My high school friends came to visit and what good way to introduce the entirety of the country is to send them to Ancient Siam. Ancient Siam was built to serve as a tool to encourage people to learn about the history of Thailand. Founded by Lek Viriyaphan, the place was aimed to make national traditions and culture which are the foundation of Siamese civilization known to the world.
Allow me to introduce some of Ancient Siam's highlights. |

"To build a hill, a lump of earth has its own value." This can be compared to a traveler. Each step contributes and has its own value. To complete the building of one hill, it has to depend on the first lump of earth. To reach the end of the journey, it has to depend on first step. P. Viriyaphan
Wow...super cool post :)
ReplyDeleteThat quote is awesome !
Marami po palang mga reclining buddhas? akala ko isa lang yun..
ReplyDeleteGanda! Ganda namn dito! Parang nasa ibang dimension.
I am reminded to shove away my fears: To reach the end of the journey, it has to depend on first step.
sana minsan mapuntahan ko ang place na yan
ReplyDeleteHi Rajiv,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. The quote is indeed very good!
Hi yccos,
ReplyDeleteOo naman, mga replicas lang kasi yan. The entire place is a showcase of what you can find in the entirety of the Kingdom. They are of a smaller scale compared to the real ones.
First step then each step, then big leaps.
Sige Rix,
