Made up of a series of carefully manicured themed botanical gardens, plus a “Dinosaur Valley” with lifelike models that children will love, Nong Nooch Tropical Garden is a popular day trip tour for vacationers staying in Pattaya, Southern Thailand. The gardens also host elephant shows and Thai cultural displays with colorful costumes.
With different areas focused on the varying plants, trees, and flowers that grow in Thailand and around the world, Nong Nooch is an interesting trip for anyone interested in the natural world. From orchids to jungle plants and a sculpted French-style knot garden decorated with miniature temples, there’s plenty to see.

Nong Nooch Tropical Garden is located at 34/1 Moo 7 Na Jomtien District, Pattaya 20250, Thailand. It is around 25 minutes by car from Pattaya town. Tours from Pattaya provide round-trip transport, and taxis can be hired to make the journey.
The gardens are open daily, year-round. It can get very hot in the middle of the day so consider going early or late to beat the heat.
For a taste of Thai culture, make time for a visit to the Sanctuary of Truth Temple in Pattaya. Made entirely of wood, the beautiful, intricately carved structure is filled with sculptures depicting both Buddhist and Hindu figures. At almost 350 feet (105 meters) tall, the temple is one of the tallest structures in the area, and is still being built—it should be finished by 2050.
