Samut Prakan is located around 40km south east of Bangkok and it is a nice place for one day trip. The Muang Boran Ancient City is a place we must visit in this area. It is a very big museum park occupying over 200 acres in the shape of Thailand. The museum features more than 100 structures of Thailand's famous monuments and architectural attractions. These monuments are built and located geographically following the shape of Thailand. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are scaled down. Since the park is too big to be covered by foot, it is advisable to rent the buggy which can carry 4 persons. We can operate the buggy on our own and we took 4 hours to cover the museum. For a more detail viewing of the museum may take up to 6 hours. There are many beatiful structures in nice surroundings for photography. Other places of interest that can be included in this day trip are the nice Wat Asokaram (temple), watching many sea gulls at Bangpu Recreation Centre, the huge reclining Buddha of Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang and the giant three headed elephant statue at Erawan Museum.

Last two times when we visited bkk, we actually wanted to visit but was not in our first choice! This trip, we actually wanted to postpone our visit again as we thot it is just another ordinary museum, but we are wrong. The place is beautiful, the stained glass roof top, the intricate stairways, the beautiful landscape garden, the peace... Make sure you climb all the way to the top for a great surprise!! ???? Recommended!

Take the big ferry to ratchawongse 15baht and then the cross river ferry to Ding Daeng 6baht. Walk through ferry terminal to street and catch Aircon bus 20 . There are non aircon but you would regret it. Air bus is 25baht will take you to the chedi, end of the line. There are a couple of cheap eats when you get off the bus. Chedi is ok but walk over the high bridge and along the boardwalk to the fort . After your visit... Opposite the boardwalk you will see a ferry ,to get to it go back over the bridge walk up the street and on the left you will see a market. Walk through the market to the ferry 6baht ferry ride to Pak nam market across the river. We came back the same way but you could go back from there. You work it out. All day trip. The fort is under renovation but is still open. Nobody bothers you and you can climb and crawl all over it. Some big guns. Brilliant. Makes a change from stay out,don't touch,not allowed.
