If six days in transit at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport to more than six hours and did not want everyone sitting around the airport there are a number of attractions, a short distance in a taxi and definitely breaks the tedium of your short stay. Very interesting and unique opportunity to close the airport is "Old Siam" (formerly known as the "old town). Called Mueang Boran in Thai, is a cultural park spread over 200 acres and is namedlargest open-air museum in the world.
The park is in the shape of Thailand and is home to 116 replicas reconstructed monuments and built architectural monuments of the city. Each of the structures are placed in geographically correct location within the park in the shape of Thailand. Some of the buildings are life-size, while others are drawn to scale. A day here will give you a grand tour through the history of Thailand and you can even opt for a private tour in English, although of course an additionalCosts (1500 baht).
The architecture on display throughout the park is absolutely incredible, a lot of very hard to find nowadays in Thailand. With some great reproductions as the floating market, the lying Buddha, the Pavilion of the enlightened and the Giant Swing and Brahman Temple, you can also see and walk through realistic depictions of Thai traditional villages, which still plenty of rural Thailand, but if not you have friends or Thairelatives to take you, it would be difficult to see during your stay.
Old Siam is really nice and is so great that you spend a quiet day roaming or running with the bike and only someone from time to time. Bicycles and even two bicycles and three seats in the park for 50 baht for (100 and 150 baht or be hired for Duo and Triple bicycle).
The park is located about 15 km from the airport and is reachable in 40 minutes. Admission is 300 BahtAdults and 150 baht for children. And 'open form 8:00 to 5:00 every day.
In the same area of the old Siam Park is the Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo. Built in 1950, was the first crocodile farm in Thailand and currently hosts more than 60,000 crocodiles, both species of freshwater and saltwater. You can see elephants, chimpanzees and other animals such as gibbons, turtles, boas, pythons, birds, camels, hippos and various species of fish. There is also a tigerchains with which you took your photo.
The park is open from 07:00 to 18:00 clock watch and watch shows are performed every hour from 09.00 to 17.00 clock, with a handler to catch crocodiles with bare hands to fight with them and even put their hands and heads into the jaws of the crocodiles' open. are also elephant shows with shows every hour from 9.30 a 16.30 clock.
warned that this zoo is a lot of flack from some tourists on the way animals are treated with itSmall enclosures without concrete barriers secondary. Advances in Zoo design have certainly yet to come to Thailand and if you Zoo sensitive to these things, you can move them.
In summary, if you have 8:00 to 12:00 hours, the old Siam Park is an excellent choice to get out, have a relaxing and even Thailand. If you have a shorter time, and if you have the stomach, you can check the crocodile farm and zoo.Both attractions are nearby and can take a taxi to the airport in just over half an 'hour. Be sure to check the transit of passengers hits new desks in the hall of the airport transfer, if these objectives offered as a tour. If so you can avoid paying the 700 baht airport tax when you re-check in for the flight ahead, taking the tour.
