Nong Nooch Garden
The famous Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden is perfect for adults as well as for families with children, as the park offers numerous activities, shows and themed gardens especially designed for younger visitors.Originally planned as a plantation, the owners transformed the area into a breathtaking tropical landscape as part of a wildlife and plant conservation project. In 1980, Nong Nooch Botanical Garden Pattaya was officially opened to the public and has since become one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in Thailand. Visitors can explore a wide variety of tropical and subtropical plants, themed gardens, cultural shows and lake landscapes. The entire area is designed with inspiration from well-known structures and garden styles from different countries, making it a highlight for Thailand sightseeing tours. A visit to Nong Nooch Garden offers a fascinating overview of Asia’s rich flora in a short amount of time and is one of the best day trips from Pattaya for families, couples and nature enthusiasts.
Dinosaurs everywhere you look
No, you are not in the movie Journey to the Center of the Earth or Jurassic World, and you certainly won’t be eaten by monsters. The impressive creatures you see here are beautifully crafted replicas. You are in the famous Nong Nooch Garden Pattaya, where you can admire an extraordinary variety of realistic dinosaur figures in the popular Nong Nooch Dinosaur Valley. Dinosaurs existed in countless shapes and sizes: some were herbivores, others were carnivores; some walked on two legs, others on four; some could even hop or run at incredible speeds. Even today, the crocodile is considered one of their closest living relatives. Many dinosaurs protected themselves with armour, horns, bone plates, shields or large back sails that helped them during fights and served as a defence mechanism.Here at Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden, you can explore an impressive collection of life-sized dinosaurs, recreated with remarkable attention to detail. This makes the Dinosaur Park Pattaya a highlight for families, dinosaur fans and visitors interested in prehistoric life.
Cycads
The Nong Nooch Garden Pattaya is internationally known and recognised, and has become one of the world’s most important scientific centres for cycads. The garden even maintains its own cycad gene bank, making it a key research and conservation site for this ancient plant group. The garden focuses on cycad species from Southeast Asia, tropical America and Central Africa, and holds an extensive collection that includes almost every known species. Visitors can explore these rare plants up close during their visit.Cycads are seed plants with a long fossil history and were once far more widespread and diverse than today. Due to habitat loss and environmental changes, many cycad species are now endangered. Working closely with conservation authorities, Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden plays a crucial role in cycad conservation, supporting global efforts to protect this ancient plant lineage. Continuous research at the garden in the fields of taxonomy, propagation and horticulture has significantly expanded global knowledge about cycads and strengthened the garden’s reputation as a leading centre for botanical research in Thailand.
Cactuses
Upon arrival at the Nong Nooch Garden Pattaya, you will first be taken on a guided tour through the extensive grounds in an electric vehicle. You can choose between the large electric sightseeing bus shared with other visitors or a private golf car, which is available at an additional cost. The bus makes several stops at the main themed areas, allowing you to explore the magnificent gardens and admire the impressive variety of plant species. During your Nong Nooch sightseeing tour, you will discover numerous replicas of traditional Chinese-style buildings, beautifully designed French and Italian gardens, a recreation of Stonehenge, and many other architectural highlights. Scattered throughout the garden are countless animal sculptures and artistic installations, creating the impression of a lively and diverse animal kingdom.For classic car enthusiasts, Nong Nooch also features an exciting classic car museum with more than 60 vintage vehicles of various makes and eras — a true highlight for automobile lovers visiting Pattaya.
Nong Nooch Garden Shows
When hunger sets in, we visit the restaurant, which offers an excellent buffet with a wide variety of dishes — including many options for vegetarians and Muslim guests. Lunch is, of course, included in the tour price; only drinks need to be paid for separately. Afterwards, you will experience several of the popular Nong Nooch Garden shows, which take place throughout the large complex.
