The moment we saw this song from the Tamil movie Mariyaadhai, we were pretty impressed with the location where the song was filmed. That set us in the path to discover this beautiful location. Looks amazing from whichever angle you look at it. Given the proximity of Thailand to India and the relatively inexpensive cost of film-making there, it comes as no surprise to us that so many of our films these days are shot in this country.

About the location (from Wiki):
Ancient Siam / Muang Boran is a park constructed under the patronage of Lek Viriyaphant and spreading over 200 acres in the shape of Thailand. The founder’s original idea was to create a golf course with miniatures of Thailand’s historically significant structures spread around the course. During his research he found most structures being severely damaged over time and decided instead of creating new miniatures to save the original structures when possible or re-creating them full size or scaled down.

Ancient Siam is dubbed as the world’s largest outdoor museum. Situated close to the Crocodile Farm in Samut Prakan province, the 320-hectare city features 116 structures of Thailand’s famous monuments and architectural attractions. The grounds of Ancient Siam correspond roughly to the shape of the Kingdom, with each of the monuments lying at their correct places geographically. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are scaled down.
