Mini Siam is a miniature park gathering scale models of significant architecture in one place, split between a Thai section of temples and palaces and a world section of landmark buildings from other countries.

What the format gives you

The value of a scale model is that you can read a whole building's plan and proportions from angles the real thing never offers — a temple's roof structure, a palace layout, forms that otherwise need an aerial view.

Planning

• It is an open-air park — come early or late; midday is hot with little shade
• Allow one to two hours
• Wear walking shoes and bring water and a hat
• Check admission in advance
