Mini Siam Pattaya in Chonburi, Thailand is a place you can visit and see the world in one day instead of spending months of traveling. It's a huge open area covering nearly a area of 12 acres, with well manicured gardens and about 100 miniature replicas all scaled at 1:25 of all the famous landmarks and historically buildings in Thailand, Europe, and around the world a great place for kids and adults to visit. There is a fee to enter this amazing miniature park, it will cost you $10 US (300 Baht) but worth every cent to see this place it will blow your mind away.
I will need to split this miniature park into a few posts or parts only because it would be impossible to show you 100 miniature scaled models in this one post. I when to visit this Mini Siam Park on Sunday arriving there just after lunch bought my ticket and made my way in, as I was walking in I knew already I was going to be in for a real treat, been covid period still, I took a quick look around the park and noticed, I was the only one visitor here apart from security and the Thai people maintaining the park, I had the whole place to myself but later about half dozen other Thai visitors turn up, I saw them there for a short time then left they couldn't handle the heat even with having umbrellas. I walked the whole park took my time got burned like a lobster but was worth every minute of seeing this amazing miniature world the work on these scaled models was just incredible to see the patience and hours that have gone into building these scaled models you could not imagine. My hats go of at the amazing people that worked on this project. I am not going to bore you with a lot of information most these scaled models you will all know just enjoy the detailed work in the photos.
