MiniSiam in Pattaya can take you around the world, not in 80 days – more like 80minutes, 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. Itis 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 actually 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 modeled after the world’s iconic landmarks, feel like a true global village
