Inside the Ancient City itself, we had created a natural scenic oasis in the middle of heavily industrialized area. The best representation of how Thais people lived once before was preserved in the park enviroment and its architectures.

Our doors open to the heritage of Thai wisdom. With a wide range of architectural symbols combined with fine arts and craftsmanship, structural layout and natural environment that integrate harmoniously, The Ancient City creates kind of atmosphere that induces visitors to perceive and appreciate the continuity of history, cultures, religions, arts and customs of Thai people from then until now.

Just a visit to the Ancient City is comparable to a Thailand-round journey within a day. The layout preserves the pattern of traditional Thai lifestyles, which is hard to behold in the modern Thailand.

In close proximity to Suvarnabhumi Airport (40 mins drive). We are also located in the neighborhood of Bangkok City within an-hour travel distance, the Ancient City is accessible by many convenient routes. Accommodations and activity sites are also available on site.
