Tropical Park Nong Nooch in Thailand

Tropical Park Nong Nooch (Engl. Nong Nooch Tropical Garden) is 240 hectares of Botanical Gardens located near the resort town of Pattaya (Thailand). Daily Foot Nooch Park is visited by about 2 million people.



Park's history began in 1954, when Nongnuč Tansača purchased a plot of land for fruit plantations. However, after a trip to Europe and admiring foreign gardens Nongnuč Tansača decided to turn their land into tropical gardens with ornamental plants. Open to the public in 1980, the Park got the name Suan Nong Nooch (Suan means "Garden", and the name of the owner-Nong Nooch).
 Nowadays on the territory of the park there are the following gardens: French garden, European Garden, butterfly garden, Garden umbrellas, Cactus Garden, Garden of the groves, an Orchid Garden, Garden ceramic pots, Garden of pineapples, blue Garden, Stonehenge, etc.
