Reviews

A Visual bonanza for the culture tourists

Muang Boran offers a feast to your eyes and for those who likes architecture. It is a gorgeous place that absorbs you with its presentation of the architecture, of the dazzling colour and the variety of the exhibiting structures, ranging from temples, to stilted houses to an old market (with puppet show theatre) .
Whether it is the five-headed dragon boat or the royal barge procession or the Guan Yin, goddess of mercy or the Chinese folk lore of the eight saints crossing the ocean, or simply a market place or northern villages, there is so much to learn and enjoy. It is also thought-provoking though description of the places are not very detailed.
We used a golf buggy to move around and still we had to be selective as there was simply too much to take in and too many places to take great snaps.
Price is not cheap and it is two-tiered : one for residents and another for foreigners.
The only downside is the F&B provisions. There is no food served inside (maybe due to Covid) and the drinks offered are limited in choices. So bring your own if you are picky. Be prepared to spend at least half a day , and could be more if there are more shady places to sit around and enjoy some refreshment.
All in all, a great place for a culture tourist, not for a thrill seeker.
Very cool place

Palaces, markets, houses, temples, even entire villages recreated. Many actual sized though most of the larger palaces and temples are to scale. Our tour guide explained many things like what were the unique architectural styles of each region or some of the mythology. I wish there had been more of that but it was a very enjoyable visit to “humanities largest outdoor museum”.
Nice day out in a relaxing atmosphere

Great place this. Beautiful grounds and big enough to spend at least 3 hours, but I see no problems doing a full day here if wanted.

Bicycles are very old and they should start to renovate or replace them.

When I visit the floating market was sadly under renovations. But it looks like it will be great once done.

A solid 4 if no renovations and a 5 if the bicycles was replaced or the golf cars was cheaper to rent. Instead of rent per hour should be half day or full day price.
