All the landscapes in Thailand are ready (Part 3)

I have written about the Erawan Museum of Mr. Lin, a Thai-Chinese, before. Now it's time to turn to another masterpiece of his, the 'Ancient Siam of 72 Provinces'! The 'Province' in Thailand is similar to the 'Province' in our country. Because Mr. Lin is very fond of Thai art and history, when he saw that the traditional historical landscapes of Thailand were gradually disappearing, he began to have the idea of rebuilding the typical historical culture of Thailand. In this area of 80 hectares, which is almost the same shape as the territory of Thailand, he invested 1 billion baht, started construction in 1963, and after more than ten years, he built this 'largest outdoor museum in the world', which reduced and copied 116 famous buildings and monuments from all over Thailand (72 provinces) here. Although it took a long time to build, the maintenance work here is very good, the exterior and interior of the buildings are very clean, and there are no dead leaves and debris on the large lawn. It is a miniature landscape, but each independent building is not small. If you want to rent an electric car from the entrance of the scenic spot, it will probably take a small day. I signed up for a separate charter tour, so I can drive in. It took nearly four hours to finish the tour. With the ticket, you can also have a free buffet lunch in the restaurant in the park. There are many dishes, six or seven kinds of snacks and fresh fruits. The scenic spot is very conscientious. I thought about it, I didn't want to say it, but we Chinese people really should improve our quality when we travel. Smoking in non-smoking areas, making a lot of noise in public places, telling some nonsensical jokes, and going straight into the main hall of the temple with shoes on... These are all things done by our Chinese people. The Thai guide looked at me, and I was embarrassed! Yes, we Chinese people are rich, have money, and have purchasing power, but we are also a country of etiquette. I hope everyone can be civilized and polite Chinese people when they go out to play!
