Good and Bad Experience

Arawan Museum is 11 km away from Ancient City, and you are on your own to get from one location to another. This package was very deceiving, and the walk from the Chang Awaran BTS skytrain takes about 15 minutes and is in a very bad part of town, leaving my husband and I feeling rather unsafe. Due to this, we missed Ancient City, and the buffet that we purchased. Arawan Museum is beautiful and we enjoyed it very much, so at least that part was great.

No good

I bought a combination ticket but when I got to the ancient city the ticket was no good. A big disappointment. And I had to pay for another ticket

Okay.

Online ticket cheaper than on site. You have to exchange the coupon for a paper ticket once you arrive but it's easy to find. Nice activity to take pictures (there is a small museum under the elephant base with AC if ever;) )

Operator response

It’s great to know you had a good time exploring and taking photos, and we’re glad you found the museum under the elephant for a cool break!
