Nong Nooch Tropical Garden

Two man-made lakes and more than 500 acres of exquisitely manicured gardens, including gardens dedicated to bonsai, cactus, palms and bromeliads, and a hothouse for orchids and ferns, make this one of the most attractive tourist resorts in the province. Shows three times a day at the Thai Cultural Center feature martial arts, indigenous sports, hill tribe music and dance, a Thai wedding ceremony, a Buddhist ordination ceremony, and performances by trained elephants. At the small zoo you can have your picture taken with a baby tiger, elephant, chimpanzee or parrot, and there is also a small exhibition of Thai antiques. Visitors have a choice of restaurants where traditional Thai food, including special recipes from northeastern thailand, as well as Chinese, Korean and western dishes can be enjoyed. A shopping mall sells souvenirs and handicrafts from all over the kingdom. Half day tours leave from Pattaya every day. Accomodations can be arranged in traditional Thai style teak houses, in cottages or in small lakeside villas with access to a private swimming pool. Accommodation may be booked by calling 252-1786 in Bangkok or (038) 436655-7 in Pattaya.
