The Pavilion of Enlightened is located in Ancient Siam (also known as Ancient City or Muang Boran), the world's largest open-air museum, located near the crocodile farm in Samut Prakan province, just outside Bangkok. This 320-acre "city" museum was built by Lek Viriyaphant and features 116 structures of Thailand's famous monuments and architectural attractions. The layout of Ancient Siam roughly corresponds to the shape of the kingdom, with the monuments geographically correctly placed. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, others are scaled-down models or creative designs not based on historical structures.
