Introducing Mallika R.E. 124: A Journey Through Time

"A city of culture and way of life"

Mallika City is a historical park that recreates the lifestyle of Siamese people living in the Chao Phraya River basin during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). The year 1881 (R.S. 124) marked a significant turning point in Siamese society, particularly with the abolition of slavery. Newly freed slaves had to adapt to a life of self-reliance, no longer under the control of their former masters. They had to learn to survive, support themselves, and coexist with other members of Siamese society. This transformation in their way of life laid the foundation for the modern Thai identity.

The Grandest Stage: Unveiling the Secrets of the "Reuan Moo"

The "Reuan Moo," a magnificent structure within the historical haven of Mallika City, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Thailand. This grand edifice, once reserved for welcoming esteemed guests and dignitaries, offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the country's elite.

In an era where affluent households boasted their own troupes of skilled dancers and musicians, the "Reuan Moo" served as a stage for showcasing the artistry and grace of traditional Thai performing arts. This architectural marvel, now recognized as the largest of its kind in Thailand, embodies the vibrant spirit of Thai culture, where entertainment and hospitality intertwined seamlessly.

Stepping into the "Reuan Moo" is akin to stepping back in time, immersing oneself in the world of "Naat Silp," the captivating art of Thai dance. The intricate details of the structure, from the ornate carvings to the meticulously crafted furnishings, whisper tales of a bygone era, where elegance and artistry reigned supreme.

The "Reuan Moo" stands not only as a physical structure but also as a symbol of Thailand's enduring love for its cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions that have shaped the nation's identity. As visitors marvel at the grandeur of the "Reuan Moo," they are transported to a world where art and life intertwined, creating a tapestry of beauty and cultural richness.

Aerial view

After a day of exploring, we heard that there was another highlight not to be missed in Mallika City.

It was a dinner in the Ruem Moo, an ancient-style dinner with a special performance of Khon."

Walking up, I couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" This is an incredibly magnificent and spacious Thai house.

Thai musicians are ready.

This is an ancient meal from here.

Traditional Thai Dinner (Evening Meal)

The dishes include crispy rice noodles, chili paste, spicy curry, steamed fish in banana leaf, massaman curry, and pickled mango. Mallika City chose these dishes to allow the younger generation to taste the wisdom of Thai ancestors, which are difficult to find nowadays or have been modified significantly. The cooking methods for each dish are very complicated, making them unfamiliar to most people as it is increasingly difficult to find people who know how to cook them. In addition, there is a special appetizer for dinner, "Khao Tang Na Tang," an ancient recipe for everyone to enjoy.

Price includes unlimited refills of rice, mixed fruits, and drinks (plain water). Excludes refills of "Khao Tang Na Tang" appetizer. Great value!

The Khon performance has begun. Enjoy the show while you eat.

Concluding with a memorable photo with the actors.
