If anyone really likes Doraemon and wants to see the hand-drawn image on paper (a replica of the real thing), you must come. We came on a weekday at noon and walked around alone, like we booked the whole trip. It took about 45 minutes, reading every sign and taking pictures from almost every angle. The entrance fee is 590 baht, which may feel a bit expensive compared to the time spent walking around, but we got a souvenir acrylic pin, which cost quite a bit. But overall, it was okay.

Although there were tourists from all over the world in our group, the tour guide explained the attractions to us in Chinese and English, and asked us if we had any questions about the attractions from time to time. He was very attentive and considerate.

It was a happy experience in a comfortable environment. We had the afternoon tea set. The male and female waiters took turns to introduce the food and the order of eating in a friendly and cordial manner. The guests in the same period included solo travelers, business gatherings, a few close friends, and our family tour. Everyone was very satisfied.

You can feel the sound of their gloves touching and their breathing up close. The sense of unity throughout the venue was also great. Highly recommended!
