Samut Prakan, located just south of Bangkok, is a province known for its rich cultural heritage, historical sites, and unique attractions. Often referred to as the โGateway to the South,โ this province is perfect for those looking to explore Thai culture and nature without venturing far from the capital.
One of the highlights is the Ancient City (Muang Boran), the worldโs largest open-air museum, featuring replicas of Thailandโs most iconic structures and monuments, allowing visitors to explore the countryโs history and architecture in one location. Another must-visit is the Erawan Museum, famous for its gigantic three-headed elephant statue and beautifully decorated interior filled with ancient artifacts and Buddhist relics.
