Muang Boran - Gardens

There are seven gardens located throughout the site; areas of relaxation - surrounded by waterfalls, rocks and tropical flowers - representing the mythological world of Thailand. The "Garden of Gods", for example, has a bronze team of ten horses belonging to the Indian moon goddess Chandra, apparently flying over the waterfall. There is also the "Manohra Garden" depicting the beautiful girl with a bird's legs among her sisters.

Near the entrance is a Brahma shrine, the "Royal Stand", from which Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain attended the consecration ceremony in February 1972. There is also an interesting elephant kraal and a small zoo in an attractively laid-out park for children. Here elephants, game, gibbons and many species of exotic birds roam freely. The Floating Market in Ancient City has Thai wooden houses (partly reconstructed) built in the traditional style.
