Despite the fact that this park is located on the territory of the Asian part of Thailand, it is not difficult to guess that in style it copies the famous French gardens of Versailles. This strange combination of Nong Nooch is associated with Mrs. Nong Nooch Tansaka, who, after a long journey through Europe, decided to adopt some traditions.
Construction history
As you know, Mrs. Nong Nooch Tansaka loved the elegant French gardens, which awakened in her a passion that had gripped her from the first days of her stay in France. And on arrival home in 1954, the lady was allocated a huge territory, which she previously wanted to give up for vegetable plantations, to build a park of unprecedented beauty.
Tourism
So this man-made miracle was born, which is now a good bait for tourists from all over the world. In addition to a huge collection of orchids, various trees and butterflies, Nong Nooch boasts incendiary holidays, the opportunity to ride elephants and other small joys for vacationers.
Not only foreigners, but also Thais come to see Nong Nooch. Many of them consider it their duty to visit this wonderful place that has made their country famous at least once in their lives. Recall that Nong Nooch in Pattaya, which was a small fishing village during the construction of the park, is now a world-class resort. Therefore, a visit to Nong Nooch is not difficult for those who have already gathered here.
Dimensions and Features
Only in this park there are about 600 hectares (1500 aсres) of various botanical gardens, and every day it is visited by more than 2000 people! Just imagine how many people a year could see this amazing place!
List of Gardens and Parks
The park has “Orchid Garden”, “Cactus Garden”, “Butterfly Hill”, “Bird Garden”, “Pot Garden” (traditional Thai art), “Bonsai Garden”, “Blue Garden” (there are palm trees and ferns), “Elephant Farm”, “French Park”, “Fleet”, “Stonehenge”. The latter is just a model of famous structures located in the UK.
By the way, the entire park received a tourist orientation only in the 1970s, when it was decided to build bungalows for rent, swimming pools, restaurants and banquet halls on its territory.
