The ancient city is a Mini-Thailand, a big open air museum situated 33 kms east
of Bangkok. In this project, surrounded by waterways and gardens, all major monuments
ranging from one third of original to actual size and even a 50 meters high mini-mountain
representing the Prasat Phra Viharn in the east of Thailand have been reconstructed,
and millions have been invested to rebuild the ancient Reception Hall of Ayuthaya.

Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while
others are one-third scale. (The Ancient City)
