muang borang (ancient city)

[roger101]

 My sister is coming to visit me next month and although she has been before we have never been to Muang Borang. What I need to know is the best way to drive there. Not necessarily the shortest or the quickest  but the easiest way.

Thank you

it's probably more about what time, and of what day of the week...

 

we went up there from SriRacha

got off the xpressway at Chonburi, to get onto the western end of sukhumvit road

 

the place is actually fronted onto sukhumvit rd itself.

 - all you then need to do is keep a look out for the correct bridge to turn right onto, to cross over the canal

This outdoor museum preserving traditional architecture ( Ancient Siam) is the best kept secret in Thailand. Opens at 9am; closes at 5pm. Entrance fee (700 baht /350 baht you have work visa) includes a bicycle for riding or one can rent a golf cart. Inexpensive Thai food at the floating market.

Burapha Withi expressway, then the Highway 9 ring road, exit at Sri Nakarin road and keep going south and turn left into Sukhumvit

 

Avoid Highway 7 as there are roadworks just after the Airport, long queues to get into the 9

 

on google maps

 

Taking the 'old' Sukhumvit all the way from Chon buri is a bit meandering but doable if you have the time and enjoy the sight of 'rural' Thailand

I agree its a very good place to visit  its just a real shame that they started the despicable double pricing 

it's certainly worth 300 baht...700 maybe maybe not

( I went with my wife and parents years ago and it was 50 baht per person then )

I remember visiting this place with my first ever Thai girlfriend way back in 1980. I may put it on the bucket list, especially the museum.
