Undoubtedly, one of Thailand most complete destinations for the holiday seeker, Pattaya has grown from strength to strength in maintaining at the pinnacle of offering everything under the Thai sun. Its variety of beaches and islands within a short distance (aside from its proximity to Bangkok) and the ample options for a well-deserved break from it all comes with a plethora of travel options that offer that break one may need. A great example of what lies ahead forms the bridge of not having to travel around the world to see the magnificence of what the world has to offer. A morning excursion that brings you to the temples of Bangkok, the pre-Angkorian temple ruins of Prasart Him Phimai and much more…and all this in just half a day! A bird’s eye view over the sights of Thailand and beyond are now available at Pattaya’s Mini Siam.
The distances from your Pattaya based accommodation (conditions apply) may be short, but transfers from your overnight address to the entrance of Mini Siam are included in your stay. A driver will be ready at the lobby at around 08:30 hrs as he slowly will drive you towards your destination for this morning. Mini Siam is an outdoor museum, dedicated to showcase the finest sights of the Kingdom of Thailand and renowned world monuments of importance, all in miniature (constructed on a 1:25 scale). The museum’s well maintained walking ways offer visitors a unique perspective over what the country has to offer, and forms a bridge for those only having opted to stay in Pattaya without having to travel across Thailand. Be amazed by the distinguished craftsmanship of all the around 100 small constructions, even taking in account the detailed precision where examples of The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Bangkok’s Democracy Monument, the Bridge over the River Kwai and more are replicated to the finest details.
And it does not stop there…the magic of the collection of miniature replicas features outstanding architectural works all around the world. Get on eye level with the top of the Eiffel Tower, see the Statue of Liberty constructed as if you’re right next to it in New York or try to toss a coin into Rome’s Trevi Fountain. The morning will be gone before you know it and the impressions of seeing Thai masters in replication of all these impressive sights will leave you in awe. At the end of the morning, after you’ve completed your round around Thailand and the world, you will be comfortably transferred back to your accommodation.
