Those touring Thailand, should invariably include this garden in their 'must see' list. Amazingly beautiful sceneries and spectacular views combine to create a magical and fairytale atmosphere of a different king.
Originally, conceived as a fruit plantation site, the sprawling 500 acres area was bought by Mr. Pisit and Mrs. Nongnooch Tansacha in 1954. But having seen some beautiful gardens on her many trips around the world. Mrs. Nongooch was inspired to create a beautiful tropical garden on her own, complete with ornamental flowers and plants.

The garden was thrown open to the public in 1980. Since its inception, the garden has been attracting a large number of visitors. The garden today is hugely popular, and attracts more than 2,000 visitors per day. Keeping its popularity in mind, the garden endeavours to constantly keep on improving so that one can have great time even if he or she is not a first time visitor.
