Thai Human Imagery Museum
It is the first museum of fibreglass human images of Thailand. The main sculptures feature famous Buddhist monks of Thailand, the kings of the Chakri dynasty, traditional Thai lifestyles and Thai children's games.
Ancient City (Muang Boran)
Ancient City, covering about 320 acres, is the world's largest outdoor museum, and presents about 100 scaled-down replicas of Thailand's historic monuments and works of art. The structures are sited orderly in accordance with their geographical locations from the northern to the southern parts. Though it takes an entire day to cover the area, it's worth a visit, especially for those who don't have enough time to tour the real places.
Ko Kret
This islet, which is worth a one-day visit, is home of a Mon community that immigrated from their homeland in Burma more than 300 years ago. The islet is well known as a centre of earthenware production -- the Mons' inherited art, and a market of authentic Mon-style pottery. An exhibit of local pottery and a demonstration of its making can be seen at the Ceramics Centre.
Apart from earthenware, here is also a centre of Thai desserts, many of which are of traditional kinds and rare to find elsewhere.
Another major attraction of Ko Kret is its ancient temples of the Ayutthaya period (1350 - 1767), e.g. Wat Paramaiyikawat, Wat Klang Kret and Wat Chimplee.
Safari World
Safari World is a drive-in zoological park divided into two parts. The first part is Safari Park, an open zoo with wild animals like zebras, deer, giraffes, tigers, lions, bears, elephants and others. While passing along the driveway, visitors can observe the animals living in a natural environment. The second part is the Marine Park where there are a variety of marine animals and shows of trained dolphins, birds, seals and apes. There are also several restaurants and game stalls. The park provides a coach service for visitors who do not drive in.
