Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden

The sprawling park at Nong Nooch (pronounced "nung nut") Village offers a variety of activities for all the family. Walkways wind among colorful themed gardens, including a topiary garden; a 17th-century French garden; a European Renaissance garden; and species-specific gardens featuring plants like tropical palms, succulents, and bonsai.

The magnificent orchid garden will awaken the inner horticulturist in anyone. Live shows at the Thai Cultural Hall add to the line-up with performances of traditional Thai dancing, sword-fighting, Thai kickboxing, and an elephant show of dubious ethical quality.
