If six hours in transit at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport more than 6 and no desire to sit around the airport all day, there are a number of landmarks, the trip is a short taxi ride away and finally break the boredom of a short stay. A very interesting and unique, is near the "Old Siam" (formerly known as the Old Town). Called Mueang Boran in Thai, is a cultural park over 200 acres and is recognized as goodwilllargest open-air museum in the world.
The park is built in the shape of Thailand and the houses rebuilt replicas 116 architectural monuments and attractions. Each of the parking structures that are in it is geographically correct position in the Thailand-shape. Some of the buildings are life-size, while others are resized. 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 in an extraCost (1500 baht).
The architecture on display throughout the park is absolutely incredible, a lot of it quite difficult to find today in Thailand. Apart from a few large prints such as the floating market, the reclining 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 you have friends or ThaiRelatives to take, it would be difficult to see during your stay.
Old Siam is really very beautiful and is so great that you have a quiet day roaming or cycling, and spending only to run into someone from time to time. Bicycles and even bicycle seats 2 and 3 can be rented at the park for 50 baht each (100 and 150 baht respectively for Duo and triple-bikes).
The park is located about 15 km from the airport and can be reached in 40 minutes. Admission is 300 BahtAdults and 150 baht for children. E '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 now houses more than 60,000 crocodiles, and the diversity of salt and freshwater. You can see elephants, chimpanzees and other animals such as gibbons, turtles, boas see, pythons, birds, camels, hippos and many species of fish. There is also a tigerchains, that your photos.
The park is open: 7:00 18:00 and watch the shows are now carried out by a clock 09:00 17.00 clock, where Handler captured crocodiles with his bare hands, fight with them and even put their hands and head inside the gaping crocodiles' We also. elephant shows with shows every hour from 9.30 bis 16.30 clock.
Be warned that this zoo is great Flack by some tourists because of the way in which animals are treated withsmall enclosures without secondary barriers of cement. Advances in zoo design have certainly not yet arrived in Thailand and if you are sensitive about things you might want to skip the zoo.
In summary, if you have between eight to twelve hours, the old Siam Park is an excellent choice for the exterior, have a relaxing time and a bit 'of Thailand. If you have a shorter period and, if you have the stomach for it, we can consider the crocodile and the zoo.Both sites are close by and can take a taxi to the airport in just over half an hour. Be sure to see new tour for transit passengers' desks in the hall of the airport transfer, check whether these objectives offered as a tour. Then you can avoid paying the airport tax of 700 baht when you re-check-in for the flight to coincide with the tour.
