Mallika R.E. 124 is a unique cultural heritage town located in Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province. The attraction faithfully recreates Siamese life during Rattanakosin Era 124 (1905 AD), shortly after the abolition of slavery during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). Visitors can experience how ordinary Siamese people lived during one of the country's most important periods of social transformation.
The beautifully recreated town features traditional Thai houses, an ancient marketplace, a city tower, a revolving wooden bridge, riverside buildings, and authentic period architecture. Guests are encouraged to wear traditional Thai costumes and exchange modern currency for Satang, the historical currency used throughout the town to purchase traditional food, desserts, handicrafts, and souvenirs, creating a truly immersive journey into the past.
In addition to exploring the town, visitors can enjoy traditional Thai cultural performances, folk entertainment, handicraft demonstrations, and authentic Thai cuisine prepared using historical recipes. Throughout the day, the town offers interactive experiences that highlight Thailand's customs, architecture, arts, and everyday lifestyle during the early 20th century.
Combining history, culture, education, and photography, Mallika R.E. 124 is one of Kanchanaburi's most distinctive attractions. It is an ideal destination for families, school groups, international visitors, and anyone wishing to discover the charm of old Siam through an engaging and immersive cultural experience.
