The province of Samut Prakan is home to a tourist attraction considered its most important sight: the Old City. This vast replica of a historical city covers an area of 800 rai and brings together numerous examples of Thai art and culture, including architecture and sculptures from prehistory to the Rattanakosin period.
It is a tourist attraction in the form of an open-air museum, collecting artworks and sculptures and offering a comprehensive insight into the art, culture, and way of life of Thais from various regions—North, Central, South, and Northeast Thailand—in past eras. The museum serves as a historical learning center to promote Thai people's understanding of their own culture and homeland. Construction began in 1963 under the direction of Mr. Lek Wiriyaphan, owner of Viriya Insurance. It opened on February 11, 1972.
Anyone traveling through Samut Prakan should definitely visit the ancient city.
