The "Venice" is an innovative shopping center, which is also a kind of amusement park. This special attraction is located in Petchburi village near the city Hua Hin.
"Shopping villages" are a tourist attraction that has gained momentum in recent years in Thailand. For example, like the Palio center in Kao Yai or Asiatique in Bangkok, the capital. The concept is quite simple - instead of the usual malls and shopping boulevards that everyone knows, a theme is chosen that will be the setting of the place, usually it is a famous tourist destination from around the world. Of course there are also plenty of restaurants, fast food, bars, playgrounds for children and everything you would find in a normal shopping center.
In this case you guessed right - the theme of the place is the Italian city of canals. So, besides shopping, you can take pictures next to typical Venetian landscapes and well-known sites, for example like St. Mark's Square.
On a tour of the Venice complex you can see many colorful terraces, colorful houses, green gardens, statues, fountains, bridges, churches and there is even a supermarket with products imported from Italy. Right in the middle of the complex is the "Grand canal", a large 200-meter canal where you can sail in a gondola. All these give visitors an enjoyable Venetian experience in the heart of Thailand.
The Venice complex covers a huge area of over 70 dunams and is divided into 4 areas. Area number 1 is dedicated to food and drink and contains a variety of options for a meal, drink or light snacks. The second area is dedicated to local and international fashion stores. Area number 3 is a service complex and has everything you need - ATMs, bookstores, banks, supermarkets and even a spa. The fourth and last area is dedicated to art and design, with all that implies.
In addition, the complex has a small zoo, horse riding, a mini train, amusement park facilities and XNUMXD museums (for an additional fee), so that the children will not be bored either.
Entrance fee to the complex is 150 baht. Additional attractions such as canal cruises or entry to museums have an additional cost of 50-150 baht.
Opening hours: every day, 10:00-23:00. To avoid a rush of visitors, you should visit during the week (and not on weekends).
