Like Her Ancient Siam Ancestors by Ryszard Wierzbicki
Located not so far from Bangkok an Ancient Siam City is the largest outdoor museum in the world spread over an area exceeding 200 acres. There are scaled-down replicas of Thailand’s most historic sites including temples, palaces, shrines, Buddha images, a floating market, an old market town, and several sculpture gardens. Here I had a chance to have a boat trip with a woman who looked exactly like her ancient Siam Ancestors.
