What are the highlights of Mini Siam?
Mini Siam is founded in 1985 as a research part in Pattaya. The whole area is divided into 2 main zones including Mini Siam and Mini Europe which are separated by a small man-made river. As a result, you can reach Mini Siam just a step across the river from Mini Europe. Additionally, all the art pieces and sculptures in this place are modeled after famous landmarks all over Thailand and the World. Therefore, upon entering the Mini Siam, you may feel like you are wandering around mini Thailand and a mini world.
Crossing the entrance of Mini Siam, you will arrive at Eiffel Tower in French in the Mini Europe zone. After that, you can start the tour to many places from MerLion in Singapore, Tower Bridge in Eng land, the Cologne Cathedral in Germany to the Statue of Liberty in America. Mini Siam offers a board with the landmark name, country, and overview details about it for your information. As such, you may still have some knowledge about famous spots all over the world without visiting them in real life.
Stepping over the man-made river in Mini Europe, you will enter Mini Siam as known as Mini Thailand. The area brings to your eyes an overview of many iconic spots in many provinces of Thailand including the Royal Temple of Emerald Buddha, Wat Arun in Bangkok, the Bridge over the river Khwai in Kanchanaburi, and the Historical Park of Ayuttaya in Ayuttaya, etc. Visiting Mini Siam may enrich your knowledge about Thailand and its journey through many reigns such as Kingdoms of Lanna, Sukhothai, Ayutthaya to Rattanakosin (known as Bangkok).
