Nongnooch Pattaya Garden
Rob's take
"Far more than a garden — themed grounds, life-sized dinosaurs and a genuinely good elephant and cultural show that keeps kids and adults happy for three or four hours. Go right at opening (8am) before the heat and the tour buses roll in, take the tram to cover the huge site, and treat lunch as fuel rather than a highlight."
Nongnooch Pattaya Garden is a family attraction in Na Chom Thian, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand, and one of Rob's picks on this guide. It's rated 4.6★ on Google. Open daily, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM.
Nongnooch Pattaya Garden is a vast, immaculately maintained tropical botanical park in the Pattaya area, home to themed sections including an orchid garden, Butterfly Hill and a life-sized dinosaur zone. Visitors can tour the grounds by shuttle or tram and catch the elephant and cultural show in the Scala theatre. Open daily, it rewards a leisurely three to four hours, with early morning the coolest and quietest time to explore.
