All the landscapes in Thailand are ready (Part 1)

I have written about the Erawan Museum of Mr. Lin, a Thai-Chinese, before. Next, let's take a look at another masterpiece of his, the 'Ancient City of Siam 72 Prefectures'! The 'Prefecture' in Thailand is similar to the 'Province' in our country. Mr. Lin is very passionate about Thai art and history. When he saw that traditional Thai historical sites were gradually disappearing, he began to have the idea of rebuilding typical Thai historical culture. On this 80-hectare plot of land, which is almost the same shape as Thailand, he invested 1 billion Thai baht and started construction in 1963. After more than ten years, he built this 'largest outdoor museum in the world', which reduced and replicated 116 famous buildings and monuments from all over Thailand (72 prefectures) here. Although it took a long time to build, the maintenance work here is very well done. The exteriors and interiors of the buildings are very clean and tidy, and there are no dead leaves or debris on the large lawns. Although they are miniature landscapes, each independent building is not small. If you want to rent a battery car from the entrance of the scenic spot, it will probably take a small day. I signed up for a private car tour, so I can drive in. It took nearly four hours to finish the tour. With the ticket, you can also have a free buffet lunch in the restaurant in the park. There are many dishes, six or seven kinds of snacks and fresh fruits. The scenic spot is very conscientious. I thought about it, I didn't want to say it, but we Chinese people really should improve our quality when we travel. Smoking in non-smoking areas, making a lot of noise in public places, telling some nonsensical jokes, and going straight into the main hall of the temple with shoes on... These are all things done by our Chinese people. The Thai guide looked at me, and I was very embarrassed! Yes, we Chinese people are rich, have money, and have purchasing power, but we are also a country of etiquette. I hope everyone can be a civilized and polite Chinese when they go out to play!
