BANGKOK — Meet mini Hoover Dam, mini Anfield Stadium and a mini railroad roundhouse. See the mini people go about their mini lives as Thailand takes modeling to the next level with a sprawling town at 1:87 scale in the Ekamai area this week.

 

Spanning over 1,000sqm on the second floor of the Gateway Ekamai shopping mall, Stanley MiniVenture will open Wednesday. The open space of buildings and models is billed as the first 1:87-scale miniature town in Thailand, and the largest in Asia.

Same price as Dinosaur Planet, I believe. What overpriced nonsense. It's the same reaction I had when I saw the menu at Wish Beer, 300+ to 400+ baht per pint. Seeing how busy both Dinosaur Planet and Wish Beer were recently, locals don't seem to be put off, though.

More money than sense is common

Guess the locals have money to spend. 

Penny pinchers, potless retirees and language teachers can remain outside 7/11 drinking their tasteless 49 baht fizzy beer

Are they going to add Nana Plaza, Soi 6 and Walking Street?

The 87,000m² space—about the size of 16 football fields  

 

This is the size of the miniature park in Japan....87 times larger than that one in BKK, how can they claim this to be the biggest one in asia?? Thailand only krab.

The Japanese park is 1:25, the Thai park is 1:87 and is supposedly the largest at this scale.
