Thailand | JapanMS, ChinaMS, TaiwanMS, and MapleSEA |
Siam, like the other Original Areas, is made up of several towns. The Floating Market is based off of the real floating market in Thailand's cities. The Golden Temple, the second town, is a Buddhist temple located deep in the jungle.
Note: Thailand maps for ThailandMS and MapleSEA had been heavily modified and some of the images on this page display these older versions.

Town/Area
Floating Market
Poisonous-looking frogs and toads hop in puddles of water. Ligator and Croco march around on platforms and underwater in abundance. Black and white chickens resembling those found in Shanghai wander back and forth. Salamanders walk around, and the red ones fire magical tongue attacks. At the end of the swampy area, ladders lead to a number of the strongest monster, Python. It has a magic attack that can be dangerous. Unlike all other World Tour Areas, Thailand's Floating Market does not feature a boss. Floating Market is also unique in that it's one of the only areas outside Aqua Road where you can go underwater. In the water, some fish that can't be attacked are seen swimming, chomping their jaws menacingly. 10 damage is taken for every few seconds of time spent standing underwater. Similar to some Jump quests, there are platforms that are used for transportation. Some of these appear to be solid, although those with a flower growing on top are not, and cannot be stood on. It can be quite tricky to the casual visitor.
Thailand is part of the World Tour, and can be reached through Spinel in all available versions. In MapleSEA, the equipment here is sold at lower prices compared to other towns, and there are some higher level items not sold by regular store NPCs.
Golden Temple
The Golden Temple is a small town in a rain forest centered around a Buddhist temple. There are many NPCs, selling a variety of items ranging from the everyday potions and weapons to newly created ones, only available here. The temple itself has seemingly been overrun by powerful statues that have come to life. Overall, the town is much stronger than Floating Market, and the level of monsters increases radically as one walks from Floating market towards the Temple.
The jungle nearby has quite a few monkey monsters. To reach the Temple, players must pass through these monsters by walking from the Floating Market. The Rough Monkeys are the first to be encountered, providing a challenge to lower leveled explorers. After this, the Mom & Baby monkeys can be found. Only about 4 maps stand between Floating Market and the temple. On the other side of the town, more monkeys can be found. The white monkeys do not appear until the last map.
In the temple itself, the statues have come alive and attack players attempting to reach the end. The statues are amongst the strongest monsters in the game. Finally, players reach the boss of the town, the incredibly powerful Evil Spirit Giant, which has 6 arms similar to Zakum.
