I definitely recommend it. The scenery is beautiful. We rented golf carts as a group of four friends and enjoyed the trip. Golf carts cost 200 baht and are well worth it (you need a driver license). They provide a tour map, which includes 122 different areas. The tour takes an average of 4-5 hours.

I would recommend visiting ancient city. However, the on-counter ticket price would be higher including transit. And I would suggest to come via BTS train till Keha station. And then take tuk-tuk which only cost 10 Baht, which will drop you very near to ancient city. Unless you are in a group through, this will save you money. For me booking was done on Klook which included combined ticket for An...

It's a very wide and beautiful park. Convenient to roam around since they have golf carts and bikes for rent. The temples may not be the real deal but look breath-taking nonetheless.

I reported it to the reception minutes after I noticed my ph...

Nice place. Fascinating. The park is beautiful and the buildings are very large and super detailed. The ticket price of 7-800 bath is justified considering the cost to build everything. However, some of the main attractions were lacking a bit of maintenance. I remember it was nicer 6 years ago when I last visited. There were also fewer people there this time.
