Exploring Mini Siam: A Journey Through the World's Wonders in Thailand

The scale of the models (approximately 1:25 of the original size) allows visitors to appreciate the intricate architectural details up close. It’s like taking a world tour without ever leaving Thailand!
The Zones of Mini Siam

Kids can enjoy the sense of wonder at seeing famous landmarks in miniature form, while adults will appreciate the craftsmanship and historical significance behind each model. The park is also a fantastic educational resource, giving visitors insights into the architectural styles and histories of different countries and cultures.
Tips for Visiting Mini Siam
Timing: Mini Siam is open from morning until evening, but the best time to visit is late afternoon. As the sun sets, the park lights up, giving the models a magical glow.
Photography: This is a photographer’s dream! The intricate details of each miniature landmark provide plenty of opportunities for creative shots.
Tickets: The entrance fee is affordable, and discounts are often available for children and senior citizens.

Phanom Rung, voorpost van Khmerhoofdstad Angkor
Phanom Rung, voorpost van Khmerhoofdstad Angkor
Ooit strekte het Khmerrijk zich uit van Cambodja tot diep in Thailand en Laos. Daar getuigen nog steeds de oude Khmerruïnes van, onder meer bij Buriram. Zoals het tempelcomplex Phanom Rung. Waar ik ook mijn voetstappen achterliet. Op mijn reis door de Isaan moest ik deze tempel aandoen, werd mij geadviseerd. Toen kende ik Angkor Wat in Cambodja nog niet en dit vond ik al indrukwekkend.

The latest winner of MTV’s Best K-Pop Artist, "Lisa,” or Lalisa Manoban, hails from Thailand. She is our national pride who has brought so much attention to her country and, of course, her hometown of Buriram. A metropolis in northeastern Thailand, Buriram is packed with exquisite historical sites. Among them is Prasat Hin Phanom Rung, where the Khao Phanom Rung Festival will take place grandly on 9-11 September. The fair will coincide with a round of light phenomena during which sunlight will shine through all 15 gates of the temple complex. #Amazingthailand#NewChaptersOfExperience

Phanom Rung is a Khmer temple dedicated to Shiva built in what was once part of the ancient Khmer Empire and today falls within the borders of the Thai province of Buriram. The full name of this site is Prasat Hin Phanom Rung, but it's usually referred to as Phanom Rung.
This complex was designed to make the most of the morphology of its location, so that the temple on top of the hill can be reached via an impressive staircase. This gives visitors the impression that this is not a hill, but a massive man-made building. Three naga bridges are located at the bottom, halfway, and top of the staircase. From the entrance, the walkway and the staircase combine to form a 524-foot (160-meter) long passage leading to the main temple.
Most of the complex was constructed using sandstone. Like most Khmer temples, however, special pink sandstone was used to build the 75-foot (23-meter) high tower. The entrance to the temple is decorated with motifs from the Hindu epic Ramayana. Throughout the complex are peaceful lotus ponds.
The most famous and easily recognizable part of the temple is the lintel at the entrance depicting a reclined Vishnu. This lintel was stolen in the 1960s and turned up as an exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. It took some lengthy diplomatic efforts to ensure the restitution of the piece, which took place in 1988.
Once a year, on April 13th, the sun hits the temple at a particular angle that allows sunlight to shine through the fifteen portals of the temple. A festival is also held annually on this date.

Tap Lang Narai Banthom Sin - Stone lintel depicting Viṣṇu Anantaśayina (who reclines on the great serpent Śeṣa) Padamanābha (who possesses a lotus issuing from his navel) - 1107 CE - Probably the most famous looting of historical artifacts in Thailand history. This stone lintel was stolen from the Prasat Phanom Rung around 1959-1565 during the time of Vietnam War. Thailand was used as a US military base and many ancient arts were stolen and later displayed in every major museums in the US. A few years later its disappearance, this stone lintel was found on display in the Art Institute of Chicago. After several rounds of mediation, it was safely returned to Thailand and placed back to its original site in 1988.
