mix of paintings, sculptures, and installations. Some stuff left me scratching my head, but that's what makes it so interesting.
The best part? They're not afraid to push boundaries. You'll find stuff here that's quirky, thought-provoking, and sometimes just downright weird. It's like stepping into a whole new universe.
And don't even get me started on the colors! It's like someone threw a rainbow and a paint factory into a blender and went wild.
So, when you're looking to have your mind blown, hit up MOCA in Bangkok. You'll leave with a whole new appreciation for the wild world of contemporary art.

Had a really nice visit here.
The museum consist of 4 floors with different curated artists’ style. They also provide paid and special exhibition if you are interested. The option is available when you bought the ticket in the ticketing desk.
They also accept student card overseas, so my sister got discounted price since she’s a student.
What I like from this museum is how they created a story that flows for its curated collection. They also emphasise each artists’ style by giving them the coloured background.
If you love to be in a temporary museum and enjoying arts, this certainly the right place for you. Although I have to admit that the collection of “contemporary” art is still less compared to TATE London.

Really worth visiting. Near DMK airport and you will need to take a taxi to get there. On the way back, staff will call a metered taxi for you. THB 200 to Thong Lor.
Nice contemporary building with modern Thai art. Not everything to my taste but definitely interesting which sometimes mimics western art but more often doesn’t. Some international art too but I was less taken.
I spent about 3 hours there including lunch. The cafe has nothing special. Japanese and some western food. I doubt anything is cooked on the premises. The shop is good. Expensive but quality stuff.

Stunning museum, I would say the most interesting one in Bangkok city. Lovely collections, well organized and displayed in large, will lit rooms. On the minus is the location, way too far away from the city centre, and the lack of variety in the gift shop.

Cool and cozy museum. It's not too big, not very small, so you can see all the exhibitions and pictures in one day.
There are 5 floors, every is them is dedicated to certain topic, all if them look stylish and fancy.
There is also cafe with deserts, drinks and classical food as well (meet with rice and etc) affordable prices and cozy museum shop (not so affordable to be honest).
So I definitely recommend to visit

Very nice modern art museum. Five floors of high quality modern artworks, very versatile. The building itself is also very beautiful, wity a nice little courtyard and a cafe.
It might be worth bringing a scarf or a jumper as the temperature was quite cold.
The museum was not busy at all. We spent around 2 hours there.
It's close to the Don Mueang airport, might get a good stop on the way to the airport, especially that they have a storage room for your bags.
The New Lumpinee Boxing Stadium is a must-visit landmark in Bangkok for fans of Muay Thai, the national sport of Thailand. With a capacity of 9,500 spectators and state-of-the-art facilities, it's an iconic venue located in the city's Pathum Wan district. The official games are held here, offering intense and thrilling matches featuring some of the best fighters in the world.
My wife and I had a great time…it was our first time watching Muay Thai live and it didn’t disappoint despite the low turnout (likely due to the pandemic). We sat ringside with other foreigners and were able to grab drinks right outside the stadium.
Nathan Bachmann — Google review
I love One Championship and I like the location of this stadium. However…based on my experience coming here to watch the matches.. Lumpini can still improve so much more.
1. Sometime they allow shenanigans to come in here with loud horns and drums. These people are very disrespectful and ruin the experience for everyone else. Lumpini should control this situation… after all, we all pay money to watch high quality sports. The group of people we encountered was Muay Thai fighters from a mid-profile gym in Pattaya named starting with V letter. They were loud, wild and acted nonsense.. I believe the people they came to cheer for actually all lost because of their distracting noises.
2. Lumpini should collaborate way more with One championship. We came to the place at 6.30am to see Rodtang. We are huge fans. We asked them all where we can go see him, none of them were able to give us accurate answer.. and we missed meeting him despite being there on time. He was located at the back side of the stadium but no one could guide us there.
3. People vape during the fights!! It’s not even legalized to be used here in Thailand… lumpini needs to check more

Very interesting place, worth visiting. Far away from the city centre so you have to organize a transport. After the fights are finished there are taxis waiting outside however some drivers refuse to use the meters (nothing new in Bangkok). Uber operates here so this is a safe option. Tickets - don't buy tickets outside the stadium - only online or at the ticket office (some guys outside show you some documents that they work at the stadium and they can sell you a ticket... ignore them and go straight to official selling points). I bought the most expensive ones next to the ring... it's good to watch the fights so close but next time I will go with the cheaper options as from the stands you have really good view and lines don't disturb the view as they do when you sit below them.

My husband and I watched the Muay Thai match in Lumpini Stadium on a Saturday night! Surprisingly the stadium was pretty empty. I don’t know anything about Muay Thai but it was really nice experience:
They play live traditional Thai music during the match.
The host speaks English and Thai alternately so it was easy to follow even for non Thai speakers.
Such a good experience!!

Had an amazing evening. Nearly all of the Muay Thai fights we saw were of the highest technical quality and intensity. Very professional.
Everything was well-organised too. The stadium is quite far away from the city centre but easily reached by public transport. Food and beverage options aplenty outside. Every last seat in the house was filled so queue was long but went pretty quickly. If you’re on the early side you can score great seats also in E-section—when you manage to sit a bit in the middle they’re just as good as the selected seats for which you pay double. Great views of the ring, feels really close. The crowd was amazing; very lively, zero rowdiness.
Clean bathrooms, easily accessible before and during the fight. It can be a bit cold inside, so bring a sweater.
Fred & Truus van Buuren — Google review
It's a relatively small arena. Make sure to get section B or C seats. Otherwise, you'll be sitting on a concrete tier seating. Food trucks out front are always fun! No outside food or drink when entering stadium. Also, it's very dark in the stairwells. Have your cell phone flashlight 🔦 on! Once inside the seating area, your alcoholic drink option is Chang beer only. At least, that's what it was when I was there.
The crowd is very interactive while a fight is ongoing! Very good experience. Although, you have to go all the way back to the entrance to use the restrooms. 🙄

I had the pleasure of visiting the New Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok to witness the One Championship card matches, and it was an incredible experience. The stadium was impressive, with a capacity of over 5,000 people and state-of-the-art facilities.
The fights were intense and thrilling, with some of the best fighters in the world showcasing their skills. The main event of the night was between two highly skilled fighters, and the atmosphere in the stadium was electric as they battled it out in the ring.
In the end, the results of the One Championship card matches on Saturday, February 25, 2023 were as follows:
Main Event: Champion vs. Champion (World Title Bout) - Winner: FABRICIO ANDRADE
Co-Main Event: Featherweight Muay Thai world championship - Winner: TAWANCHAI PK. SAENCHAI
Women's catchweight submission - Winner: DANIELLE KELLY
The New Lumpinee Boxing Stadium provided a fantastic setting for the fights, with great views from every seat and a lively atmosphere that added to the excitement of the matches.
Overall, I highly recommend visiting the New Lumpinee Boxing Stadium to witness some of the best fighters in the world battle it out in the ring. With top-notch facilities and exciting matches, it is an experience that any fight fan won't want to miss.

6 Ram Inthra Rd, Anusawari, Bang Khen, Bangkok 10220, Thailand
The Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo is a large zoo that features daring crocodile shows, elephant demonstrations, and animal photo ops. There are over 100,000 crocodiles of various species at the zoo, making it one of the largest in the world. Daily live shows feature trained experts performing fascinating tricks with crocs and elephants. Visitors can also feed crocodiles at enclosures scattered throughout the zoo.
Though this place is a bit rundown compared to the last time I was here 7 years ago, it was still a great place to take my kids to see and even interact with animals.
Foreigners/farang prices to enter are 350 baht for an adult and 250 baht for children. Not sure how much Thai citizens pay but I'm sure its significantly less.
There are baby and adult tigers and monkeys you can hold/feed and take pictures with. My kids fed and took pics with a juvenile tiger and it cost me 200 baht for the set up and the printed pic. They also allow you to take as many pictures with your cell phone as you'd like.
The crocodile wrestling show and elephant show are huge highlights to this park. It's crazy how much implied risk these men take to handle the crocodiles! You can take pics with the crocodiles up close for 200 baht which again included picture taking by the park and as many cell phone pics as you'd like. You can also ride elephants here though the rode is very short (5 minutes maybe?). Adults are 50 baht and children 30 baht. The "driver" stops frequently to allow for pictures along the way which is cool. Just remember to tip him at least 20 baht for his trouble.
There are a bunch of snack stands around the park, but hidden in the middle of the park in a building with no signage is the Hard Croc Cafe. You can eat crocodile in a variety of ways...but my kids and I weren't adventurous enough to do so. We stuck to the regular Thai fare.
The souvenir shop is where you can buy a variety of croc skin or body part items. Wallets, bags, croc head keychains, even taxidermied crocs, can be purchased here. Before you do so please make sure that you are legally able to do so in your home country.

Never expected to come here, not s big fan of zoo, but this place need all the help you can, is a reality there be zoo as much there be curiosity, i never seen animals so close, they look fake.
Tigers, monkeys, and the famous crocodiles show, is worth coming, just make sure to wrap 50 baht with some coins to help this people out, they doing all they can.
Westernes might not get this, but chinese will, there many sings in chinese and some people can speak chinese, so you can come and enjoy, go ride elephant give tip to the elephant too, they need eat a lot, so do the people who take care of them, and i don't see them punishing the beast so is okay. Help this place get better so it grows into a nice place for animals and people.
Make sure you keep your grab driver, or take the blue bus out of here, because taxi are few and far bettewn.

It's an interesting place with a lot of crocodiles. You can see here a cool Crocodile show and so-so elephant show. A good thing about the elephant show is you can take pictures with the elephants. There also a lot of monkies, a few tigers, sheep... It's a pretty old place and it's not very attractive. But there aren't a lot of people and I really like it.

The Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo is a crocodile zoo in Samut Prakan Province, Thailand. The park claims to hold the world's largest crocodile in captivity, named Yai, measuring 6 m and weighing 1,114 kg. Yai is one among over 100,000 crocodiles at the farm. The world’s largest crocodile zoo is located 10 kilometres from Bangkok and is dedicated to the education and preservation of animals, especially crocodiles. At the Farm you can also see elephants, tigers, lions, monkeys, horses and hippos. There are daily crocodile shows where performers can be seen doing tricks like putting their heads and arms inside the crocodile’s mouth. You can also enjoy Elephant shows as they walk on tight ropes, ride skateboards and dance.
I was very disappointed in the apparent low quality of care the animals reviewed. It has been a year since I've been so hopefully it has improved.
The Ancient City, also known as Muang Boran in Thai, is a vast outdoor museum that spans 240 acres and is designed to resemble the shape of Thailand. It features over 100 miniature replicas of famous Thai buildings and sites, including temples, palaces, pavilions, and stupas. These replicas are meticulously placed in geographic precision to their real counterparts. The museum offers visitors the opportunity to explore historical sites up close and gain insights into Thai history through these accurate representations.
This is certainly a must for anyone visiting or living in Thailand. The Ancient City is the largest outdoor museum in the world, preserving Siamese true heritage. The Ancient City allows both foreign and Thai nationals to appreciate the history of Thailand. There are 121 sites, some are reconstructed on a scale of about 1 in 3 while others are as big as the original. One can hire a bicycle, an electric bike or even a golf cart to travel around the plus/minus 200 acres. If you have your own car, you can enter the city at a fee.

Massive museum park with stunning architecture! Make sure to set aside a whole day if you want to get the full experience. The self-drive mini-cart is the best way to get around IMO. There are also bikes for rent if you want to burn calories while exploring the park. The guided tours are great but only stop at a few locations. Overall, one of the best experiences in Bangkok for architecture and history buffs. As a bonus, You will also get to see some local wildlife around the park.

Lovely experience. The temples and shrines are beautifully done to the smallest level of detail. I recommend renting a buggy and each person having a personal umbrella to cover from the sun. Don't forget your sun block and drink plenty of water. Took us a good 1 hour to drive through the entire park and made around 3-4 stops to experience the temple. You can easily spend half a day there but the heat was unforgiving at the time.

Although the ticket is a bit expensive, it’s worth to go.
We drove in the place by adding 400b more for the car. It’s convenient and nice. There are also other choices like golf cab or bike which are also good. We stayed there for about 4 hours but definitely can be longer if you are not tired.
The maintenance is quite good. So you can really enjoy some good views. Snack counters and toilets are sufficient. Toilets are clean and with proper papers.
Overall, it’s a good experience.

Very big and around 10km in total. You can easily spend whole day here if you want to explore and visit all the attractions.
Important:
1.Bring extra clothes as you will sweat a lot (free sauna).
2.Bring extra socks also as you need to remove your shoes/slippers when you enter the temples.
3.Take the golf car not the bike because it’s very hot and sunny, or else you will get grilled easily.
4. Bring hat,cap,umbrella and folding fans to protect yourself from the super hot weather.
5.Buy tickets online as it is way cheaper.
You can buy food and water inside so no worries.
Better to get there earlier so you will enjoy and no photo bombers.
Meriam Dayao — Google review
One of the largest outdoor museums in the world, constructed by Lek Viriyaphant. The site is set over a large area and features some beautiful reproductions of some of Thailand’s iconic and mythical buildings that you are free to explore at your leisure.
It takes around 2 hours to traverse the park by golf cart, which I highly recommend for shade and comfort as it makes the experience more enjoyable and offers relief from the sun.
Quick tip: book your tickets online as it is half price. They will.l not always inform you of this when purchasing tickets on the door. We bought them online while at the park gate and they were available immediately.

Great halfway trip from Bangkok. Very easy to reach. Take the green line to Keha and jump on one of the pick-up taxis waiting at the station (they are marked with a 36 on the roof). The ride to the Ancient City costs 10 Baht. Once at the entrance, tickets are 700 Baht (400 if you have a Thai work permit or driver's license; there seem to be discounted tickets available online as well so that's worth checking out). You can rent an e-bike for 250 Baht (3h, every additional hour costs an extra 100 Baht but 3h is doable even with a coffee break). The park is massive and very well taken care of. Was there on a slightly cloudy Saturday, perfect weather for some sightseeing, still there were very few people in the park. There are small coffee shops and toilets at every corner, super convenient. Lots of great photo stops, history and Thai culture to be explored. Cruising around on an e-bike is great fun. There's a lot to see and only two of the sites were inaccessible due to maintenance work. Once you're done, bring back the scooter and cross the main street via foot bridge on your left so you can wave down one of the pick-up taxis (again, 10 Baht, marked with a 36 on the roof). A great and fun getaway from the city!

The park area is very large, so I recommend taking a golf cart to move around it. We took many beautiful photos. However, it seemed to us that everything looked very artificial and a little toy-like. The park's disadvantage is the lack of greenery and the fact that all buildings are made hastily from cheap materials. Also, many objects are under reconstruction. We spent 3 hours in the park and didn't see everything. We were advised to book tickets in advance to get a discount on the price.
Despite some drawbacks, Ancient Siam is a great place for photo shoots. We took many beautiful photos and enjoyed visiting the park. If you are looking for a place for bright and memorable photos, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Amazing place!
You can learn a lot of most of the wonders of Thailand in just one Park and very very affordable price (even if you buy the package including a nice Thai buffet lunch). Be aware to come early since it will take you long to see all the the scenes in this park (more or less 10 km). You can find gardens, statues, temples, recreations of monumental buildings, real elephants and other animals, restaurants, a museum, and even a small Thai farm-village.

Do not miss this place. Its about an hour away from the city centre but can travel easily by the hreen line metro and shuttle no 36. This place has more than 100 monuments, from across Thailand. Some are conceptual as well. We didn't take any golf car or bus, but would recommend it, especially if you are visiting during the summer time. However, not taking the bus would mean more time at every site and no rush. There's also a restaurant inside, which serves buffet. For a better deal, buy your tickets in advance on Klook and its better to include the buffet. The place is huge so even if there are visitors, there's no crowd.

Absolutely enjoyed it. Get the choice to rent a bicycle or a driver at the entrance. The service is already included in the ticket admission. We went for the bikes as we want to be more flexible when it comes to stopping and taking it in as opposed to having to be considered for other people. Also, it was a good exercise and the breeze was very enjoyable. The park itself is huge! So many beautiful things to see. Pagodas, temples, statues, gardens, ruins, boats, etc. The lost goes on and on. We were the only ones in the massive park when we arrived at around 10:30am. Nobody, but workers that helped maintaining the place, did we meet, which kind of felt like a VIP experience but on the downside, the park and the people are depending on the tickets so we hope that there will be a surge of tourists or more locals soon. COVID really made it a lonely experience since restaurants towards the center or the other end of the park were not even operating. The people deserve to be imbursed for their hard work and need it more than ever now!

The park is huge and the buildings are dizzying. The scenic spot provides golf carts, electric motorcycles, bicycles, and of course you can drive your own car. Personal recommendation, if there are few people, I recommend electric motorcycles, and if there are many people, choose golf carts. The entire scenic spot is still under construction, and each building is imitated very realistically. Every building wants to stay in the camera, which is suitable for playing all day. If there are some scenic spots in the park, you can check in here, and the effect is almost the same.

Perfect place to explore Thai culture. Accessible by BTS. I recommend borrowing a traditional costume (directly in the park) and then your pictures will be absolutely awesome. We had an amazing half day there. Park offers a lot of visitor facilities, and you don't need to bring anything with you.
Zdenek — Google review
Quite touristy, many of the temples are not originals and are either replicas or built with some "creative liberty". A very fun place to go and ride around, but expect tourist fun, not an authentic Thai experience.
Definitely get your tickets off of klook! It's much cheaper. And get a golf cart if you can, not many of the temples are worth going in but it's very fun to ride around the outside. The complex is huge so it would be very difficult to walk. Fun, but manage your expectations.

Ancient City has been regarded as one of the largest open-air museums in the world. Visitors can see many significant places in Thailand, for example, castles, palaces, temples, and sculptures. Some are models, but some are the originals that were taken from certain places. The exhibitions in the Ancient City are divided according to regions for visitors to enjoy and appreciate the core of the multi-faceted culture. The experience gives the impression of traveling the whole country within a day.
Norman Rabaýa — Google review
This place was awesome! We did not have enough time in 2 hours to go through the whole city. If you have the whole day, you could skip the golf cart rental and walk the entire place. If you need to finish in a certain amount of time, then rent a cart and park on the areas that are designated for the carts and walk portions of the city or just drive through and stop at the main sights. Please note that there are a good number of places that require shoes off to enter and some areas where no photos can be taken.

It's a really cool place! I wouldn't add it to the main attraction list when I am short of time in Thailand. It's more of a nice to have type of thing.A variety of temple representation from across Thailand. Make sure you buy your tickets online to save some money. The golf cart makes it even better it adds so much more to the experience. You can also find elephanta there.I think there are only 4-5 sightings worth visiting the rest you can drive past them. I strongly feel that the exhibitions themselves need to be maintained a bit more thoroughly. The rest of the park is really clean and well maintained. The staff is great and really helpful. Had a great time there.

We absolutely loved this place. 10/10 experience. So many beautiful places and def check out the all you can eat buffet.
Loads of cute little souvenir shops!
If you go, def get the golf cart and enjoy riding around the grounds of the Ancient city.

This is a gorgeously designed and beautifully maintained representation of Thailand. They have segments of native structures and depict different stories across history. A definite must visit if you're in Thailand. Traditional music and food is available throughout. Since the coverage is so much, they have a train tour or you can take in your car or rent a gold buggy/ bicycle to move around. It's better to book the tickets online. When you head to the online booking counter, they hand you a map for easy guidance

This is a very beautiful place. Definitely a tourist trap, but a worthwhile one. Don't make the mistake of thinking the e-bikes would be fun...get a golf cart!!! They do not exchange or refund even after only a few minutes. E-bikes are not comfortable at all!!! We wasted quite a bit of money, but were much happier in the golf cart.
K Parker — Google review
Awesome display of Thai culture. Added benefit we found elephants. We fed the elephants but did not ride. Also bikes and golf carts to get around. So big we could never walk every where 1 day. Also, they are very honest. Made a mistake on my credit card that I did not catch. They actually sent someone to find us to get issue fixed. Not many places would do that. I gave 5 stars for each point made above. The staff and attraction were Awesome. Highly recommend.
Ken — Google review
This attraction ranks among the finest I have experienced. From the architecturally stunning buildings and statues to the serene water features, every aspect is impeccably organized. The staff also contribute to the exceptional quality of the visit. Given the expansive nature of the area, I highly recommend utilizing a golf cart or an electric vehicle for navigation. Attempting to explore this vast space solely on foot could be quite challenging.
Sam S — Google review
Definitely not a place you can easily walk through due to its massive size; transportation is a must! Unfortunately, bringing your own bike inside is not an option, but there are convenient rental choices available. The facility offers numerous restrooms and eat stations scattered throughout, with a buffet entry fee of 280 baht.
The attractions themselves are impressive, providing opportunities for great photos. Additionally, there's an option to rent traditional costumes for a more enjoyable experience. I appreciate their unique approach, as the exhibits are far from being too simple or generic; I’d say that there's a nice touch to every detail. Not every attraction is a must-see, after spending about half your time there, you'll likely grasp the overall concept and can enjoy the beauty from a distance as you drive through. There are certain areas where long clothes are necessary to cover your legs, but you can just borrow it.
4ish hrs is sufficient to explore the main attractions, drive through the entire area and take occasional breaks at the eateries. Might be different for a big family though, which is different from my experience.

Siam Amazing Park, also known as Siam Park City, is a massive amusement and water park located in the Khan Na Yao District of Bangkok, Thailand. It holds the title of being Asia's largest water theme park and offers an array of attractions including wave pools, exhilarating slides like the 7-story-high Speed Slider and the twisting Super Spiral, and even a simulated wave rider at Flowhouse.
We went over the weekend to this Thai version of Disneyland, known by Bangkokian as "Suan Siam", now called "Siam Amazing Park" We love their water park here, I mean really nice with the world's biggest wave pool. Our last time here was one and half year ago. There were many amusement park rides my kids went on and they loved it. And if you are worried about the crowded pool or long line with many people, this is PERFECT TIME TO GO, it is not so many people. CLOSE TO BANGKOK, easy to go and worth money, let's have fun. Last thing, I am amazed by the food at the restaurant and the kiosks around the park. Their tastes are so GOOD and there is one new building with many workshops you can spend time with your kids there or waiting for them at their coffee shop. :) Enjoy.
Supaporn Niphanphaisal — Google review
Probably it was a nice park years ago but now lots of areas and facilities are destroyed and even abandoned. Overall impression that it is not maintained and renovated. Quite some rides are closed (see photo with the map) - probably broken as well. Huge area but not very crowded (we've been on Sunday) - seems like not super popular. We've bought tickets online for 600b at one of the sellers suggested by Google (not park's official site). The same ticket is sold for 1200b at the counter and their site.
On a positive side - the ticket includes a pretty good buffer lunch. Nice area around the wave pool and the "log flume" attraction. Nice illumination at evening time. Nicely looking territory around.
Tetyana Suprunova — Google review
There wasn’t any people at all! I loved it because I didn’t have to wait for a line at all during the whole day apart from some major rides like the big water slide in the water park section of the siam park. Some of the rides were under maintenance but apart from that, they were pretty fun and I highly recommend going on all of them because since it’s a small amusement park, it’s pretty easy to be done with all of them. The water park section also can be done within an hour or two as well and most of the restaurants such as the buffet one is located at the water park section. Remember to bring some swim clothes!

This park has seen way better days. Not crowded but it had lost its gloss. It’s like a park on a Sunday stroll. Price wise is good as it’s really meant for the locals. The water park inside is quite empty too. Some rides are closed. It needs a major revamp. The toilets in the water park are grimy and slimy.

I enjoyed my day here. I bought the all access ticket online in advance for 1000 Baht. I went on a week day and it wasn't too busy. The roller coasters had no queues. The log ride one was the most popular so I had to wait about 20 minutes. The water park section was really nice. The wave pool is like a beach. The slides are pretty fun but can hurt you, definitely listen to instructions and try the small one first. I got some bruises on my back but still had fun. You can't bring your own food or drink in. There's a food area where you get a cash card and pay with that. The choices are OK, not great. Overall I recommend it. This place is entered via Bangkok World which is also quite interesting, but I will review that separately.
Safety tips:
- Listen to the water slide instructions. Hold your hands behind your head or you will hurt your neck.
- For the big slides, if you pick up speed you will get 'air', don't let your hands loose, just trust that you will land on the slide again.
- I recommend taking a deep breath and holding while you go down so you don't get water in your nose.
- For the guys, try to keep your legs together when you hit the water (kinda hits you in the balls haha)
- For the rollercoasters, keep your head pressed against the seat as much as you can to reduce/prevent any sudden neck movements or head hits.
For the park owners - I can feel the joints in the tunnel slides going down, which kinda hurts, see if you can smooth those out more.
Thanks

A Theme Park and Water Park in one place. Absolutely a delightful escape. Not just for kids but also for adults. Beautiful and fun place. Enjoyed the rides, especially the Boomerang - Rollercoaster. Actually tried it 6 times in a row. Should have loved the Vortex - Roller Coaster too, however it was painful on the ear and neck after the ride. Went on a weekday, so there are not much people. No need to wait in a queue. Waterpark is absolutely great. A lot of things to do. Slides, lazy river, fountains and the biggest wave pool in the world is here. Place was clean. They follow health protocol due to covid-19 pandemic. Staff were nice and cool. It's been my 12th times here. Will definitely go back again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My trip was on a rainy day, unfortunately I didn’t enjoy all rides since some of them are closed during the rain and they close them for safety reasons.
But generally, even though its a very old theme park, we enjoyed our day and I recommend this park for couples and families.
-Staff are nice and welcoming
-Prices are very low compared to theme parks around the world.
-Food quality is average and food prices are affordable.

This place has a big variety of rides to enjoy and spend the day. If you are seeking some thrilling rides I would recommend the boomerang and the vortex. If you are going for a calm ride I would highly recommend the observation tower. It has an Air conditioner and it is very relaxing. Overall I enjoyed my time here and highly suggest visiting this park.
Sasha — Google review
The park had 5 attractions (4 of the main ones) closed on the day we went even though nothing was indicated when we booked. We booked the lunch option included which was very disappointing with very low quality food (pasta with ketchup as an example…) The rest was quite fun if you like adrenaline activities. Overall I would rate 3 stars
Mario Assaf — Google review
The place is good but when we went there the best items were out of service. So we couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. So the entry price is too high. And the water park needs more activities.
Harshana Dharmapriya Thumbovila — Google review
Yes, some of the rides are a bit dated, but for the price this is a truly fun place to spend the day. I highly recommend going to the water park during the hotter part of the day because the theme park area can be a bit deadly during the 11 am to 2 pm hours. The rollercoasters and flume rides are a ton of fun and really quite thrilling.
There's a variety of inexpensive food options inside and outside of the park.
Be sure to buy your tickets through one of the online outlets before coming. You will get a substantial discount.

Great play ground for my two kiddies grandson. Even adult can enjoy if they have the brave heart to ride the scary roller coaster and other frightful rides. A fantastic water park. Value for money.
Ban Hoo Chua — Google review
Spent 3 hours in the park today. It was actually fun tho. As a person loves to go amusement park, this is one of the best park recently in Thailand right now (belong with Dreamworld). I rode 6 rides by myself and thad so much fun hehe. The Vortex one was INSANE AND INCREDIBLE, it was faster than it looked on some POV youtube videos. Log Flume was fun also. The food was so cheap and soso, not good but not bad. The carousel at the etrance zone was Amazing view to take some picture there too.Kinda sad that Grand Canyon Express and Africa Adventure closed down and I couldn't experience them. Overall, my MOST FUN DAY EVER. I can't wait to be back there again in the future!!!

Amazing, very fun and exciting. You can stay here all day. Time just slips by while you're having fun. Because of height restrictions, children over ten years old will have more fun. I don't know if anyone has made the same mistake as me. The lockers in the water park can only be switched on and off once after coin-operated, otherwise, they need to vote 20 baht again.

A nice place to spend a day. Some of the attractions were closed for renovation, but still lots of things to do. There is a big pool and a nice water playground for kids.
I recommend buying ticket in klook app in advance. It’s cheaper.

I have to divide my experience into 2 parts, the theme park I'm not a fan since most of the rides are partially malfunctioning or have some minor issues. The major rides were exciting, I recommend boomerang, vortex and plume log. The water park is a blast, my 9 and 11 year old children were having so much fun all day. The buffet in included ticket package that we bought was definitely worth it, delicious and many varieties of freshly made food and endless soda fountain was a blessing in the middle of scorching heat during lunch hour. Overall, all that matters is we as a family had fun and although it took us almost 1 hour taxi ride to get there from Phrom Phong and 2 hours bus ride home back, we would do it again next time we visit Bangkok. There was no crowd at all when we came on Friday.

1. The rides are amazing.
2. There was no locker room.
3. Most of the rides where not working, one of the roller coaster was tested and yet failed very dangerous.
4. Could have been better
Sagar Thawani — Google review
I'm honest guide, The theme park is located far from City so plan accordingly. The park is awesome in both dry and water games.. Some rides was closed.. You know what boomerang dry game and vortex rollor coaster was the one which make you so high and scary.. My tip is to get including lunch while purchasing the ticket which should be inclusion of food.
Hoysala Ragava — Google review
By far the WORST theme park I’ve ever been to. The wait for the log flume said 30 minutes, ended up being 2.5 hours, vortex was 2 hours and both not worth it.
Negatives;
- old and forgotten
- food stands everywhere
- super packed with people
- pools were so full we gave up and left
- slides had 1 hour + wait
- all rides were 1.5 - 2.5 hour waits
- 1000 bhat
- 4 rides were down (no use)
- dirty bathroom
- the rides that were open had half the seats closed
Positives;
- cheap if you don’t by the all day unlimited pass
Conclusion;
If you like queues by all means… felt more like a market than amusement park.

It is quite old and small. The good stuff is that you can play in the water and theme park at the same place. Your can rent the lock inside the water park for a day (unlimited access).

Safari World Bangkok is a popular zoo and entertainment park in the heart of Bangkok, drawing both tourists and locals alike. This expansive 480-acre park, established in 1988, offers an immersive experience into Thailand's diverse wildlife. Divided into two sections - Marine Park and Safari Park - visitors can explore a wide range of animal habitats. The park features safari rides, marine attractions, live feedings, and thrilling stunt shows that cater to both education and entertainment.
Wonderful place to visit for day out. Very refreshing and green. Great maintainance and wonderful animal shows. Great view. Wonderful safari.
Soham Das — Google review
Nice zoo! All animals are energetic and beautiful here. You can see how they care about the animals by creating the most wild-like environment!
Also, the feeding activities are very interesting (but pricey😓). You can feed baby tiger, giraffe, kangaroo, camel, and etc.
Randy Chiu — Google review
It's a great place to spend the day, loaded with a variety of shows and animals. Macaws, a Walrus, Meerkats, Kangaroos, an Owl, Turtle, Pelicans, Flamingos, and more were there. I attended the Orangutan show, Spy Wars, Elephant show, Dolphin show, and Sea Lion show. While the Dolphin show is considered the highlight, I personally preferred the Sea Lion show. Additionally, the Elephant painting was quite interesting to see. I skipped the cowboy show as it got too hot. I would recommend bringing a cap/hat, umbrella, and sunglasses if you're visiting in the hot season. A major drawback here is that they don't allow food or drinks inside; you have to purchase them inside, which is slightly more expensive.
Later, I visited the open zoo adjacent to the park. You can see it when you go to the Giraffe feeding area - carnivores animals are kept in another section bounded with electric fencing. It was nice to see the animals roaming around, but as it was very hot, even the tigers were inside their puddles.

Exploring Safari World in Bangkok, Thailand was a fantastic adventure, and the shows were undeniably a standout feature of my visit. The entertainment options were diverse and thoroughly enjoyable, catering to a wide range of preferences.
The variety of shows, from animal performances to thrilling stunts, kept me engaged and entertained throughout the day. The level of skill and coordination displayed by the performers, coupled with the unique blend of wildlife interaction, added an extra layer of excitement to the overall experience.
One of the highlights was witnessing the incredible intelligence and talents of the animals showcased in the performances. The shows not only provided entertainment but also offered valuable insights into the natural behaviors and abilities of various species.
Moreover, the interactive elements allowed visitors to feel more connected to the wildlife. Whether it was getting up close to the animals or participating in activities, the shows at Safari World created a sense of immersion and engagement.
The seamless combination of entertainment and education made the experience not only enjoyable but also enriching. I would highly recommend Safari World to anyone seeking a day filled with fun, excitement, and a deeper appreciation for the incredible world of wildlife.
One can feed various animals or take pictures with them all at the prices mentioned there. The shows are timed so make sure to be mindful about the time and reach the show to watch fully.
Aiswarya B — Google review
A very good place to visit. The shows they're playing is good we had no time to see the sea lion show due to our time schedule so please try to enter the place in the morning itself, we saw dolphin show, elephant show and one spy war show these all were really good.We can see every animal living in the forest and they are all together living in one compound. Only lions,tigers and bears were separated from them for a longer life for other animals 😅. It's a wonderful experience. We can ride with our own vehicle and that's a good thing. Only thing to remember is to close the windows and not drive fast inside this perimeter .

This is an amazing place and a must visit place when in Thailand. There are various shows such as Dolphin, Orangutan, Elephant, Spy /Stunt, Open zoo / Safari. The shows are amazing and well planned. This is a full day activity, so ensure that you take caps, water and all items for the entire day.
There are Indian Restaurants and various food options available inside. We went to a restaurant called Savanna which offered a Indian buffet.

Fun and elegant experience with nature and it’s wild. It’s well maintained and each n every animal is taken care of. No usage of drugs. No torturing of animals. Shows that happen in Safari World shall be conduct in ENGLISH rather than their own national language, so that everyone including the foreigners can understand whats going on. Must visit place in Thailand.

Javier Jin Hao Ng — Google review
Went here today this is what I thought of the place
1—-managing a park I will give them -10 , you turn up the ticket counters are a mess someone people are following politeness and lining up and other just walk in and go up to the counters so there is no one from management ensuring the smooth flow of people doing the right thing
2— extremely very busy park we went on a Friday and you have to really push people if you wanna watch a show very very busy
3—-they say no bottles and food allowed because they want you to buy their overpriced water and drinks and food
4— all the animal parts you go to every single one of them they wanna make money from you by selling you a bucket of food for 150-200 local currency
5— not the cleanest park I guess it’s a huge park and may be less staff don’t know
6—- the animals did not look healthy to us it was a hot day and they were all grasping for air may be not enough shady areas for animals
7— they had few shows we watched 4 of them you have to make sure you really rush to get good seats or else forget it don’t bother even watching them
8— every single thing inside the park you wanna do you pay extra
9— parking is free
10- safari park now that was. The best part of the trip
11- will highly recommend do not go in the zoo bus paying 100 local currency per person you won’t have a good time at all
12-we rented a car and went inside the safari in our rented car best experience ever
13- certainly I would say they could improve the park
14- tiger lions areas was the best worth it
15- drive your own car you can park in the tigers encounter and just stay in your car and watch them a very good experience indeed
16- there is a seven eleven right next to the exit so you can go get your normal priced drinks and food
17- you would need the whole day easy .
18- we came across some polite staff and some very very very horrible staff that was not a nice thing to do see specially towards kids so that was not a nice thing
I would certainly recommend the place worth. A visit

It was a surreal experience. The premises and animal enclosures were super neat and clean. All the animals are treated well and looked healthy.
The highlight of the visit were the animal shows at different arenas. All the staff are well behaved and helpful. I had lunch there as well and it was satisfactory with all the crowd management.
I literally have no suggestions they are functioning with such magnificence. Good Luck to all the crew and workers.

You have to visit this place if you are visiting Bangkok with family and kids. Huge zoo area, neat and well maintained animal cages. The ride at the entrance will give you experience of roaming in the jungle and witness wildlife in their natural habitat. The experience is amazing. They have various shows (schedule and timing of the show will be provided to you). This is one of the best zoos I've visited. Highly recommended.

If you love wild life, you have to visit this place. Especially if you have kids. So many shows to watch. Elephant show, Dolphin show, Orangutan Show and most favourite Sea lion show. You need a lot of time to explore the entire park. Wonderful experience for a family outing. Most shows are in Thai language. Thats the only drawback.
Amit Beloshe — Google review
It was a busy day at Safari World. They offered a bus for an extra 100 because walking inside the zoo isn't allowed. Maybe renting a car is better for seeing the animals. The animal shows are a bit crowded, making finding a seat difficult. If you want to feed the animals, you need to pay extra for their food. Also, they don't allow outside drinks or food.Despite the challenges, it was definitely worth it.
Florami Carael — Google review
Safari World was a blast! Loved the stunt and animal shows, especially seeing the animals chilling in their natural spots. The elephant and dolphin shows were my absolute favorites. It’s a cool place to catch some fun shows and get up close with wildlife. Definitely a must-do if you’re into that sort of thing.

Mega Bangna is a shopping mall in Bangkok that is popular for its wide variety of stores and restaurants. The mall has an IMAX theater and a light fountain, which makes it a great place to spend an evening.

It is super big shopping mall that encompasses IKEA, Homepro and Harbourland! Harbourland is one side of the building built specially for kids! you want to give reading lesson, chinese language lesson, dance lesson, taekwando lesson for your kids, name it, its all there. and as a muslim, Megabangna has prayer room at upper floor and very convenient, its not noisy, although women and men only separated by partition but having a designated place to pray in non-muslim country is already a privilege. There is no halal food, but there is a pork free (seafood based) restaurant (forgot its name). its at the foodwalk, blue signage restaurant. i like that the mall is very kids friendly, have outdoor playground with sand dunes, water play area with 10cm deep and a swing (on the water!!) for parents to monitor their children. The mall is always clean, lots of bazaar with affordable price, one big C supermarket (of course at Bangkok was bigger), and Megapark! (big outdoor park with sunshineee)
i am so amazed by the design and facilites. if you wish to walk a lot, can come megabangna. from end to end is so far 🤣 definitely will come again with my kids.

I was strolling through the mall with my family when we became hungry. So a quick trip to the food cord above us and I have to tell you, it's way to expensive. And the food is not even as good as expected for the price.
I had the Pad Thai with shrimps.
Let me tell you: it was way to spicy (which it shouldn't be in the first place. I have to add that I wasn't the one who put chili in), the noodles where too dry, the shrimps were overcooked and the peanuts totally burnt. A huge disappointment! Stay away from the food there!
At least it was clean, the cleaners were very accurate.

Great mall for affordable middle-class brands, and lots of them. It's a good place to spend a whole day in to get all types of shopping done. It is quite out of the way but it also means it's very local and not a tourist destination.
There's a free shuttle bus at Udom Suk station that takes 20-25 minutes to 2 stops at the mall. To return, get on the bus at Mega Terminal near Big C to get a seat as it most likely will fill up before the next stop.
There are plenty of nice restaurants as well as entertainment for children. Nicely designed with open-air setting.

Incredible shopping mall, especially when you have a flight on that same day. Extremely convenient with lots of variety of food and even a locker service to store your baggage.

Enormous shopping mall with great outdoor area that has water features that you wouldn’t expect at a shopping mall.
Was quite easy to get to, but you might have some difficulty getting home if you didn’t bring your own car.
There are long lines for people waiting to get onto the free shuttle bus to Udom Suk BTS Station.
And Taxis get lost trying to find you, since it’s such a big place.

Huge indoor-outdoor shopping area. I was told the largest in the country. You can spend a whole day here, especially if you get lost in IKEA. There are plenty of restaurants and shops and ways to keep the kids entertained. If you like shopping, you'll like it here. McDonalds to BMW and Gucci they have it all. Really well laid out and easy to get around.

A really-really big mall with tons of genuine shops sellings branded stuffs.
Good food court and reasonable too.
They have nearly every store at one place; IKEA, Harbor Land, English language centres, Skill development centres for kids, Home Pro etc.
Can spend a whole day; entertainment, shopping, learning, meeting friends and families etc.

The biggest shopping mall in Bangkok. It's connected to Ikea.
Megabangna is a huge shopping complex. There is an outdoor playing area where visitors often bring their children to play at the water area.
There are many food choices here too. Many branded stores here and a big cinema.
KC — Google review
Huge shopping centre with heaps of shopping options.
They do provide a shuttle bus from Udomsuk BTS. Take exit 5 and head down to the street level. You will see an allocated yellow box/bus stop. There aren’t much signs and directions but just make sure you wait at that yellow box.
Shuttle bus does take about 20minutes to come around and seats are extremely limited. The ride took around 15-20minutes.
Other down side is that they don’t provide a shuttle bus service to the airport, which I find is such a waste.
They do provide some lockers for free, a bit cumbersome to use but makes it convenient to walk around. Head to the main entrance where the information counter is, then head down the escalators to the ‘undergound’. The lockers were just round the corner.

The mall is huge. An ideal place for shopping-lovers. You can see most of the famous brands in here. I enjoy walking through the path circling around the center. There are some nice surprise along the way. After You dessert, famous for bread icecream. IKEA with many demos for modern room design. HomePro, for elegant household items. The staffs are nice and supporting, eventhough they dont speak English much.

TWP Lumlukka is an extensive wakeboarding facility established by a group of passionate locals in Thailand. The park features a variety of challenging obstacles, perfect for pros looking to enhance their skills or beginners seeking to improve. Along with its 5-corner Rixen counter clockwise cable layout and 2-tower system for private rides, the park also has its own pro shop and cafe on-site.
Beautiful place with top class service. There is 5 point cable and 2 point cable for practice. The speed of the 5 point cable is about 31km/h. There is a slower session on sat and Sunday 25km/h between 9am and 10.30am. Great time for beginners. Good food and drinks on site. There is also a hotel next to the park. Great atmosphere.
Peter Kerl — Google review

Because Thailand is always summer 🌤, you can come and join here anytime of the year!

Thai Wakepark Lumlukka is my favorite place to wakeboard in Thailand. This place rocks!
Shawn O'Donnell — Google review
Great place to spend a day, for beginners and skilled people alike. Can only recommend the beginner cable if you are just starting out.
The people there seem to be equally mixed, you see Thais, expats, families and groups of friends.
Although it's a bit far out (approx. 1 hour drive out of Bangkok) it is well worth the trip. I can only recommend to visit TWP.
Anan Jamnansribejra — Google review
Enjoyed my experience the only thing if you are regular with not a lot of experience it might be hard to turn or get on the obstacles, because most of them are for goofy. Food is also really nice, has gender separate showers and shop inside. Consider bringing your own gear even from abroad since rent is 700 baht for 4 hours, on the other hand gear is better then in the most of the wake parks (boots are liquid force the board itself is usual) so it worth the money. Stuff is helpful and nice
Iya Roos — Google review
Five stars through and through! This place gave me so much joy from being outdoors in the sun, water and wakeboarding action. What I love the most is the staff. Everyone (teacher Fluke and the 3 guys operating the machine) really cared for quality of your experience, help you along, give you guidance and offer encouragement. Even the golf buggy driver gave me some helpful pointers 😁 Thank you! Of course, the food, WiFi and all that facilities are top notch. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to spend a few hours doing something new and active. Perfect for families, group of friends or lone wolf…basically anyone.

Here’s the first time that I visited here and tried the wake board. It was so fun and challenging. If you were first time visitor, you would get free 1hr. Don’t worry if you were the beginner. The Park provided the trainer to guide the beginner how to serve the board and use the equipments as well as basic technique. Don’t be shy! Go and try the new experience here. I will revisit for sure.

Was great fun for my son. Nice place to sit and take in the view while relaxing. Very well kept, and very clean.
A great spot outside the city to enjoy some time in nature and on the water. It was my first time ever and the staff were pretty accommodating. I did feel I could have been given a better initial “how-to” as I’ve never wakeboarded before. I was initially told by the rental staff to use footing that was complete opposite of how I snowboard; to have my dominate foot in the front. This meant that my first hour I flopped on my face a lot. When another member of staff suggested I tried regular stance (which I use for snowboarding) I was immediately able to get up and ride. I felt foolish for not having been told this correctly since the beginning. I guess it built up my perseverance but when you have to wait ten minutes in line only to flop on your face time and time again...well, it would have been nice to have been told how to do it properly right away. Overall, highly recommend the experience but would like the staff to ensure they’re giving the correct information to all first time riders. Also the surroundings are beautiful! Even if you don’t want to ride and just want a wonderful place to spend the day it is great.
Ko Sichang is a picturesque island that can be easily reached by ferry from Bangkok. It offers various hiking trails, beaches for relaxation and scooter rentals to explore the island. You can hire a bike to travel conveniently from top to bottom and relish local seafood in numerous restaurants. Although it has limited beaches, the stunning sunsets compensate for it. This place is ideal for running enthusiasts as the roads are good with some great hills.
Koh Si Chang, Thailand – Travel Guide
Not to be confused with the much larger and more popular island of ‘Koh Chang’ in Trat province, Koh Si Chang is a magical little island close to Bangkok that exists mostly unknown to international travellers!
This piece of paradise in the Gulf of Thailand only has one beach, which is quite small, and the mountainous terrain makes this an interesting island to explore.
Unlike nearby islands, Koh Si Chang is not a party destination and doesn’t even have any bars in town! With little tourist infrastructure to attract people, the island stays relatively quiet, especially on weekdays. However, despite the laid-back atmosphere, there is plenty to do to keep visitors busy.
Koh Si Chang is primarily a fishing island, and the town is filled with people who make their living from the sea.
Due to the fact that, for the time being, so few foreign travellers visit the island, the majority of residents don’t work in the tourism industry, although this is rapidly changing.
However, at the moment, instead of trying to sell you a cheap souvenir or a snack, locals typically just go about their day and don’t bother travellers. However, don’t think that people here are rude! When you stop to talk to people, you’ll receive nothing but smiles and gracious hospitality. This is the way Thailand is meant to be!
The ferry pulls up to a pier in the heart of town, which is also where are the restaurants and the majority of the attractions are. However, you can rent a motorbike right on the pier which will allow you to head straight to your accommodation if you’re travelling light. Many resorts also offer pick-up from the pier.

A small island off Sri Racha. Getting there is via the public jetty near Sri Racha Park and only cost 50b. This place is a gem
There are little to no foreign tourist and usually consist of locals only. It has a beautiful Palace and one really nice beach. Its not going to be a ko Samui or a ko Chang but its special on its own way. Also, if you can don't miss the native white squirrel here which is found on the southern part of the island. They look beautiful but are very shy.

A beautiful island that is extremely easy and relatively quick to visit from Bangkok. Hire a bike and explore the island from top to bottom very easily. Lots of local seafood restaurants to enjoy. Limited on beaches but the outstanding sunsets make up for it. A great island for running enthusiasts - good roads and some great hills. Stay at one of the local wooden hut b&b’s for a slightly more off grid experience. It’s not for those who are looking to fill their days with activities but more suited to those looking for a complete reset.
Asher Coleman — Google review
Beautiful island peaceful and quiet compare with the tourist crowded Pattaya. But overall the boat service to the island was a nightmare. The fishing boat modified my family and me boarded was lack of safety even thought it has the life jacket equipped. The boat’s boarding walk way was too narrow. An accident happened during my trip back as one local fell to the sea. Just be prepared and caution when travel with elder and children.

A real gem of an island. Ended up staying here 2 months. Great for fishing, swimming and check out the local temples/ sites. Friendly locals. Don't expect a party though, as there are only 2 karaoke on the island. Recommended

What I liked about the small, cozy island of Ko Si Chang: # No cars allowed! Only scooters and stylish tuktuks. # Very little number of tourists, so no noisy night life. # Diversified hilly terrain with super satisfying narrow winding roads for scooter riding (rent your own Zoomer for 300 bht/24h). # Some quiet resorts and natural nooks where you can hide from the world and avoid crowds - good for writers or thinkers perhaps. # Dry microclimate: you feel like in Greece for a change, not a greenhouse. # Wonderful vistas from a promenade to the west and other high points. # Some choice of vegan food in certain restos. # Low prices. # So close to Bkk, 4 hrs by bus and ferry in total. # Smiling friendly locals.
Be aware of sea urchins (bring plastic shoes) and jellyfish in the ocean. Be prepared that life slows down rapidly right after disembarking and you might need some time to get in sync.

Paradise. Small, quaint peaceful little island without too many tourists. Immerse yourself in Thai culuture and be sure to check out the amazing Chinese temple, talk a walk along Asdang pier and catch the sunset from Hat Tham Phang Beach. Don't forget to grab a bite of some delicious fresh seafood while you're there.

What I love about this island, it is really accessible from Bangkok and worth the visit with all it’s beauty and wonderful locals. You can eat amazing seafood dishes and ride a rental scooter around the island. You’ll see some wild bore with its young roaming around and the temples and views are gorgeous. Given the island is relatively small, it’s perfect for a weekend getaway i.e. to escape the busy city life with many beautiful options of places to stay to choose from.

Phra Chudathut Ratchathan Palace
Historical landmark
Museums
Specialty Museums
This coastal summer palace was once used by royalty and now serves as a public tourist destination with stunning ocean views and gardens. Visitors can spend an hour or two exploring the beach, gardens, cafe, and mountain-top temple. Upon entering, pay respect to King Rama V whose statue stands on the right side of the entrance. Aussada Bridge offers a picturesque location for taking photos. This historical landmark is a must-visit attraction on the island despite being crowded.
Extremely picturesque location, with great parks and sea views, combined either remaining mansions and mysterious shapes of old dismantled throne hall...

Nestled within regal surroundings, Phra Chudathut Ratchathan Palace stands as a testament to Thai architectural grandeur. The intricate details of the palace showcase a harmonious blend of traditional design and cultural richness. From the meticulously crafted exteriors to the ornate interiors, every element reflects a deep reverence for Thai heritage. A visit to this palace promises an immersive journey into the kingdom's history and an appreciation for the exquisite craftsmanship that defines its regal charm.

Well known 5 stars golf course in Thailand, located about 40-45 minutes from downtown Bangkok by car. This course is not open to public but only for members or member’s guests. Play fee for guest is quite expensive but comparable to other 5 stars golf courses surrounding Bangkok. Course itself is well maintained with challenging layout. Distance between blue tee and white tee is rather big difference. High handicap golfer should go for white tee.

Everything from arriving to departure was great. They have a cashless system where you pay everything when you leave, like being a member and putting on an account. Very nice.
The course was in amazing condition. Caddie was sweet and she knew what she was doing.

Khao Sam Muk is a well-known mountain peak that provides magnificent panoramic views of the bay and is considered a local emblem of protection. This massive dike may be one of the largest in the world, but it is not very clean due to its abundance of monkeys. You can climb to the summit using stairs, where you will be rewarded with stunning views of the ocean. If you continue up the road, Monkey Hill awaits where you can overlook the city.

the more you go uphill, the more hungry the monkeys. i went to the very uphill place wich you can only go by feet next to a little temple and the monkeys there were very importunate to get food out of my bagpack. specially the alpha males. you should buy all the food downhill.
rating what the apes like:
1. eggs
2. tomatoes
3. pudding
4. corn
5. banana
6. peanuts
the apes downhill only like 1.-3.
the apes uphill like 1.-5.

The Dao De Tian Ling Gong temple, also known as the Shrine of Na Jia Tai Jeu, in Ang Sila, Chonburi is a vast and elaborate complex with a lavish fountain and decorated pavilions. The temple houses numerous colorful statues of Chinese deities and provides ample parking space without any entrance fee. Though it has a bustling commercial vibe, it is still an ideal place to visit for those who enjoy exploring temples or seeking blessings for health, wealth, and wisdom.
A enormous temple complex.
I think this is a place you need to go if you like seeing temples. In my opinion you can compare it with Viharn Sien in Pattaya. Many statues. There is enough parking space. No entrance fee.

It is located in Angsila, Chonburi. Visited here when we were on the way to Pattaya. The temple is huge. Majestic. That I think pictures can't tell how magnificent the temple is.
There are some floors and you can view the town of Angsila at the top of the floors.
There are a lot of wall paintings in the temple. Too many. But it seems all the painting is in Chinese words.
There is no entrance fee when we enter. we parked our car outside but saw some people able to park their car inside but I'm not sure how.
Overall it is definitely worth to pay a visit when you are in Chonburi.

Definitely a place to pay a visit. It's huge, it's stunning, it's beautiful. There is a small shop with souvenirs for tourists, unfortunately it was closed during our visit.

We came here on the second day of Chinese New Year. Very lovely indeed. We went there to pray and pay respect to the Chinese Buddhist god. The area is very big and it is a 3 stories building high. They don't sell food inside the compound but that's ok since it is located in the town and there are many shops around that area. The washroom is also located in the compound. There is even a Lion dance and Dragon dance show in the evening and when it's a little dark, they even performed with light show. Creative group of performance and choreography.

An absolute standout of a golf course! I would rate this in my top 10 methods of Thailand.
This course knows how to make their customers feel welcome. From the moment you drop off your bag, you are made to feel welcome.
The course has a great layout with short and long holes, exceptionally well maintained with excellent, challenging greens—very strategic bunker placements.
The caddies, are some of the most well trained I have encountered. From knowing your club selection to reading the greens. Very few courses in Thailand can say they have caddies like this.
The Japanese hot bath is a great way to end your round.

Interesting golf course, the course condition is absorbing the water in wet condition still problem some in some area, especially in rainy season which shower every afternoon. But so far the first 9 holes are in good green condition and challenging layout.
I like all par 3 which has variety of distances and flag position.
The water hazard is every where, beware of it.
The food in the restaurant is decent taste and portion.

It's a wonderful course, and well managed. In Thailand they tend to pack the tee times too close together so sometimes play will be slow. At this location, they tend to space things out generally ok. The course is in great condition, and I would recommend playing here. Possibly one of my favorite tracks here in Thailand.
March 2023: I need to recall my comments about time management. I think the speed was acceptable only due to covid in Asia. Recently this course is the same as others in Thailand which means waiting from tee box to tee box. Today's round took 5 hours. As illustrated in the photo, people wait for hole #1.

Quite interesting green and layout of bunker. But, caddy ability is so poor. Too young. 15-17 yrs. Lotus valley shall train them well.
The high school, Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan School, is a revered educational institution in Chachoengsao Province. Students regularly attend this sacred and respected school to receive their education. The campus offers a tranquil environment where students can learn and grow. Surrounding the school are various amenities such as a Chinese temple for worship and a bustling market where local foods are sold alongside lottery panels for entertainment.
Temple that looks as grand as a palace. Always packed on a weekend. Finding parking can be a problem. Recommended to park beside the market nearby and walk down.

This is the most terrible place. If you actually think this is entertainment, then you have something very wrong with you. The tigers are kept in beyond cruel conditions, and many are pathetically thin. They have no natural enrichment at all. They are all exhibiting distressed behaviours, such as pacing. These places should be illegal, and SHAME on you if you visit. I visited for the purposes of research, and I found it deeply, deeply distressing. 95% of the visitors I saw were Indian. The Thai government should close these places down.

They're abusing animals here. The animals are unhappy. They have cages that are too small, overcrowded, and with too few toys inside. They ride on elephants. The elephants are tied up in a way that they can't move. You can see how sad they are. The sight breaks your heart. This should be banned.

A nice mini zoo, the entrance fee can use as money to buy food and water along with food for feeding animals.
The zoo is not that big, with a great atmosphere and many places to take a photo. You can ride a horse and elephants. The riding horse fee is 2 rounds for 200 Baht, 30 mins for 500 Baht. The coach is very nice and teaches a lot of tricks before riding.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo is an exotic destination that offers a unique experience of witnessing African mammals, tigers and apes in their natural habitats. Located amidst the hills and dense jungle, this zoo is divided into two zones - green and pink. You can choose to rent a tram or golf cart to explore the park. The animals are kept in their natural habitats, making it feel like you're on a real safari adventure.
I came here in the morning on the weekend. There weren't many people in the morning. Entry price is 250 baht for adults. If you come to Thailand, you should definitely come here. There are many animals inside. You feel very close to them as it is open zoo. You also have the chance to feed many animals. I fed an elephant and it was very enjoyable. There are also wild monkeys as it is an open zoo. You should pay attention to these. They can harm you or steal your belongings. Since the zoo is very large, I definitely recommend renting a golf cart. Not too expensive just 500 baht. 4 people can use it.
Caner BA?DATLI — Google review
I like it, always nice to get some open air and interact with animals. some visits are up to the animals, are they sleeping, eating, playing. the set shows of the March of the penguins is constant and usually popular and can buy snack to feed them on stage. the swimming with elephants is always popular and when busy people need to que up early for the next show. feeding the elephants and giraffes is also popular and a good photo opportunity. this year traffic was down and there seemed to be less animals. they are also upgrading a couple of the parking lots. easy to park, can ride several available trolleys or rent a electric golf cart for a fee about 500 baht and up depending on size and time 4 seats or 6 seats a couple hours or more.
the carts are nice but the trolleys work well and you only need a cart to go to the big cat , guar, Australia section. the rest is close enough to walk easily.
watch out for the roaming monkeys. some are aggressive to snatch food or a purse out of your hands, will climb into carts looking for snacks. usually don't fear you and can chase a person out of a cart. if they see a cane, walking stick or slingshot they usually will leave you alone.
there are several well placed snack and restroom options.

When you enter the zoo, you think this is going to be an amazing place where all of the animals can roam around. Unfortunately, this is not the case for animals. The elephant show is too much! The chains before the show and so on are not okay - I wish my kid didn't have to see this.
Pink zone is very small, and after pink zone, there is nothing - the park seems to be abandoned at the end of the park - very strange feeling
Overall a nice park, but they could do better for some animals
Gilles Van geit — Google review
Totally in love with this open zoo! This is my first time visit, staff is very nice and polite. We parked the car at parking lot, bought ticket, adult 150 THB each, and 80THB for parking lot. You can rent buggy 500THB per 2 hours (can sit up to 4) or EV 3 wheel bike 350THB per 2 hrs including insurance (can sit 2).
The zoo is very large, you can see and feed eld's deer outdoor. Many money! Be careful of you belogging, they love to steal things.
We rent EV 3 wheels bike and drove along the green zone, you can enjoy seeing hippo, sloth, capybara. They are all cute and look very healthy!
Overall i had a very good experience here and will definitely come back to see more shows.

1. It was a good zoo.
2. Some animals like seal and many others looked sad and almost about to die because of their isolation and drugs.
3. Golf cart is a must to roam around (extra charges).
4. The map of the zoo is available and the posters of the map too.
5. Feeding animals are also there but very sad to see them like that

Fantastic place to bring young kids and the family for weekends activities. Ensure to come to this zoo early in the day as it does get very hot after lunch hours. There's wide variety animals around the zoo and many of them, we can bring the young kids up close with the animals. Food and snacks sell in the zoo is selling at premium, hence I would recommend to bring some snacks for the family. The zoo is massive can and There's the zoo hourly bus that's goes around as well as you can rent the gulf cart to goes around. I would recommend to do planing well as it's impossible to see everything, best to prioritize and plan

One of Thailand's largest zoos contains over 300 animal species in the 2000 acre forest area. Buy the tickets at the entry or the new parking area and then take the free hop-in-tram bus or choose the golf cart (rates apply 550 Baht with the insurance for two hours). Go around the various themed zones and enjoy. Well-maintained, and the staff are kind to help. Every area has snacks, beverage stalls, food courts, 7-Eleven convenience stores, restaurants, and restrooms. You can drive the golf cart or your vehicle to zone 3. Children enjoy and have fun and exciting experience with nature.
Tony Gonzalez — Google review
A nice zoo for a family outing. The drive to the zoo was awesome; you have to drive around 5km in the depths of a rural area to get to the zoo and the air was amazing on the ride up. Golf carts of 4 and 7 seats are available for personal hire. There are 2 zones. Zone 1/ Zone blue is accessible by walking and golf cart. The majority of animals are there and are within their enclosures. There are monkeys running around so be careful of your belongings and not going near mother monkeys with children (they might bite ya >:3 ). Zone pink is mostly treaded by your own vehicle and has zones for different animals, i.e Australia zone and cat complex. It's a whole day thing and mostly outdoor so plan a whole day for this. Best for kids, since it's just a zoo and not much else. They do have animal shows which can be entertaining. Overall, a great place for a family outing.

Highly recommend renting your own buggy 500 THB and discover the zoo in the most exciting and convenient way. Before entering the zoo's big entrance, turn left and walk 2 minutes to the buggy station. The zoo is huge, walking is abit too much as there are many slopes, or you can take the public tram which runs very often. Many families ride the buggy with grandparents and kids, it is very adorable and fun. The animals here seem to be well taken care of as I noticed their living spaces are well built, clean and spacious. If you're on your way to Pattaya, this place is definitely worth a visit for 2hrs. There are many fast foods and refreshment stations inside with reasonable prices. There is a 7Eleven at the entrance. Easy to find toilets also, no tissue. Best to visit right after opening hrs to avoid the long queue at the buggy rental. You will need to deposit your ID for the buggy, and abit of good driving skill is highly recommended.

This is very poor value for money 350baht entry +500 for a golf buggy for 2, it felt more like visiting Jurassic park 2... There was no direction for the visit from the staff there.
There are hardly any animals in here compared to the past, many empty enclosures and there is no clear timetable for the shows which happen ~3x a day.
The enclosures are old, half abandoned, falling apart and the grounds are overgrown and unkempt. It felt like a ghost zoo.
We noticed one man zooming around on his moped the whole time shouting at the animals, waving a stick and throwing bananas into the enclosures to make it look Interesting. It was more disturbing.
Be warned the monkeys are roaming everywhere and will steal belongings if left unattended.
The caged cats look emaciated and show signs of stress, I left feeling so sad for the animals welfare/future.
I would have asked for a refund but by 4.45pm hardly any staff were around, I didn't see any near the exit.

Interesting experience at the zoo. Some shows included an elephant swimming and penguins walking to the stage to get fed by tourists or anyone who wants to pay money to feed them.
Very open zoo, did a lot of walking but preferably you should hire a golf kart or take the public round trip safari buses as each area is quite far from the other.
Place is still under construction.

+ You can buy cheap tickets when you arrive
+ You can rent a golf cart and drive around the whole zoo at your own speed.
+ Many animals to see, monkeys, deer, hippo, elephant, lion, tigers, birds, capybaras, giraffes and aquatic animals
+ Monkeys roam the zoo freely, don't get too close or they'll chase you
+ You can feed and interact with some animals. Such as penguins and giraffe.
Tantawat H — Google review
The space is beautiful and set in an already natural beauty. There is a lot of space and animals are a bit far from each other which makes me believe that it would've been nicer to see the animals with some more space. The enclosures are run down and sincerely too small, especially when there's so much space around.
A big chunk of the zoo is to visit by car seeing that each enclosure is 500m from the previous one. It would've been nice to see that info somewhere.
They basically feed the animals by selling the guests feed. Great business plan but still feels like a steal as every movement inside costs extra.
Not my favourite zoo, but not the worst either. I plan to return as I haven't had the chance to visit half of it and the kid loved it.
Pedro Bernardo — Google review
Best place to spend morning time with family. The park is full of green and feels more like in natural surroundings. Shows are in various areas and timings are different so better check in their website for more details. Renting a self-driving golf cart is best option if traveling with family.

Could be better if more indicators signs would show where you are, where is the next place to visit. When you pay 300b for the entry, a paper map will be helpful. Chimpanzees or orangutans cannot be seen after 4pm, so you need to arrive early. Rent a golf cart because you will need to walk a lot!

A nice place to hang out with family and friends. You can encounter animals closely. They have a good variety of animal species.
Renting a golf car which is 2 hours validated is the best choice to move around in the zoo.

Oh wow, this place was like no other holy site I've ever visited. Without intending any disrespect, it was sort of like a spiritual Disneyland, with so many different ways & forms of devotion. Giant statues of Krishna, Ganesha, Quan Yin, a floating lotus on the river, golden boys & Ganesha's vehicle Mooshaka who will hear your wish & make it come true. It is a holy place, and reverent but it's also boisterous & colorful & playful. There are live elephants here. As in most situations I didn't feel too confident it was the most humane life for elephants so if you worry a lot about that you might not like it. But they seemed content. It was just my uneasiness about the elephants that made not give this place a 5.

Wat Saman Rattanaram is a strange place, and I don't mean anything negative by saying like that. The Wat Saman Rattanaram is a combination of a Buddhist temple area and a market place. The temple area is, of course, full of worship figures - but prepare to implosion: Among the worship figures you find fairy tale figures, too, like Spider Man. Why not bow infront of a fairy tale figures? Attached to the holy? But don't you eat there at Wat Saman Rattanaram? There are street kitchen restaurants to eat. Don't you buy different things from many shops there? There is even 7-Eleven there... or don't you just spend time there and let your children play on the playground? But these are very ordinary things, aren't they? Buddhism is very skillfull to combine the holy and the ordinary, it is at times seen actually in every Wat. They are places to meet other people, friends, neighbours, relatives, even to do business when it's a market time... I see Wat Saman Rattanaram as a big practical Zen Koan. The holy and the ordinary, side by side, or rather mixed. But isn't Buddhist enlightenment the most ordinary thing? Return to the real, that is, return to the everyday? Okay, be it like it is, when you leave Wat Saman Rattanaram, there are many shops on the left side of the road selling cleaning tools. Remember to clean when at home.

This place is huge... there are multiple buildings as well as a market to explore. Besides the huge and impressive statues, there is also a big 🪷 lotus shaped structure in the river you can walk out to (not sure if this is a permanent fixture). They have some animals you can feed and pop culture statues that should excite the kids. We spent 4 hours here. Nearby there is a hospital which has a newly constructed statue and a big golden rock you can go inside, check that out too if you have time. You can take a tuk tuk from Chachoengsao station to the temple's market, just be aware it's not that easy to come back from the temple. They have trucks that come back to the bus station and train station, check the times after you arrive. Highly recommended. Entry is free.

Great location to recharge yourself before driving to Korat city or nearest place. Buildings are Italian style, some convenient stores are waiting for servicing you.

This is a great location with a reconstruction of Veronese buildings. Very picturesque and photogenic. It’s currently looking a bit run down with many outlets closed due to the Covid situation. Hopefully this is just temporary. Still worth a stop 😊

Nothing much to do here. Everything has a fee, even a decent bathroom. The workers inside are nice, but the place itself isn't interesting.

Wow!
Amazing Place.
Excellent location among mountains and on the main road.
Made in European style.
Once you are here, you can not go away from this place.
Kids will love this place.
This place has everything in it.
Beautiful lake, Bridge, light house, shopping center, gas station.
What you need more for small holiday?
This place will make you feel that you are in a countryside of Europe..

Some people might find this place interesting but during query times there are few visitors and very little to attract them to pay the modest entrance fee to enter and have a look.
The grounds are quite nice but not particularly well maintained. Once you're inside the staff will try to get you to our your hand in your pocket to try some of their activities.
There are apparently concerts or performances on occasion that attract quite a large crowd.

This is a perfect place for photo shooting. The decoration is lovely and mimic from various cities in Italy.
Not many choices of restaurants and shops, it looks like all the small biz here cannot survive.
As a traveler, I do want to see more local shops and their products - so I could support them and have a sustainable economic in the community level.

Many shops are closed. Dirty and unpleasant place. Very disappointed staying overnight here as the room is quite in bad condition, very noisy. Hotel managed to put the group tour party in the residential zone. Party creates loud sounds until 11pm. No nature here, very nightmare to our family. Will never ever comeback again.

Great hidden Gem of a place and if its natural attractions and no gimmicks and Tee shirts etc for sale This is the place to come :)
I drove all the way to it as i just followed Google Maps and it took me exactly to the Buetififul site of Natural Rock Formations :)
I was absolutely amazed by the place ..Cant wait to take the Family ..
Dont go at night as for your you are likely to fall in a natural Pothole ,)
So if you want to see Thsilands Grand Canyon , then its here BUT dont expect the Grand part ,)Though i loved it as it as its off the beaten path and was great seeing the locals go about their everyday life :)
Make sure your mobile or camera has plenty of charge and a bottle of water is handy as no shops or stalls here YET :)

Unusual geomorphology landscape but beautiful in its own way. You got to use the local service cart ( e-taek ) to go in the place. Paid 250 baht for round trip. Stay safe by grabbing a bottle of water with you.

Amazing place with amazing scenery. We were there with family and friends and we really enjoyed it. We have not seen anything like this before. I recommend bringing water and hats with you. The cost of a walk-behind tractor is 300 baht. I recommend this place to visit.

An interesting geological formations. Life hack: you do not need to pay 200 baht for a local tractor to reach the destination but rather park your car and walk about 10 minutes for free.
Eugene Gorny — Google review
Warning!!! Should read overall reviews before driving to this destination. This place was part of my road trip plans. I didn't read the review,just attracted to beautiful pictures. This is private property. You can't drive to the site. You have to park here and took those vehicles which attached in my review. I had a lot of stuff in my car and look around my sentiment said NO. After read the reviews some times changed for 500 or 300 seems depend on the mood of drivers. I personally didn't like this kinda things. If it let me drive to the site pay fix price 300-500 baht,I would happy to pay for it. For my own safety, at the time of arrival nobody there how could I know if anything happen a long the way. Skipped it.
APC SSP — Google review
Smaller than expected. It's a community maintained area so it receives no funding from the central government. I came during the afternoon so it was blazing hot. Better to come in the evening or late afternoon. You can rent a car for 200 baht (300 baht) from the visitor center. It can fit up to 6 ppl. Alternatively, I bargained to park my car in the temple and walk in there myself for 50 baht.
Anuk Yingrotetarakul — Google review
Cool mud hoodoos that are definitely worth checking out. Since they are mud, they won't be around for too much longer.
Have to park your car at the main visitor center and rent a modified tractor to tour. Cost is 200 baht for the tractor. Pretty good signage once you get to find your way here.
Greg Wang — Google review
Ok so there is a lot of sand and there is cool formation but after a few photos it is just sand. Many years ago you could just drive here and nobody cared now they "claim" it is on private land and they charge you 200 THB and you can not go inside with your own car. We did since the signs were in Thai and when he said we have to pay 500 thb for driving inside i just told him what and drove away. I do not like when locals trying to claim ownership of something and take a big fee. If its there land ok but i doubt it very much.

Thailand "rock formation", it is actually the stack of clay soil that slowly caused by water (rain) erosion. The structure may change year by year. To visit the site, tourist should go by the local tractor drive by villager who know exactly where is save, otherwise some area may risk to collapse. It is really funny activity and worth to do once.
sumpun Thammacharoen — Google review
An interesting geological place.....lots of unusual rock structures, quite intricate and beautiful to look at.
However it is quite a small area and once you've seen it, you've seen it.
Worth a look if you are in the area but I would not recommend driving hundreds of kilometres just to see it.

Golden Gate Plaza
Market
Shopping
Golden Gate Plaza is a vibrant marketplace that showcases an array of clothing and handicrafts stalls, along with street food vendors. It's a bustling night market where shoppers need to possess excellent bargaining skills to land deals on their purchases. With its massive size, the market can take hours to explore fully, and visitors can find an impressive selection of items to buy.
Come here monthly, good place to shop, brought lots of sports kit and pyjamas today. Next time fishing kit

Massive market, would take hours to walk around to see all. Brought many items
Stephen Boraston — Google review
If you are looking for second hand clothes, brand name handbag, original or copy clothes/shoes, machinary and toy, this is the place. Not worth going just to buy few items but if you need to buy a lot or just on the way to or out of Cambodia, great place to stop by at least couple of hours. Better take a bus from Ekamai bus terminal or Lumpini Park.

Golden Gate Plaza Thailand border is so much cheaper than buying in Poipet or the country Cambodia itself. I save a lot of money buying there and a lot of Khmer merchants who have their own stores in Cambodia would buy whatever they need in stocks at a discount rate and sale them in Cambodia for a huge profit. If anyone of you want to save money, shop in Thailand either at the Golden Gate Plaza or somewhere else in Thailand, you will save lots of money. Here in Cambodia, it is the land where one get scammed, get rip off, lied to. Khmer merchants will lied through their teeth and raise the price of whatever you want to buy. Very dishonest. Go to Golden Gate Plaza.

2. HAND HEAVEN
To call Rong Kluea market anything else would not be fair. I do not know where all the 2. clothes come from originally.
I was told that the majority of the seller's which is from Cambodia bring all the products they are selling them from Cambodia. The goods are brought to the market from Cambodia on big hand-pulled carts.
The products are mostly 2. hand clothes mixed with some new copy products.
The 2. hand clothes look like is origins from the west, how it end up at a border market in Thailand's one can only wonder about.
The market is supplying most of the 2. hand clothes shops around Thailand. When you look at the license plates at the cars at the parking lots you see cars from all over Thailand.

Great Border Market snd I believe it is the biggest, be prepared to barter and the deals come ;)
They start high ,I finish very low as I know what I can get items from elsewhere ie chinatown ,so I needed quite a,few items snd bought all there ,do saves me the trip to Bangkok ..
Normally it is very hot here but today was,an exception..Be careful of the touts ,starting off with copy sun glasses,and beware what comes next .....The Cheap Viggarrette Scam that is all a set up eith the sellers, the police and the tax office .....don't say I haven't warned you...
The Market though is well worth at least 2 hours and minimarts,atms,bike and buggy rental ,do a great place for a day's out with the family .Or in my case ,by my self on this occasion,)

Prasat Sdok Kok Thom is a remarkably preserved stone Khmer-style Hindu temple from the 11th century CE, located in Thailand. This historical landmark is the top site for historical parks in Thailand and boasts tourist signage, maps, information clearly marked, ample parking space, helpful staff, clean modern toilets and well-maintained buildings and grounds with shady areas. Best of all - there are no tourist charges to visit this non-commercial park!
Avery well maintained historic park. There is plenty of parking and nice clean restrooms. There was no entry fee on the day I went. The main structure was a marvel to look at even if parts were restored. This is not a very big site so it’s easy to see everything in less than a hour.

Banteay Chhmar, situated in the northwest of Cambodia, is a commune located 63 km north of Sisophon and approximately 20 km east of Thailand. The area comprises 14 villages and boasts an impressive temple complex that features intricate bas-reliefs. These remote ruins offer visitors a fantastic opportunity to experience Cambodian rural life and explore a temple complex far from the crowds.
Bat Cave Phnom Sampov is a must-see destination in Battambang. Locals have set up tables and chairs for visitors to enjoy the spectacular view of bats flying out of the cave between 5:30 to 6 pm, while sipping on refreshing drinks. Nearby, there's a temple and killing cave that are worth visiting before witnessing the bat flight.
Very nice cave. They are not lying ! The bats are coming out between 5:30and 6:00pm
Amazing to witness. I recommend to go and read the sign in front which is very instructive.
Gabriel Malet — Google review
An amazing experience, highly recommend visiting. We arrived at 17:00, entrance is $1 and then drinks are on average $1 - you will need to buy something to take a seat to wait or can stand for free.
The bats came out of the cave at about 17:35 and this lasted for around 1 hour! I think about a million bats came out which is incredible!
There are also lots of monkeys around, all friendly and no bother! Lots of local people feeding them.
Emily Carter — Google review
A must see while staying in Battambang. Great location and the bats come out between 5:30 to 6 pm. The locals even placed a table and chairs for us to see it better and we could enjoy a refreshing drink. If you want to go see the bats, only a couple of minutes there is a temple and the killing cave. We can definitely recommend these before seeing the bats fly. The view is spectacular from the temple on the hill. You can either walk up or take a motorbike for 1$

The bat cave was absolutely incredible! We booked this as part of a package from trip advisor and had an absolute fantastic time. It is impressive how the bats move and something worth observing.
There were also some locals selling coconut and rice snacks which are delicious.

Amazing experience witnessing nature do it’s thing. You’ve got all the tourists sat along a line in front of the cave (I’m guessing at the same time everyday), the bats come out at around 5:30-5:40pm everyday, would recommend anybody travelling Battambang to see this natural beauty.

They're likely appear around 5:30pm till later than 6:30pm.

2. Buddha statue and Sampov Mountain
3. Sunset View
4. Local living and pagoda
Highly recommended!

Highly recommend, a sight to experience. The bats usually leaves the cave to Tonle Sap River between 5:30pm - 6:30pm and would return at dawn. A car cost of entry is $1.25. The edged in Buddha were spectacular. There is is also a temple right on top of the mountain.
Dave Lim — Google review
Great place to see the 6.5 million bats leave the cave at sunset. I would definitely recommend, if on a scooter/moped, to follow the direction of the bats back to the entrance as they fly above you in wave like patterns (like in the videos).
Free entry, if you want to sit at the tables and chairs just buy a drink $1-$3.
Jordan Coombes — Google review
Unfortunately due to time constraints, we couldn't stay until the time for the bat flies out of the cave, however the view was nice from afar. There are a chair arranged for tourists or visitors to wait. And you can try the local snacks waiting to be served anytime.
There are newly built statues of Buddhas from the rock of the mountain itself.

A very unique experience in the evening with millions of bats flying out. You can take a seat and order some beer and snacks while enjoying this too.I would also recommend reading the sign there to know a little bit more about the place. Overall a really good way to end the day in the province.
Souvik Biswas — Google review
Waited for quite sometime for the bats to emerge and by the time they did it was too dark to see them. Not the bat's fault of course but I couldn't help thinking that the number of people and noise may be putting them off coming out. Interesting all the same.
Nick Herepath — Google review
This was exactly the way people describe it. Very unique experience. Millions of bats flying out of the cave.
It’s free but if you want to sit down you have to buy a drink.
The bats started coming out at 17.15. It took about 30 minutes for all of them to get out.
Henna Kuusisto — Google review
I don’t think it can be understated how many bats there are.
Also, the caves and temples up top are well worth it. You can drive if you have a moto and save an hour of calf tearing stair climbing.
Nathan Sweeny — Google review
An amazing experience to see millions of bats leaving the cave at sunset. Once they start flying out, more and more come for about 30 minutes!
The downside is that you have to buy a drink to sit on the chairs laid out by the locals and they aren’t too friendly about it but a beer only costs around $2 so it wasn’t too bad.
Izzy Kinnaird — Google review
This is the highlight of a tour to Phnom Sanpow. The locals have everything set up nicely so you can enjoy the show in comfort. Get there early for a front row seat, and you can enjoy a bit of barbecued chicken and a cold beer while you wait for the bats to do their thing. The bats, and there's millions of them, will start appearing at around 6.15 pm.
Safe travels,

I'll never travel to Siem Reap without this trip planner again
The Ek Phnom Pagoda is an intriguing site located behind a new and ornate modern pagoda. The temple, dating back to the 11th century, is in ruins but still standing with the help of wooden scaffolds. Despite its current state, it holds a certain romantic charm that is enhanced by its lack of tourists during July 2020. Upon arrival, visitors may overlook the massive sitting Buddha statue situated behind a large tree until reaching the parking area.
Some carving still perfect. it us most ruined.
it is built for a state reforming center at 11th century, the khmer empire

It's an interesting place. It's located behind a beautiful new pagoda. If you're coming from Battambang city centre, you will probably miss the huge Buddha until you go into the parking area - the statue is right behind a huge tree. Ek Phnom is a ruin, held up by wooden scaffolds. It's actually quite romantic... and at this time it's virtually tourist free (July 2020)
Timothy Hilgenberg — Google review
A nice small temple. Good to stroll around and take some photos. There were not any tourists besides us on this site. Entrance is $1 and going around takes around 15-20 minutes.
Nextdoor one can find a large statue of a buddha.

Probably a really cool tempel, if we were allowed to just go in it. We were greeted and they immediately wanted money of us for entree. After asking if the locals also need to pay, they said no. When I asked them to explain why they didn't have an answer for us. We just headed back because we didn't want to deal with being treated different because of our origin.
HUMAN GALLERY - Joseba Etxebarria Photography is a captivating collection of human portraits captured by the renowned photographer during his four-year global bicycle journey. Located in a century-old house in Battambang, the gallery showcases photographs categorized by the continents they were taken on. Joseba's compelling story and his commitment to supporting underprivileged children add depth to the experience. Visitors can hear firsthand accounts of the people behind the portraits and learn about Joseba's philanthropic efforts.
Highly recommended!!! Must go before he moves away from Siem Reap!
It was very interesting to hear him sharing his stories and experience cycling around the world. Also, he mentioned he is planning another tour coming up real soon. His determination really is inspiring and motivating.
His photographs tell stories, from the people he captured, you can see they speak to you. It’s cool that there is also postcard side photo that you can buy, though there are many other sizes too. And he actually handwritten the location and year on the back of the photo, that’s very thoughtful.
He also let us try some of his homemade liquors. Strong liquor with interesting taste.

We accidentally passed by and decided to take a look. The story of Joseba is a very touching one, and his pictures just speak to you. He does a wonderful thing here, trying to support as many poor children as possible. I would recommend everyone to go here. Just take a look and listen to the stories Joseba tells about all the beautiful pictures he took.
Thank you very much Joseba and good luck with the beautiful gallery and the educational project. Wish you all the best!

Must visit in Battambang. The place uses the proceeds to help child victims of abuse to get better life and education.
It is a very nice place to spend some time, look at the photos and relax. You can sit upstairs, turn on a fan and work on you laptop if you please. The owner is a very chill and interesting guy and we chatted for a while and it was fun to learn more about him and what he has seen/what he does.
He also offered me some white wine (with a snake inside?), which I politely declined, but it definitely adds to the vibes. You can also purchase the prints of the photographs to support the good cause.

Highly recommended! It was an absolute pleasure and honour to meet and chat to Joseba at his small gallery in Battambang. His "mission" to try and help the poorest of the poor through his photography is both moving and inspiring.
The gallery is due to close in April 2020. Go visit before it does. You will not be disappointed you did!

I would HIGHLY recommend visiting this gallery. The photography is absolutely amazing and Joseba himself was so generous with his time, sharing stories of his travels & his personal history. The education project he has set up does some incredible work to support abused children by offering them a safe and supportive place to be educated. We ended up staying for over 2 hours and I left feeling really moved and also more educated on some of the social issues Cambodians face. I feel truly grateful for this experience.

My partner and I visited Joseba’s Human Gallery in July 2023. We highly recommend coming here if you have an hour or two in Battambang.
Joseba, the photographer, personally met us and shared his story about traveling around the world (including Africa, India, and Southeast Asia) to meet and photograph people from 2010-2022, of which seven of these years were on bicycle and many years were working with UNICEF. His story is inspirational and we loved his photos - particularly his portrait photos of people around the developing world. We decided to purchase two larger photos for our home because they were beautiful and compelling. Joseba donates proceeds from photo sales towards education for disadvantaged children near Battambang, and you can donate directly as well. This visit was very worthwhile for us and we were glad we went!
Roy Seto — Google review
This small gallery in the center of Battambang focuses on the topic of human rights through its portraits. Joseba opens his doors to welcome you and tell you the stories about the people he photographs. It's part of his long journey of traveling and living with people from all over the world to capture their stories, way of life and personality. Visiting the gallery is free but 20% of any purchase will go to the Wings for the Future project, which supports children education in Cambodia. Take some time to visit, have a drink and a talk with Joseba and enjoy his work and stories.
Alex Besteiro — Google review
A must see when in Battambang. Small cash donation goes entirely and directly to support the education of disadvantaged Cambodian children. Regarding the photography, while I normally prefer a documentary style, the portraiture here expresses the dignity of every individual and works to tap into our shared humanity. The owner is pleasant and happy to show visitors around (and his English is better than he thinks!).

We were really glad we stopped by the gallery. You don’t always expect the photographer to be present, but Joseba greeted us warmly, and very kindly explained his story and answered any questions about the photos.
We stayed for two hours in the end, so many of the photos are very powerful and moving that I felt I could just stare at some of them. Of course it’s very interesting to chat to Joseba also, he’s had an adventurous life and has a lot of stories to tell! The gallery is an excellently renovated colonial building which is lovely in itself.
Finally the prints are great quality and we ended up getting 10 of them to post to friends and just for ourselves. Probably the best thing we did in Battambang!

Don't miss this place! Joseba takes the time to explain the reason why he took his cycling trip and set up the gallery, which is so sad but inspiring to hear about what he and his organisation are doing to change the lives of the 72 children currently on the education programme.
Joseba's photos from his cycling trip are incredible - with every one I wanted to know the stories behind the people.

We took the ferry from Siem Reap to Battambang. A very nice way (but not very comfortable) to combine transport and sightseeing. It toon us 6.5 hours. Mostly cruising the river with the busy life of the floating villages and friendly waving locals. The boat does look different than on the website😏. It is very noisy so take earplugs. There is a simple toilet and they stop at a floating shop half way for 20 minutes if you fancy fried Rice.. ticket 30 usd and sometimes they can puck you up at your hotel.

Do NOT take this boat !
I with 18 other poor tourists ( some of a mature age) after the boat broke down over half way on the trip as it struggled to get through very shallow water ( some people got out and tried to push it away from the muddy banks.
We where thrown off the boat in the heat and had to walk for over an hour and a half through fields, carrying out luggage! Some elderly people clearly couldn't manage, younger passengers helped.
We were finally met by a couple of beaten ups taxis, which were extremely grateful. It was a horrendous ordeal! We weren't offered any water or any compensation or acknowledgement of what we had been through!
At $30 per person, 18 on the boat.... do the maths! Someone is taking the p*** big time.
I'm only grateful that I survived it!
12 hours later I arrived at my hotel!

It really is fraude! Bought sleeping bus from Siem Reap to Bkk which was meant to leave at 2am and arrive at 10am. At 2am a sleeping bus came to pick us up, but it was only for 3h, it then dropped us to the border 30 minutes before the boarder check was even open. 1 hour later, after all the passport check was done we had to look for the same company ok the other side of the border to get us to bkk as the sleeping bus was long gone. We then ended up in a little bus to bkk which was anything but what we paid for.
Sleepless night and poor service! Hope you read this before booking anything with them.

Echo what everyone else has said. Wish I read these before travelling. It too us 11 hours door to door between BB and SR and cost $30 for first transfer and boat trip. They dropped us off 39 minutes away from SR and we had to take the tuk tuks available. They started at $8 each but when we complained dropped to $6 each. Just be aware before you book. It is a long and uncomfortable trip. The scenery is lovely but only for the first couple of hours. Then it becomess boring.
Mary Clarkson — Google review
The boat is different than that pictures on promotional material. The boat trip is very long, uncomfortable, and loud.
Bring some cushions to put on the seats, and also ear plugs to dampen the sound of the engine.
The trip was an experience, but it's not a viable form of transport if you are assessing pure practicality.

Attention fraud! you get thrown off the boat 20km from Siem Reap in no man's land. Everything arranged. tuk tuk drivers are waiting on site and charge $5 per person to be taken to Siem reap. there are no other ways to get there. There is also no internet to call a vehicle with the Pass app. The boat it also not the same like on the picture.

It was a good way of getting close to the floating villages AND getting from Siem Reap to Battambang. It took us close to 9h in end of February 2020 due to dry season and we couldn't reach Battambang but stopped before it. No aircondition but airstream from boat speed (23km/h max). Boat had sun roof and a small hole-in-the-flor toilet. No drinks provided on board.
If you are looking for "local-kind-of-adventure" this is EXACTLY your thing. If not go by bus.
Startet at ~7am in Siem Reap by getting picked up at the hotel with a pick up truck (with what else?! 😁😁 )
Drove probably 40min to an harbor outside of Siem (at Siem Reap River). Went over the TonleSap to Sangker River. Lots of floating villages on this riverside. Nice to watch. 👍😎
Had "lunch" at 12 in boat stop. You might want to bring your own lunch.
After the lunch break the rivers gotten thiner and driving was not easy anymore. Jurney got a bit boring.
Reached a place close to Battambang finally at ~4pm. There a tuktuk has to be taken and paid to get to your hotel (paid 5$).

For me it is fraud!
I bought tickets from Battambang to Siem Reap. But, the driver stopped about 20km before Siem Reap, everyone had to get out and walk to the already waiting tuk tuks. For an inflated price you have to be driven into town for another $5. So in total I paid 35 euros for 6,5 hours on a small boat on which you can not move, with a short stopover and with fraud later.

Can only echo what other reviewers are saying! The journey itself was really enjoyable and felt like a good adventure - would rate that part 5 stars (other than the fact your bum gets quite sore as the seats are not well padded). However it was already a pricey mode of transport at $30 each, but we decided worth a punt for the fun factor, but then when the boat rocks up 45 minutes away from Siem Reap and you find out the tuk tuks are all charging the same amount - $8 per person - and no more than 2-3 people allowed in one tuk tuk ‘because of the weight with your luggage’! You’re stuffed as there is no internet or signal so you have no choice but to cough up - a sorry sting at the end of a fun day, a real shame. If we had been told in advance by our hotel, we could have at least tried to make an informed decision but it felt like a deliberate ploy. Overall the journey took 8 hours by boat, 9 including the tuk tuk part at the end.
Battambang Crocodile Farm is a secure environment where visitors can get up close with crocodiles of various sizes. The farm even has baby crocs that children can touch and feel their skin. A girl was thrilled to catch one in her hands and learned not to scare animals unnecessarily. While it's important to be aware of the danger of approaching large crocs, this well-organized farm offers an entertaining and educational experience for everyone.
Got what we came for, saw lot of crocs l, all looked healthy and well fed. Had mixed feeling about owners but in the end there wasn't anything totally wrong. Animals seemed well and we got what we came for for very little price 2$.

I visited as a part of a tour and I enjoyed my time there.
You can get on top of a tall wall and walk on the wall watching the crocodiles down there.
However, there is not safety net or fence. I see a bit of a safety risk.
You can also pose for a photo, with a baby crocodile in your hand.

An interesting experience to see how they keep and grow crocs for commercial sale. Elevated walkways had me slightly worried about toppling over the handrails into the enclosures, and wondering if the larger specimens could actually climb up. Not a huge place and I had finished in 10 minutes.

A very well laid out productive crocodile farm.
You will see crocs of all ages and will be allowed to hold one a few days old.
The owner's daughter speaks English very well.
They are very friendly so do pay them a visit!

Evil, cruel destination. Treated terribly the crocodiles. Severe animal cruelty for food and handbags. How this place exists in the 21st century is beyond me. Like going back 200 years in time. An absolutely shameful place in Cambodia. AVOID!

Took the kids here today and had the place to ourselves. Was concerned after reading other reviews that the owners English wasn't great.... But had no issues in communication. Plenty of crocs! Even got to hold some babies. So cheap for such a hands on experience. Would definitely recommend

The only good experience was holding a baby crocodile. The rest is more sad then anything. So many large crocodiles kept in small enclosures with very dirty water. There was even one dead one bloated and upside down floating in the water.
Another disappointing main attraction in battambang.

This place is mental, when we arrived we didn't expect this many crocs. Being this close to them and feeling as frightened as we were haha, super fun! $2 entree, $3 if you want to hold a baby croc. Only downside is that you're not really able to communicate with the owners so any questions you have can't be answered. Overall a really fun experience :)

It’s a safe place for Crocodiles tour in a close range. They have all different sizes who lay everywhere.
They even have a baby crocs for the small children to touch and feel the skin. My daughter was allowed to catch one of them in her hands and she was so proud of it after all.
It’s important to let her know the danger of getting close to the big croc, but at the mean time, she learned not to scare things while it’s not necessary.
If you are in Battambang, I suggest you should go and see them yourself.

Amazing seeing so many crocs and being so close to them. From babies to fully grown adults, was definitely an experience and all for just $2.

I honestly don’t understand how people give such a place good ratings. This is an absolute nightmare regarding animal welfare. And all the photos here show the crocodiles with cut off tails.
Ever wondered for what these crocodiles are raised there under these circumstances?
Please, don’t contribute to this.

Wow so many crocodiles and you get to hold a baby one. Had a lovely thrilling time for $2. You also get to walk around on yourself but there's a lot of sections with only one side of the rail so not for children or anyone with balance problems. Family run so she will answer any questions, she has children and chickens so if you all don't want to go in you can wait behind with them and just look at the baby crocs in a bucket :)

An actual farm chargjng a $2 entrance fee, not a tourist attraction. Be aware the pens are accessed by concrete walkways above the crocodiles with a rope seperating you from a fall... hang on to your kids! I enjoyed it
