 Stone
model of Persepolis which was made by some Thai artists will be displayed
for public visit in Pattaya’s Mini Siam “miniature city” in Thailand within
two months.
Mini Siam or Little Siam is a miniature city located in a very big park
in the northern outskirts of Pattaya with more than 100 models and replicas
of sacred places and important historical sites from around Thailand and is
one of the major tourist attraction sites of the city of Pattaya. In
addition the miniature recreations of many notable monuments from around the
world are also being displayed in Mini Siam such as Eiffel Tower, Statue of
Liberty and Abu Simbel.
This model of the historical palace of Persepolis was made by the
continuous efforts of the Iranian Embassy in Thailand, intending to
introduce Iran’s tourism attractions to the Thai people.
The ancient Palace of Persepolis, situated in Fars province, was the
capital of the Achaemenid Empire and was built by the order of Darius the
Great, the Achaemenid king in 518 BC. Persepolis is inscribed in UNESCO’s
World Heritage List.
