Mini Siam in Pattaya can take you around the world not in 80 days – more like 80 minutes if you’re quick! The Park behind the Pattaya Boxing World stadium is home to nearly 100 replicas of famous sites worldwide – from the Temple of the Emerald Buddha to the Statue of Liberty – all displayed at a scale of 1:25. It is the perfect place to try and play Gulliver’s Travel. Founded in 1985 as part of a research project, Mini Siam’s 46,400-sqm area is divided into two distinct zones, namely Mini Siam and Mini Europe (which is the rest of the world), separated by a small serpentine ‘river’ that you can just step across. The vast manicured grounds, peppered with water features and man-made sculptures modelled after the world’s iconic landmarks, feel like a true global village.
