The Nongnooch Tropical Garden & Resort is one of the must-see
places in Thailand. It's located about 20 km to the south from Pattaya.
Among tourists it is also known The Park of Orchids.
It occupies a huge territory of some hectares in the picturesque valley
surrounded by the mountains. This tropical garden with beautiful and
always green landscape - achitecture compositions is a true masterpiece
of the landscape design. The Nongnooch is also a botanic garden, one of
the largest in Asia.
Here you may see a great variety of tropical plants. The garden of
orchids, the cacti garden, where are collected cacti of all possible
shapes, types and sizes - some of them are very huge. The garden has a
wonderful gallery of palm trees. On the territory is a garden of
butterflies with a farm to keep their population, because, as we all
know, the life span of the insects only a couple of weeks. And there is a
little zoo here too with quite exotic animals.
The garden is rather well-planned, there are arbours and pavillions.
One may even see the British Stonehenge, though the copy is not so
large, it looks good and fits into the landscape in the best way, and
the French park ... is just fantastic! And, of course, various
sculptures, fountains, lanes...
One of the zoo residents, but it's already another story...
