If
you happen to visit Pattaya in Thailand, one of the city’s attraction that you
may include in your itinerary is this outdoor themepark named Mini Siam.
Located along Sukhumvit Road north of Pattaya, it contains replica of the world’s and Thailand’s famous landmarks
and monuments.
Built
in 1985, the park has shown its age but still some of the structures are in
good condition and the whole area is aptly maintained. Because there are a lot
of them, the structures can be viewed in group for you not to miss any one of
the structures. There are a lot of these famous landmarks in miniature and it
would be quite tiring and time consuming if you view it up-close one at a time.
One
thing I have noticed about the miniatures was the attention to detail, the
structures specifically the famous buildings are a real good reproduction of
the actual, the builder artists must be well skilled.
The
themepark is divided into two areas, the first one is Siam Europa that contains
not only from Europe but also from other parts of the world. The other half which is bigger in size and
numbers of miniatures on display is the Siam
Mini that features the famous landmarks of various parts of Thailand.
Here’s
some of the miniatures that highlighted in the Siam Europa.
Then
this area is where the monuments and landmarks found all over Thailand.
Siam
Mini is located at 387 Moo 6 Sukhumvit Road, Pattaya City. It is open everyday
from 7:00am to 10pm. Entrance to the park costs 300 baht for foreigners.
