Mini Siam Tours & Excursions

The Basics

Mini Siam is divided into two sections: Mini Siam (Thailand’s landmarks) and Mini Europe (international landmarks). The park features over 100 miniatures, each designed with great detail. The models are built to a 1:25 scale, and some of the most famous attractions like Wat Phra Kaew, Angkor Wat, and Statue of Liberty are on display. In addition to the miniatures, the park has beautiful gardens, ponds, and walking paths, making it a perfect place to relax while learning about the world’s architectural wonders in a unique way.

Things to Know Before You Go

Before visiting Mini Siam, it’s helpful to know that the park is mainly an outdoor attraction, so be prepared for walking, especially under the sun. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen, as much of the park is exposed to the elements. While it’s generally a family-friendly attraction, it may not appeal to those seeking more adventurous activities. Also, the park’s miniatures are best appreciated with a bit of background knowledge of the landmarks they represent, so keep an eye out for informative signs throughout the park.

How to Get There

Mini Siam is conveniently located on Sukhumvit Road in Pattaya, around a 10-minute drive from Pattaya Beach and the city center. It’s easy to get there by taxi, songthaew (shared pickup truck), or private car. The park is well-signposted, making it easy to find. If you’re staying in a hotel, many offer shuttle services or can arrange transport to and from the park. Public transportation like buses is also available from central Pattaya to the area.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Mini Siam is during the cool season, from November to February, when the weather is mild and comfortable for outdoor activities. The park can get hot and sunny, so visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon is ideal for avoiding the midday heat. It’s also less crowded during the weekdays, making for a more peaceful visit. The park is open year-round, though the rainy season (May to October) may bring occasional showers, so bring an umbrella just in case.

Day Trips from Pattaya

Mini Siam is a great addition to a half-day trip or a full-day itinerary in Pattaya. After exploring the park, consider heading to nearby attractions such as Nong Nooch Tropical Garden or the Sanctuary of Truth. For those interested in more cultural experiences, you can visit The Million Years Stone Park or the Pattaya Floating Market. After your visit, relax at Pattaya Beach or explore the vibrant Walking Street for nightlife and dining options.
