the Queen Sirikit Botanical garden in Thailand

There is now certainly a large number of some of the most exquisite flower gardens in Thailand. Thanks to the input and financial commitment made by the Thai Royal Family, the old way of framing via slash and burn methods are now a thing of the past. More emphasis has been placed on bio-sustainability and bringing the tourist dollar to the farthest Northern areas of the country in order to keep them financially viable, and free from having to adopt the old farming way again.

Some of the botanical gardens that can be found in Thailand are the Queen Sirikit Botanical garden, in Chiang Mai, the Non Nooch Tropical Garden on the coast, and the Dokmai garden also found in Chiang Mai. Whilst these are the only three listed botanical gardens there are most certainly an abundance of other non-botanical gardens throughout the region.


Because of the wonderful history that Thailand has with people settling from other far flung reaches of the globe, it can be reflected in many of the garden themes within Thailand. For instance, the Rose Garden has a decidedly Swiss inspired palace and very English garden that spreads over 70 acres.
Whilst many of the Chiang Mai gardens are to the North of Bangkok, they are in predominantly mountainous areas. This means the opportunity to see orchids that grow from the canopies of trees, hundreds of feet above sea level is possible at some of these venues.

Whatever your preference for visiting some of the worlds most beautiful gardens; be it ocean side at Non Nooch or mountainous locations such as Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, you are sure to find some wonderful specimens of not only Thai specific plants and flowers, but also a wonderful selection of other non- indigenous flowers from around the world.
