Mini Siam in Pattaya is an open air miniature city with scale models of well known buildings from across the world. The outdoor park opened its doors in the late 1980’s. Across the large, well kept grounds are about 100 replicas of both historical and modern buildings on a 1:25 scale. At each structure is an information board providing details.

The park is divided into two zones. Mini Siam contains models of buildings in Thailand, while Mini Europe contains structures from Europe, the United States and the rest of the world.

It takes a couple of hours to walk around the extensive grounds. Apply sun cream and wear a hat during the hottest hours of the day. After dark the scale models are beautifully illuminated.
