The atmosphere was good. When we came, the weather was good, the sky was overcast, not too hot. We arrived in the morning, there weren't many people yet. You can feed the elephants and various animals. There is a restaurant, coffee, and activities to do, you can easily spend time here at least 1-3 hrs including lunchtime. Recommend coming when the weather isn't too hot. On weekend afternoons, there are a lot of people. Have a goo day all 😊🌠

Visited on October 28th. Mostly sunny sky, beautiful weather. I parked in front of the ticket office at 7:40. There are also toilets. To see the red lilies you need to take a boat. Small boat for 2 persons 300B, boat up to 6 persons 500B. When i gave the 300B, the nice lady at the cashier returned me 100B, maybe because i was alone. A very honest behaviour, unusual in the tourism business. The boat ride to the area where lilies are took about 10 minutes at a relaxed pace Then the boat man entered slowly and respectfully of the water plants inside the lilies. When we stopped the boat and the silence surrounded us, it was magical. Around us thousands of red water lilies (although not as many as in the peak season), and many water birds and swallows chirping. The trip took almost an hour. Very impressed by nature and people here. Some Thai people at the dock even invited me for breakfast.

I visited in March which was not the season, but the Red Lotus Lake was on my bucket list. We rented a big boat for 500 baht. He took us out to several spots, and even stopped at the temple on the island. The lake was absolutely beautiful and tranquil. I enjoyed beautiful pink lotus, watching birds, and water buffalos. I recommend it for nature lovers.

Small boat for up to 2 people - 300 Baht. Big Boat for up to 6 people - 500 Baht. It's very very beautiful to visit during Seasonal Period between December to January. The Ride is about One Hour. I did not regret travelling so far to see this amazing red lotus lake. Advice to Arrive there in the Early Morning before 0800 to avoid the strong sun and crowd.

The sheer variety and beauty of the birds here is astounding! Their antics were absolutely hilarious – frantic food hunts, comical escapes from our boat, and the sheer chaos of their running retreats. And the lake? A perfect mirror reflecting it all. A truly delightful experience!

Me and my girlfriend passed by Khumphawapi in wrong (dry) season so boat rides on the lake were closed. However we still found some beautiful lotuses along the road around the lake and walking in the fields

Every season has different lotus flowers, grab a boat and enjoy, you can have a bit dining too. Will come back 😊

The famous street market of Khonkaen prefecture. All of shop are local, basic and naturally. The zoning is separate by consumers product and food products, you can find the seasonal food in this street food. The price is very fair. Good vibes. If you are the traveller, I recommended to come.

Kk walking street now having event from 1-12 Dec. Admission and parking is free. Highly recommended for evening walk, as there's many streetfood and go for photos as night there's light as well.

Maybe the Covid scare & restrictions have made this Saturday night event dismal and not special. No place to sit and eat your food from the vendors and lacks a happy atmosphere. Maybe a live band would help.

A lot of booths or stores in this walking street. You also can buy puppies here. For Muslim, you can find halal food store that selling yellow rice and chicken. Don't worry about car park because a lot of space around there.

fun place because lots of good and cheap food. only open every saturday night. there you can buy shoes, clothes, jewelry, feed the goats and some are selling puppies. you have to come and try it!

Just happened to be here for a town festival, which was pretty good and well worth a visit.

Impressed with the myriad of things to see here. Shops selling food, pets, clothings, baskers, sheep feeding for kids, students performing to raise funds.

Beautiful smaller temple located in between some of the main temples in Khon Kaen. The temple ground were under renovation when I visited but the temples itself are still a beauty to behold. Worth paying a visit and spending 10-15 minutes here

Wat Nong Waeng Phra Aram Luang is a famous temple in Khon Kaen province and is recognized as a royal temple. It’s a large temple with many parking lot available for visitors. Tourists are expected to dress modestly and respectfully, ensuring shoulders and knees are covered. Women are not allowed to wear short skirts above the knee or sleeveless tops. Before entering the pagoda, which houses sacred relics, all visitors are required to remove their shoes. The temple provides cloth bags for carrying shoes inside, as theft has occurred in the past. Visitors are advised to place their shoes in the provided bags and carry them while exploring the pagoda. The ground floor of the pagoda serves as a space for making merit and features several donation boxes. The interior is intricately decorated and visually stunning. Tourists can also climb to the top of the pagoda, which has nine floors in total. The stairs are steep, so caution is advised. From the ninth floor, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Khon Kaen city.

This is my 2nd time here and it is one of the most beautiful temples in Khon Kaen. There is a stair access to the 9 levels of pagoda but it might be too steep for some people. It was very crowded when we visited.

One of my favourite Temples in Thailand and definitely in the city of Khon Kaen. This Temple is a Khon Kaen land mark and tourist destination. It hosts 9 levels each with artworks, artefacts, shrines, and information much like a museum. Each level represents the ascension to enlightenment and there is a 360 degree view of the surrounding city on every level. The ground floor is the main floor where locals come to greet the monks and pray. I really like this Temple because of its beautiful architecture and surrounding grounds, the view of the city from each level, the artworks, artefacts and information scattered all around. Artworks include paintings that depict traditional every day Thai life, correct behaviour as taught by the scriptures as well as the story of the life of the The Buddha carved into the doors and window shutters. It is easy to spend a whole day here getting lost wandering around discovering new area's while viewing the surrounding city from one of the best vantage points in Khon Kaen.

Wat Nong Wang (วัดหนองแวง) is Khon Kaen city’s biggest, most important temple, and also its one must-see tourist attraction. It was founded in 1789, the same year the city was settled, though there are no old buildings left. It became a royal temple in 1984. About 55 monks and 225 novices live here. It’s ordinary in most regards, except for the stunning nine-story Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon, a stupa unlike any other in Thailand. Many of the links below take you to other articles explaining the art in detail. Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon The ground floor is open 6am-5pm and floors 2-9 are open 8am-4.30pm. Phra Mahathat Kaen Nakhon stupa was built to celebrate both the king’s golden jubilee (celebration of 50 years on the throne) and the two hundredth birthday of Khon Kaen city. It is 50m long on the side and 80m tall and has nine floors because he was King Rama 9. Construction was started in 1990 and it was inaugurated in 1996. The idea for the stupa came from the highly respected Luang Paw Koon Kantigo, the then abbot. The design was inspired by the Eiffel Tower and the Shwedagon Pagoda, both of which he saw while travelling. The most important of the abbot’s ideas, however, is the stupa’s curved shape, chosen to be that made by a hanging fishing net – called a catenary curve in physics. People’s ashes are kept in the stupas at each of the four corners and the naga-topped wall around the stupa. Before construction, when this area was still rice field, a naga came to tell a high-ranking monk in a dream that there was a naga breathing hole where the stupa was going to be built. So, the stupa was built about 10m from the original intended location and these naga were incorporated into the design. The shape of the top part of the stupa was inspired by Phra That Kham Kaen stupa (notice the redented corners) north of the city and has a golden-colored vine pattern similar to that on the very important Phra That Phanom stupa in Nakhon Phanom province. Ground Floor The temple’s center of activity is the stupa’s ground floor, which has a Buddha relic inside a chamber with a nine-spired roof. Next to it is a life-like resin statue of Luang Paw Koon Kantigo, the previous abbot (Unusual, because these are normally made after an abbot has died, but this one was put here many years before.), and in the back is a copy of the Chinnarat Buddha (from Phitsanulok); two copies of Phra Kaew (the Emerald Buddha), one green and one orange; and a baby Buddha. They are facing west, rather than the usual east, because the original Chinnarat Buddha also faces west. Along the northern wall is a table with 108 alms bowls (for donating 108 coins) and another full of daily Buddhas. The number 108 was important in ancient India and so it is found in many Buddhist stories, most importantly the 108 signs of perfection to show that he was the Buddha – this is also why there are often 108 symbols on the soles of many large Buddha footprints.

The main Temple of Khonkaen called Wat - Nong - Wang (in Thai). There is 9 floor with closely pyramid shape. All decoration is very Thai, which beautiful, charming and richy by the golden colour of gold. The activity is walk around the floor then step up to the top of temple. The location is beside of kaennakorn swamp that very massive impress by the top view from the top of Nongwang temple.

As a non believer I can review just the multi storey building. Once you get the last floor you will see an amazing 360 degrees view. The stairs are not easy to climb because the steps are high and narrow.

We traveled by a private taxi from Khon Kaen city, and it took us 1h20. Prasat Puay Noi is a little beautiful Khmer temple that was built from red stone in the 11th century. There is no entry fee.

A very peaceful hour in the grounds of the temple. Recommended.

This is a handsome 12th century Khmer temple with beautiful red sandstone. There are excellent lintels over the doors, including one superb depiction of Shiva atop Nandi, his sacred mount. The temple is surrounded by lotus ponds, most of which were still functional at the time of writing. Entrance is free.

Just an ordinary size temple structure and located in a small village. Entrance Free. Only worth your time if happen to be nearby or passing through. There's a little cozy cafe shop next to it where you can have a wonderful time relaxing before continuing your journey 🏍💨

It is worth a visit. it's about 45km from Khon Kaen. It's a small ruin, so you can walk around it in half an hour or spend 2 hours just taking in the tranquil beauty of the buildings. Prasat Puei Noi or “Phra That Ku Thong” is the largest historical site in the region. In the Khon Kean Province, it is more than 800 years old. It is assumed that it was built between the 11th and 12th centuries. Combining the Khmer arts of Bapuan and Angkor Wat. To be used as a place of worship for performing rituals. According to Hindu (Brahmin) beliefs, the plan is Mount Meru. which is considered the axis of the universe, which is the dwelling place of the gods called "Sasana Banphot," in front of which the main prang's crypt is carved. It is a Nagarat shape with a beautiful pattern. The lintel is carved with the image of Narayana Banthomsin. which is still in good viewing condition, complete there is also the Kachalakshmi lintel considered that this is the only place that faces west, (all other buildings face east) and the door is closed. This is different from the general religious place in front of the gopura, and there is a door to pass through for good fortune. There is no entrance fee, and there was no one else viewing.

Very small Khmer site but I have been there half day and nowbody else. It's a bit off the scene but if you are looking for a quiet place it's a visit worth. For me it was perfect and I could feel the mystic aura there without any distourbance

There is no cost to enter. It is in the middle of a grass field next to a pond. Very tranquil location there was a mother and her young boys who left shortly after we arrived so we had the place to ourselves. Very glad we made the effort to get here. We caught the train from Khon Kaen to Ban Phai and there engaged a private driver to take us to the ruins wait and then drive us back for 1000 TBH.

Phimai Temple (Prasat Hin Phimai) is one of the largest and most important Khmer temples in Thailand, renowned for its grand scale, exquisite carvings, and unique role as a Buddhist sanctuary built during the Khmer Empire. Located in Nakhon Ratchasima province, Phimai was constructed between the 11th and 12th centuries and served as a major religious and cultural hub at the end of the ancient highway that connected it directly to Angkor. Unlike many Khmer temples, which were dedicated to Hindu deities, Phimai was built as a Mahayana Buddhist temple, reflecting the spiritual diversity of the Khmer world. Highlights of Phimai Temple Architecture: The temple complex stretches over 1,000 by 600 meters, making it the largest Khmer site in Thailand. Its central sanctuary, built of white sandstone, is adorned with intricate lintels and pediments depicting both Hindu and Buddhist themes. Symbolism: The layout follows the Khmer cosmic plan, with the central prang representing Mount Meru, the axis of the universe. Interestingly it is one of the only Khmer temples to face south. Unique Identity: While its style resembles Angkor Wat, Phimai predates it by nearly a century and stands out for its explicitly Buddhist dedication.

Very clean and well maintained site. Staff inside the visitor's center were helpful and greeted us with kindness. There are plenty of shady benches to relax and enjoy the scenery. Overall though it's a small site compared with other historic sites in central Thailand. In my opinion, not worth the 200 baht entry price, which was 10 times the price my partner paid. I've traveled all over this country and have visited over 50 national parks, so I have a good feel for what you should expect for 100, 200, 300, and 400 baht entry. And I'm used to dual pricing too, but 200 is too high for this site, and 10 times the local price is just insulting. I'm sorry to say that I don't recommend this site, no matter how pretty it is.

That's amazing! The weather was lovely, perfect for a leisurely walk around the spacious 100-rai property. The grounds are beautifully preserved, with different rooms showcasing the architecture. At the back, there’s a massive tree believed to be over 400 years old. Admission: 200 baht for foreigners, 20 baht for Thai nationals, and free for children under 12. Parking: Available near the entrance, fits around 15 cars. Museum: Air-conditioned and pleasantly cool inside. Restrooms: Very clean. It’s absolutely worth bringing children to experience and appreciate ancient Khmer art. A truly valuable and worthwhile visit! ❤️🙏

I love these ancient temples. This one doesn't disappoint and is very impressive. You can tell that there has been a lot of effort put into it and I think more restoration and access to closed off areas would enhance the place more.

Beautiful and underrated historical site Phimai Historical Park really surprised me. The temple complex is huge, peaceful, and full of amazing Khmer-style architecture. The carvings and layout are incredibly detailed, and you can easily imagine how impressive this place must have been hundreds of years ago. I loved how quiet and relaxing the park felt — not crowded at all, so you can take your time walking around, taking photos, and enjoying the atmosphere. It’s well maintained, the lawns are clean, and the whole area has a very calm, ancient vibe. The sunlight can get strong, so bring water and a hat if you go during the day. The entrance fee is fair - 200 baht for foreigners, and I’d say the park is absolutely worth a visit if you’re in Korat or anywhere nearby. Overall: a beautiful, historic place that’s perfect for a slow, meaningful stop. Highly recommend! 💯

Phimai Historical Park is a truly amazing and worthwhile visit, often compared to a more peaceful version of Angkor Wat. This beautiful example of Khmer architecture is a must-see for anyone in the region. The 200 Baht ticket is great value, granting you access to the park's well-preserved structures. While the park is generally open until 6:00 PM daily, be sure to check for special events or festivals, as these can include extended evening hours for unique experiences like a light-and-sound show.

Get up early before the tourist arrive. The shadows are amazing. Relaxing place. 10 aud to get in. Thai for free.

Temple of one of Thailand's greatest Monks Luamg Por Khun The Elephant Temple is a history of Buddhism detailing history of the path to enlightenment as taught by Buddha throughout Asia The Royal collection or main museum is a beautiful collection of relics and life of Luang Por Khun I have plenty of photos which I will try to share from my 4-5 hours at the temple Admission is free.. Plenty of restaurants as well Definitely worth the journey to pay respect to Luang Por Khun and his impact on Thai society 🙏🙏🙏

Grand and famous temple in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), known for its impressive scale. 🎨 The architecture and artistic details are truly magnificent and beautifully crafted. 🏯 The grandeur and beauty of the architecture are breathtaking — even more stunning in real life than in photos. 🌳 The grounds are spacious and very well maintained. 🙏 Highly recommended for a visit—make sure to set aside enough time, as there's a lot to explore.

Very nice and service minded. Good prices and good experience and remeberable. Good for kids and grown ups. Nice personel en every manner.

We came late due to the jam caused by many people returning to their hometown for the new year 2025. We were lucky to be given a chance to go to the top of the Elephant Museum to pray to LP Koon statue that is almost 99% resemblance to LP Koon.

If you want to see alot of beautiful art and learn more about the way too nirvana this is a must go. Really big place with much to see.

Beautiful temple that I visit every 2 to 3 years. Always something new. Restaurants and souvenirs etc at the car park for a great lunch etc.

Absolutely amazing! We didn’t know where to look first! It’s much bigger than we thought it would be, would say it’s definitely worth visiting!

A revered place for Thai people to celebrate a warrior woman who protected Korat from Lao invaders.

A nice area, set by the historic city moat and reconstructed West Gate of possible 17th century origin under King Narai the Great. An elegant modern statue of the celebrated Governor's wife under HM King Rama III, credited with a saviour's role in thwarting Anouvong's invasion 200 years ago. The events doomed the Vientiane Laotian kingdom as a last vestige of Laan Sang on the Korat Plateau and cemented Isaan into Siam, for which it has much to be thankful.

Important monument in Korat city. When u been Korat until you’ve paid respect to Grandma Mo also known Ya Mo (as Suranaree is known locally). At night really peaceful and Monday - Sunday Open 24 hours . The recommend to visit and pay respect .

Quite crowded even though it is mid afternoon. Many Thai people are offering their prayers to this great heroine!

1) Cleanliness, But not have Geal alcohol in the area. 2) Service is normal, staff was friendly, welcoming, attended a bit your special request if you had any. 3) Floor is really good and clean but i'd request for have some clean toilet would be great 🙏 4) Atmosphere great, is it a family place good for a date, But not for business. 5) Price is for flowers is 20-100thb, to pray for make a Merits Ya Moh. I Would you recommend dont miss this great place if you visit in Nakornratchasima province.🗽

Interesting monument. It will be very crowded since it fits right on the street. Parking is almost difficult to do it's better to use a taxi to the monument and dropping you off and picking you up after you finish business way with Ya Mo. Everyone who travel to this city should go there pay the respect to Thao suranari monument for you blessful life, I recommend, at least one time of your whole life.

Monument of the city's heroine. Located in the city center, it's a must visit if you can spare the time.

The structure has a rather huge and very well taken care of park. Location very close to Thanon Mittraphap and it is very easy to approach by car with enough parking space on the front side. Entrance is free for all. Big interior. Not very crowded on a working day, might have more visitors on weekend. All in all it worths a visit.

Beautiful temple and landscape.

Yep. A tourist attraction. Nice place to spend some time at the middle of nowhere.

Great temple to visit.

good

Ok

(Translated by Google) A great temple. Simple, not overloaded with statues. But very nice (Original) Ein toller Tempel. Schlicht, nicht überladen mit Statuen. Aber sehr schön

If you like to picture with flower this place is for you. Parking are available at their parking area for both personal car and tourist bus.

Arrived and paid for the promotion price to get into the garden. Here is the place where you can take your time, feel the breeze , smell the scent of flowers blossom. Beautiful and perfect place to take pictures with flowers. There are trams offering shuttle services between zones. It only opens for one month a year, which is in December for tourists. Overall a pleasant experience and really enjoyable. December 2023

This farm is amazing. Not only beautiful flowers and rice fields you can take photos with, you can also learn the way of life of Northeastern 'Esan' Thai people. This place exhibits about the Thai rices and silks. You can learn the silkworm's circle of life and how people got the silk thread from the silkworm's cocoons.

A very nice place to visit as a couple or family. Lots of flowers and pretty scenery. There's a tram ride that takes you around the farm. You can get off the tram to take a picture and catch the next tram. Food inside the farm is very very expensive. I recommend getting lunch and snacks at the entrance. The ticket to get in is kinda pricey.

Big area to walk. We come in the morning around 11am and find that the place is a little too hot to enjoy walking around. There is quite a lots of variety of flower and plants in the farm but feels a little too artificial to be a real farm. More like a tourist attraction.

Nothing much here to explore. Stack of pumpkin hill for people to take photo. Area very big, need shuttle bus from point to point. There is no queue system for the shuttle bus, everyone will need to run and rush, saw family with elderly got hard time to get into the shuttle bus.

5 stars for this beautiful farm and amazing silk. 1 star for double standard in pricing rule and charge triple entry price for foriners. I found it very disappointing and discriminatory. Jim Thompson company has a global presence and should avoid this kind of practice

Really nicely decorated, feels like little Italy. But hardly any shops or restaurants open so it feels very empty. More like a small suburb, so not a place you can easily spend many hours enjoying, pretty much over and done in 30 minutes. But for an entrance fee of 20thb it is worth a visit!

Nothing too special. All of the shops were boring and didn't offer anything exciting. A few souvenir shops, some restaurants/cafes, and toy shops. This place is mainly for photogenic Asian instagrammers. It's only worth visiting if you want to take pictures of a shopping center that resembles that of a town in Venice or Rome, Italy.

Good place to visit if you passed by and not make it as an end destination. Sleepy venue with an Tuscan theme... but the vibes are not great as many shops are closed or vacant. Can buy some souvenirs though. But nothing much. Parking is 20B/car. But can give it a miss.

One of the recommended tourist attractions. Indeed, worth the visit. Nice and beautiful Italian structures alike. You might just want to have a few more clicks on the camera. Many specialty stores selling handicrafts, toys and souvenirs. Free entrance.

Nice place to visit the design and upkeep are well ,to-bad most of the places are either empty or shut down . The lack of tourist is quite evident when walking through the streets and near the shops that are still open . there are many picture postcard style of places for that perfect selfie , or coupled shots. The washroom here is immaculate and worth mentioning as far to often the restrooms are lacking attention and upkeep ,this is not the case here as the airy and fresh looking restrooms are amazing . No need to pay for use as in most places where tourists visit . 👍👍🧞‍♀️ Also make sure to head over to black canyon coffee located in the second floor , nice air con cafe (one of only a few ) with nice friendly staff and great drinks - coffee and tea of course - with two selections of alcohol Incase your in need 🍸🍸🕺🏼🧞‍♀️🍺.so grab your camera and head on over ..

Not a bad place to take photo! Parking is only 20 baht. Other reviews state that alot of shops are closed.. but it wasn't that case when we visited yesterday. Quite a lot of shops are opened and many good photo taking spot. Happy to finally get some cute souvenirs too!

Great place for photo taking, an alternative to Primo Piazza which cost B$200/pax entrance fee. This place offers many Italy look-a-like street scenes for IG. It does not have the farm scenery though. Few food options inside but many at nearby shop houses, or MK restaurant if you are alright with it. A big convenience store at the entrance. Takes less than an hour to cover if you are taking photos. Less than 30 mins if you are just sight seeing. Many lots for parking nearby.

Very nice park. Entry was 200 Baht for adults and 150 for 60+. It included access to the flora park and the rose park. To go between them, a trolley is available every hour. You do need your tickets when arriving at the rose park! We went in December, and nit everything was in bloom, but it was still very prety. Next to the Flora park is a restaurant with great chicken wings!

I've visited Flora Park several times over the years. The flowers were still as lovely as ever. There are trolleys to take you to the rose garden not far away. Still think it's the best flower park around the Wang Nam Kheo area. Worth a visit though the fee is rather high.

Nice place to stop by. For one ticket you get Flora Park and Rose Park, which is nearby and accessed by your transport or shuttle from Flora Park. Great to walk around and view scenery. Various snacks and drinks are served on premises.

Beautiful floral park in the Nakhon Ratchasima, north east of Thailand. Nice day out with friends and family if you happen to travel near the area, but it's not worth it if you're visiting Thailand for the first time. The best time to visit is during the Thailand cold season, others season it's way too hot and not many flowers to look at.

Went to the flora park today. Unfortunately it looked like the season is over for now. Most of the flowers were dry. And the area was not that well maintained this time. Entrance fee was reduced from 200 to 80 Baht.

Nice flower garden with an observation deck. The deck has a "mini teamLab" room for a little fun. There is also a rose garden at the back with a shuttle bus run every hour. Recommend to go in the late afternoon because it was too hot even in Feb. Restaurant and cafe on site are pretty good and reasonable price.

This is a very nice place. We went in January and the prices went down already. 150 for adult and 100 THB for kids (I think 90/100cm to 130cm) and people over 60. There is a shuttle bus to the Rose Garden which is also very nice.

The hotel looked good from the outside, but the interior felt somewhat outdated to me. Unfortunately, there was a strong unpleasant odor in the bathroom coming from the drainage system, which was quite overpowering. Additionally, the towels didn’t seem very clean and had a yellowish tint. However, the overall facilities were decent. The main issue I encountered was the poor service from the IT team. I attended a seminar at the hotel and needed to use the projector, but the screen quality was terrible, with numerous lines appearing across the display and distorted colors. When I asked the staff for assistance, they had little to no knowledge of how to fix the issue or even how to properly connect my laptop to the equipment. They seemed very young and inexperienced, which made the situation even more frustrating. That being said, I was impressed with other staff members, such as the drivers and restaurant staff. They provided professional, attentive, and friendly service, which made my stay much more pleasant.

It would be an extremely beautiful and stylish gas station with Italian flair. I wasn't in the hotel, just at the rest stop. Unfortunately, as is often the case, it was built once, opened with great fanfare, but then the necessary maintenance of such a complex was seemingly forgotten! It looks a bit run-down in places.

Good for a quick get away from busy city. Nothing worth a return but a good get away. As there is no other choices around her. The place is run down while the original idea must be awesome. But seems like the owner are not bothered anymore or it’s just not worth the effort.

Good for new experience but not new to visit. Some things need to fix and renovate. It’s too old to invite family as a comfort place. But over all is good if you never come here.

the room has 2 levels, the beds are super comfy, the staffs are very friendly and couteous esp the golf cart drivers, the location is right off the road

This a tourist trap nightmare. Noonon Saturday and no proper restaurant available. Decided against staying there on return trip

Rooms looks great but activities are unethical scams 600 baht for ball rolling down hill🤣🤣 - only last 10 seconds 😂 ridiculous scams don't fall for it. Activities are mostly expensive and overpriced.

Beautiful park - pristine and well worth visiting. Be mindful that as a foreigner, you will need to pay the tourist price for entry (400 bhat). Not a big deal but worth noting. Also be mindful that there are a lot of unmarked speed bumps so keep an eye out for these. Highly recommended

The National park is very beautiful. A wide open large space with a road running all the way through it. On our visit we didn’t get to see elephants but we saw large healthy dear and monkeys carrying babies. There are amazing view points and also camping points. You can also drive right through the park to an amazing waterfall. A very worthwhile visit. 40 Bhat for local people and 300 Bhat for foreigners. Still money worth spending.

Huge national park with many interesting animals. I'd recommend to book a safari with a guide, because otherwise you might drive/walk straight past the most interesting things without even noticing. Also you are not allowed to walk into the jungle on your own, which makes sense because although beautiful it can also be dangerous. Also make sure you bring insect spray and leech protection socks. And don't forget to respect nature.

Beautiful place with lots of wildlife. Although it was a very short wildlife photography trip for me, I got some wonderful photographs of wild elephant herd, sambar deers, barking deers, and pig-tailed macaques. Definitely coming back for a longer visit next time.

It's really worth a visit. Just watch out for wildlife if you were to drive after dawn. There are so many interesting spots, day and night, to enjoy the nature. If you are not really into camping, stay on the lower areas of the park. There are many fancy hotels and houses to choose from. More importantly, it's much easier to eat with varieties of foods. Just be aware that prices may be similar to Bangkok, or some places are even priceier.

We visit the khao yai national Park yesterday I search on khao yai national Park website the entry fees for foreigners is 200 baht even on the Internet it says 200 baht but they charge us 400 baht per person we are the group of many people so it become double the price that what we expected this is very disappointed Dual pricing scam for expats 40thb for Thai 400thb for foreigners even if you have a work permit ranger staff at the entrance told us to leave if we aren't happy paying 10 times more than locals. This is the worst experience and worst attitude we faced and we didn't see much wildlife in day time At night safari we see some but it's not worth it to pay 10× extra for that

I really enjoyed our nature trip! The views were stunning, the air was fresh, and it felt so relaxing to be surrounded by nature.

Place near Bangkok just less than 2 hrs drive for long tail boat riding into the Dam. About 2-2.5hrs trip without toilet and drinking water is not included Price: Shared 200 baht/person but need to wait for 10 people to join the ride. Private cost about 1500-4000baht depending on the period of the visit. Suggest to confirm the private boat ride price before starting Time to visit: Early morning at 6am or evening before 4pm to avoid the strong sunlight during the day and to enjoy the dawn&dusk moment 3Q : long walk through the greenery yard 4Q: Short walk but have to climb up the rocky way to see the waterfall

You can enjoy beautiful views of water and mountains, in case of rainy season you will see foggy clouds near by too. Its a big dam and they have free entry to this location but car parking might take time , it took me an hour to reach the point because of slow traffic on mountain

Breathtaking views and peaceful atmosphere 🌿 A beautiful and relaxing place surrounded by lush green mountains and calm water. The dam itself is massive, walking along it feels refreshing, especially after a bit of rain when the air is cool and misty. You can enjoy great panoramic views from both sides, one overlooking the reservoir, and the other facing the deep valley below. It’s also a nice spot for photos or just a peaceful walk with friends or family. There are small shops and local snacks near the entrance, and everything is clean and well maintained. Best to come early morning or late afternoon for the soft light and cooler weather. A perfect short trip from Bangkok if you love nature and quiet places! 🌄

Good view, even there’s crowded but i didn’t feel annoyed. Should take a short boat trip to go inside the dam

It just takes two hour drive from Bangkok .You can have an experience of nature, fresh air, hiking experience, and fun. I just have an experience of taking boat and I saw some other people are taking buggy around the dam as well.

After exploring this dam, my perspective shifted as I discovered its unexpected beauty and tranquility. Witnessing the controlled release of water allows you to grasp both the force of nature and the ingenuity of humanity, offering a moment for thoughtful reflection. Venturing inside, I was pleasantly surprised to find a picturesque walkway reminiscent of European settings, surrounded by an expansive body of water that occasionally resembled an endless ocean. Though we missed the opportunity to take the tour boat and explore the wilder side, it serves as a compelling reason to return for another visit. ☺️ Update: Went back again on 2 February 2024 and took the boat cruise inside the dam, totally worthy 👍 search for "boat cruise to see the dam" (on the right side of this location)

What a magnificent area in the Khao Yai district. This is a really impressive dam and is incredibly big. You can have a walk around here, or even rent a golf cart to drive around in this big area. There are a few food and tea shops here, and parking is for free. Highly recommended!

Went around 1pm and it was very hot. Recommend going in the morning or in the evenings. I felt lot of spiritual energy here specially around the Chinese temple. Would recommend going here and giving merits to all the temple spirits

The pink Ganesha has a charming presence. The area around it is lined with various shops, making it lively on weekends. In front of the statue, you’ll find three mice. Since you’re here, don’t miss the chance to whisper your wishes into the ear of one of them.

A very interesting and unique temple. spread over a large area, this temple seems to have a Chinese theme from the type of the decoration and design. Car park is free and available in many areas around the temple. There’s also a 7Eleven, lots of small shops and stalls selling various items from fruits and vegetables, to sun-dried fish and other stuff. There are also few small restaurants as well as larger ones by the river. Many people come to visit and perform rituals and take photos. Enjoyable and nice.

We came here on 5 October 2025. Perfect weather today as the rain ended. A great place to visit. Nice temple area. Toilets and car park spots are available. A huge market area is here too. Many local produce. Affordable fruits and vegetables. We can come back here again 😃

Visiting Wat Saman Rattanaram was a truly unforgettable experience! This temple, located in Chachoengsao, is home to the largest Pink Ganesha statue in Thailand, and it’s absolutely breathtaking in person. The giant reclining Ganesha—standing at about 16 meters high and 24 meters long—radiates positivity and calmness. Unlike traditional depictions, this Ganesha is painted pink, symbolizing kindness, compassion, and the removal of obstacles in a gentle way. What makes this temple even more fascinating is how it blends Hindu, Buddhist, and Chinese cultural influences in one place. Surrounding the main statue are numerous smaller deities, including the mouse statues believed to carry wishes directly to Ganesha—each color of mouse represents a different day of the week and has a unique spiritual meaning! The atmosphere here is vibrant yet peaceful. You’ll find local food stalls, souvenir shops, and floating markets nearby, making it a wonderful place to spend a few hours. The temple is well-maintained, colorful, and full of life—a perfect reflection of Thai spirituality and creativity. The Pink Ganesha holds a rosary, a broken tusk, and a sweet (laddu)—each symbolizing wisdom, perseverance, and life’s sweetness. Devotees whisper their wishes into the ears of Ganesha’s mice statues to send their prayers directly to him. The temple also features statues of Chinese gods, the Hindu god Vishnu, and the Buddha, showcasing Thailand’s harmony between different faiths. On weekends, you can enjoy a floating market and boat rides along the river nearby. Overall, Wat Saman Rattanaram is not just a temple—it’s a cultural experience. Whether you’re seeking blessings, stunning photo spots, or a deeper understanding of Thai spiritual fusion, this place is a must-visit!

The temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesh, and you can feel the devotion and energy of the worshippers. A big thank you to the temple authorities for maintaining this beautiful place. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

A well known Buddhist temple on the river. Has many activities there and nice market selling wide range of goods and souvenirs. We just went for a quick visit in the morning and not for any special occasion.

Not recommend with small kids, it's a bit scary monkeys can jump at u, a lot of angry streets dogs. Not pleasant walk. Feels like u in a gost town. Nothing there to see or do. Was walking all around the mountain looking for a shop to bay bananas or some nuts, nothing, u have to bring it from the city with u

Cute monkey and they are harmless :)

May be the biggest dike in the world. A lot of monkeys so it's not quite clean. You can walk up to the top via the stairs.

Fantasstic place for view and sun watching, many seafood restaurants, coffee cafe shops for selection, besides there are many monkeys walk, sit, eat on the road, must careful

It’s changed a lot since my last visit when I was a kid. It’s very dirty with lots of trash on the floor and everywhere. It turned out to be a disgusting place and it looks deserted too. There is not many monkeys left there at the time of our visit.

Bunch of monkeys, nice view of the ocean, if you continue up the road you'll reach monkey hill and can overlook the city

Great view, lots of monkeys.

The zoo is very pretty , fun and really big . Had an amazing time with my family . I recommend rent the golf cart which will make your trip even more exciting. Highly recommend to those who want to have close encounters with animals. You can buy feed for the giraffes, elephants , deer , capybara and experience feeding them . We had a wonderful day . Must visit 👍👍

Great zoo, a good place to spend the whole day. We bought a tour in Pattaya. Very huge territory. It's hard to understand on your first visit and impossible to walk around everything. Be sure to use the shuttles in the area or rent golf carts. I definitely recommend it! We fed lemurs, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, deer and a lion!

The entrance can be confusing as a foreign visitor. I prebooked a ticket on Klook, then had to redeem it at the small white house a short walk from the entrance. Then I could return to the entrance and turn in that receipt. Zoo is a bit run down but the animals are interesting! I walked but ran out of steam pretty quickly. The tram and golf carts look like great options because you can stop and get off and on frequently. Lots of bathrooms and snack places. Souvenirs aren’t great but they are available.

I only gave 3 stars as it states it's an Open Zoo, it is for some animals, but others are kept in cramped caged areas. You can rent a self drive Golf cart or small tuk tuk to get around (recommended) as it is spread out over a vast area, too hot and humid to walk around. There are public trams that make the rounds, you can hop on/off, but of course have no control of where you're going. Bolt taxi from Pattaya was around £5 each way, a bargain considering the distance. The carts and tuk tuks are also very cheap to rent.

This place is wildly fun! For the first half of it. You can rent a golf cart and zip around and for the second half you can take a vehicle to get from exhibit to exhibit. There is so much more there than just one adorable, fantastic, feisty little hippo. Go for Moo Deng, stay for everything else! So great!

One of the best zoos that keep animals feel at their homes. Although people are drawn by superstar Moo Deng, but this place has a lot to offer. You can spend one whole day comfortably and it worths your time.

It was a wonderful experience for me and my family. We rented a golf cart and explored the zoo at our own pace, enjoying the beautiful sights throughout the visit.

Such a variety of animals. Small but interesting! Highly recommended, for families with kids. There is lots of local/tropical animals as well as really special ones from Africa and the Amazon. The zoo is not really for profit and doesn’t really cost any money but sells animal food at reasonable prices , etc. I didn’t take photos of all of them.

Tiger Park in Sriracha is a great place to see tigers up close. The park is clean and well organized, and the staff are friendly and careful with safety. You can take photos with tigers of different sizes, from baby cubs to big ones. The animals look healthy and well cared for. It’s a unique and memorable experience, perfect for families and tourists visiting Pattaya or Sriracha. the place is not much crowded

ANY WILD ANIMAL WHO IS FORCED TO RIDE FOR ENTERTAINMENT (SUCH A BIKE?!) IS NOT A SAFE OR ETHICAL PLACE. These places operate on animal cruelty for their own monetary gain. Please do not engage with such places and put animal wellbeing first.

Great place for kids and even adults! Very spacious and clean. 100baht tickets only and best of all can use this to get the feeds for animals or photo taking. Kids had lots of fun!!

Very disappointed. Animals treated very badly (elephants chained, tiger hit). If you do go ask for ticket only 100bhat for adult, Free for children however they will try to charge you a lot at the entrance.

Good compact small farm. Highlight is to hold the little lion.

A nice mini zoo, the entrance fee can use as money to buy food and water along with food for feeding animals. The zoo is not that big, with a great atmosphere and many places to take a photo. You can ride a horse and elephants. The riding horse fee is 2 rounds for 200 Baht, 30 mins for 500 Baht. The coach is very nice and teaches a lot of tricks before riding.

Very nice place. One day trip from Bangkok

It's a paradise on earth. It's beautiful island has many great attractions and wonderful beaches. It's great place to relax and have great time on the beach or visiting the attractions on the island. The residents are very friendly and helpful. There are many fantastic hotels at affordable prices.

Beautiful island peaceful and quiet compare with the tourist crowded Pattaya. But overall the boat service to the island was a nightmare. The fishing boat modified my family and me boarded was lack of safety even thought it has the life jacket equipped. The boat’s boarding walk way was too narrow. An accident happened during my trip back as one local fell to the sea. Just be prepared and caution when travel with elder and children.

A real gem of an island. Ended up staying here 2 months. Great for fishing, swimming and check out the local temples/ sites. Friendly locals. Don't expect a party though, as there are only 2 karaoke on the island. Recommended

What I liked about the small, cozy island of Ko Si Chang: # No cars allowed! Only scooters and stylish tuktuks. # Very little number of tourists, so no noisy night life. # Diversified hilly terrain with super satisfying narrow winding roads for scooter riding (rent your own Zoomer for 300 bht/24h). # Some quiet resorts and natural nooks where you can hide from the world and avoid crowds - good for writers or thinkers perhaps. # Dry microclimate: you feel like in Greece for a change, not a greenhouse. # Wonderful vistas from a promenade to the west and other high points. # Some choice of vegan food in certain restos. # Low prices. # So close to Bkk, 4 hrs by bus and ferry in total. # Smiling friendly locals. Be aware of sea urchins (bring plastic shoes) and jellyfish in the ocean. Be prepared that life slows down rapidly right after disembarking and you might need some time to get in sync.

Paradise. Small, quaint peaceful little island without too many tourists. Immerse yourself in Thai culuture and be sure to check out the amazing Chinese temple, talk a walk along Asdang pier and catch the sunset from Hat Tham Phang Beach. Don't forget to grab a bite of some delicious fresh seafood while you're there.

Just off sriracha district by public boat 30 minutes to arrive Sri Chang Island which has a blue green sea. A chinese shrine. Several beach and plenty of sun light to melt you down.

The Sanctuary of Truth is absolutely breathtaking. The entire building is made of intricately carved wood, and seeing the craftsmanship up close is incredible. The guided tour was informative and helped explain the symbolism behind the design. The seaside location adds a peaceful atmosphere, and the photos came out amazing. There is some ongoing construction, but it actually makes the experience even more interesting since you can watch artisans working in real time. Overall, one of the most unique and memorable attractions in Pattaya. Highly recommended!

If you ever go to Pattaya, This place is a must visit. You may think it's just a temple but once you look at it with your own eyes, you will change your perspective about it. The art in the temple is commendable. Every inch here makes you wonder. Can't even imagine how they made it all the way. Most importantly they never used any concrete or civil joining items to make this temple, it's just wooden joint technique which holds this massive temple. Even 6 hours won't be enough to admit it's architecture beauty. Must must must visit place, never miss it.

Absolutely stunning! The Sanctuary of Truth is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The entire structure is hand-carved wood, and every corner has incredible detail and symbolism. It feels more like stepping into a living piece of art than visiting a temple. If you’re in Pattaya, this is a must-visit.

I would have given 4 starts if it was not so expensive! This used to be free as it should be for a place of worship and not exploiting the tourists. 500 baht is a very big amount! All the temples are using the tourists to make big money. I would understand reasonable entrance fee but 14 euro is too much! Also the staff is hustle and you are obligated to go via a tour guide and special hours with your chosen language. We preferred to see the place on our own and in peace. Also very expensive restaurant. They even charged us 10 baht for ice in our very overpriced drinks we bought. All the statues are half naked but people are obligated to cover up, this part we did not get at all.

Any trip to Pattaya is not complete if one doesn’t visit the Sanctuary of Truth Museum. It’s an astonishingly beautiful structure which is made entirely of wood and has wonderful sculptures and wooden carvings inside teaching the visitors the philosophy of life. One can also try out the Thai Traditional costume for an hour and take pictures. There are different activities within the vicinity of this museum that visitors can try like feeding the animals, horse riding, boating etc and also a number of cafés and restaurants to satisfy your food cravings, as well as a souvenir shop if one wants to buy souvenirs.

An amazing structure which is well worth the visit. A one hour tour but you could spend another 2-3 hours admiring the architecture and carvings. There are food stalls and foot massages available and an amazingly tranquil river next to the temple grounds to have a nice meal and drink while soaking in the atmosphere. It was quite a trip from Bangkok city but well worth the effort to view it. Only drawback is that they have animal rides in the form of horses and elephants and I feel sad for the forlorn looking animals made to serve so that their masters can earn some money. Temple wise - it's absolutely majestic. From the same people who designed the awesome White Temple in Chiangrai.

Must visit place in Thailand. Its completly built by wooden. Includes indian, chinese and thai culture and history carvings. I recomend every one to visit this. Entry fee is really woth and dont miss to wear full dress for ladis (Shoulders and knees should be covered) no shorts for boys (to wear full pant). If you come with short dress you will have to refundable deposit of 200 thb and get the cloth for boys and girls.

I don't think it's suitable for families, but it's a good place for single people. It's fun. You can have a good time.

Once in a lifetime experience. If you are like me who does not drink and do that stuff, visiting walking st is a must experience and only a one time experience but if you love doing ADVENTOURUS thing and its a heaven for you😅😂

Walking Street is the true living of Pattaya at night time. It actives more after 22:00. Find many more activities on the street. Best clubs and bars are here. If you wanna go with a family or a group. Go before 21:00 and you can check out whole street essily. Most of the Club entries are free. Nasha, Jalwa and many more clubs are premium.

Best place for night life city

It’s maintained neat and clean with lots off clubs including russian, indian and other local clubs are there to enjoy with beautiful girls.

Best night life ever. You will find everything here. Girls, Bar, Massage, Beach, Dance, Private shows, Swimming pools. Night is the best for this street

Quite heppening street in patraya, Night clubs, Go Go Bars, Discos, Gentleman clubs..the vibe of this street is different..

A Peaceful Gem Above Pattaya – Wat Phra Yai Despite being one of Pattaya’s most visited landmarks, Wat Phra Yai remains a calm and peaceful sanctuary. The moment you begin your ascent up the stairs flanked by golden serpents, there's a quiet spiritual energy that sets the tone for the experience. The Big Buddha statue itself is impressive, but it's the atmosphere that truly stands out. Even with tourists around, the temple grounds are incredibly well-maintained and respected, allowing visitors to soak in the serenity without feeling rushed or crowded. One of the highlights is the panoramic view over Pattaya city and the bay – it’s absolutely stunning and well worth the climb. Whether you’re there in the early morning or closer to sunset, the cityscape offers a beautiful contrast to the peacefulness at the top. Don’t miss the chance to write your wishes on the wish tree – it’s a thoughtful and grounding experience, adding a personal touch to your visit. Whether you're spiritual or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Wat Phra Yai is a must-visit that offers both reflection and a deeper appreciation of #Thai culture. No ticket required. #ThingsToDo #Pattaya #Buddha

The Wat Phra Yai also called the Big Buddha Temple at pratumnak hills is a beautiful temple on a hill top in Pattaya. A must visit place if you are looking to learn more about Buddhism and its teachings. They have different statues of Lord Buddha depicting his various stages of life. The city view from here is mesmerising and so you can capture great pictures and make memories here. They also have souvenir shops right outside the temple and a place where you can borrow a Sarong in case you are in shorts as they don’t allow entry into the temple with shorts for the ladies and entry is free

You will be greeted by long stairway before reaching to the top. Once you reach to the top, you will be greeted by a handful of Buddhas in different forms. It is an interesting visit because not only you can have a chance to view all these unique looking Buddhas, but also a nice panoramic view of the city, which makes this an one of a kind experience.

Wat Phra Yai (Big Buddha Temple) another option to visit in Pattaya! 🛕 The 18-meter golden Buddha statue is impressive and offers a peaceful atmosphere. The hilltop location gives you beautiful views of Pattaya city and the bay 🌅. The temple is clean, well-maintained, and free to enter. Wear modest clothing and be respectful of the local customs. Great spot for photos and a quick cultural experience! 📸 Tip: No need to book this through agent, just take GRAB, easily available and cost effective.

Free entrance as it should be for a temple! All the rest of the temples are making a business out of the tourists. I would understand 3-5 euro for an entrance fee but less than 500 baht you don’t find anymore which is a huge amount! This one was luckily free and we did a donation of course. It has nice views up the hill and some small shops in front of it. Cover your shoulders and legs, covers you can borrow for free as well.

Make sure to cover your shoulders and knees. The temple and statues are incredible. There is an ice cream truck with flavoured waffle cones which were a total hit and so affordable! I highly recommend visiting here.

Definitely worth a visit! It's free and very pleasant; there were few visitors at midday, allowing me to take beautiful pictures and enjoy peace and quiet in the shade on a mezzanine level. Thank you!

Visited on the weekend and it wasn’t crowded at all—not surprising though, as the water isn’t very clean. It's okay for a stroll or to relax by the shore, but not ideal for swimming. Also, be careful if you're a tourist—many shopkeepers charge quite high prices, so it’s best to compare or ask locals first. Still, it's a more peaceful alternative to Pattaya Beach.

I Recommend It’s a nice, quiet spot with hardly any crowds. There are plenty of yummy places to eat, and the beach is clean and super chill. After your meal, you can just stroll around, enjoy the view, and soak up the sea breeze It makes me feel at ease and truly relaxed, like I’m spending quality time with myself.

Nice view, more peaceful than Pattaya beach. Many squirrels can see...

Jomtien Beach offers a calmer and more relaxed vibe compared to the busier Pattaya Beach. The shoreline is long, clean, and perfect for a quiet stroll, sunbathing, or enjoying the sea breeze. The water is fairly good for swimming, and there are plenty of options for water sports like jet skiing and parasailing. What makes Jomtien stand out is the balance between peaceful spots and lively areas with beachside restaurants, cafés, and bars. Street food stalls and fresh seafood are easily available at very reasonable prices. The beach is also well-connected, making it easy to reach from Pattaya city. Overall, Jomtien Beach is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a more laid-back beach experience while still being close to the action.

Sit back and enjoy the cool sea breeze, watch the sun slowly set. The atmosphere here is more romantic than I thought. Come in the evening, it's not too hot, and the atmosphere is good.

Compared to Pattaya Beach, Jomtien is often described as more peaceful and “family-friendly.

Jomtien beach is clean n nice family beach.. nice vibes, nice atmosphere, you can do all water sports activities thier..lots of shaks n road side vendor are their.. jomtien beach market is also nice.. right opposite jomtien beach there are luxury properties to stay.. n you can also get budget hotels n bnb stays.. over all very different vibe compared to pattaya beach.. recommend for couples n family.. must visit

Super nice Island It takes you around 30 mins from The Pier to Tien island by speed boat Costs 400bth ( 2 ways)

Interesting place for tourists but prices are higher compared to other markets. Can bargain a bit. It gets really hot from 10am to 4pm even if it's open space with covered walkways . Some local food stalls too. Can spend around 2 hours. The boat ride is nice but expensive. The water is visibly dirty.

Loved visiting the Pattaya Floating Market! The place is vibrant and packed with energy — from local food stalls and souvenir shops to cultural shows and boat rides. It’s a great mix of traditional Thai charm and fun tourist experiences. The food options are amazing (don’t miss the coconut ice cream!) and the people are warm and welcoming. Perfect spot to spend a few relaxed hours soaking in the local vibe and taking photos. Definitely worth a visit! 🌸🚤

I loved this place. We had an hour to explore but the was no where near enough time. (We went there on a tour) Wide variety of things to buy. I was able to grab a couple dresses and some souvenirs for my family and friends. We had some almonds that were delicious and a couple fruit smoothies. We also had a traditional Thai meal...eggs, seafood soup (with the entire shrimp including the head) and another, I think, it was soup...but very spicy. When we first got there, the took us to the other side on a boat, it was like Italy. *fun fact* there is no toilet paper nor paper towels in the bathrooms. So be prepared to let everything air dry....lol But definitely go.

Pattaya Floating Market is a popular tourist spot, but overall, it’s an mixed experience. The entrance fee is on the higher side compared to what it offers. While the concept of a traditional floating market sounds exciting, the actual arrangement and environment are not as impressive or authentic as expected. The beauty and charm that one might hope for are somewhat lacking. It’s more of a place to check off from a list rather than one to truly enjoy. Worth a short visit if you’re nearby, but not something to go out of your way for.

The place is listed in the top of my Pattaya vacation with highest expectations. However the price was incredibly high, but the activity delivered almost nothing of value; the quality of food was shockingly poor and very unhealthy. For example I paid 800 B per person and 1600 for my wife and me. The list price is only 600 in google map. In one of fruit seller, she sold me a 300+ golden stale and fermenting Durian. I Felt still painful with grumpy stomach. The water was muddy and no sightseeing worthy of any photos. The boat is only about 10 minutes on muddy water pond. I would not recommend this to anyone because the price is high and the service is practically zero. I also recommend the local government should involve in the regulation of food, price, and activities fitted to the price.

I liked this place, but I recommend not taking the boat ride — it’s a waste of money. Just buy the 200-baht entry ticket and explore. Don’t go for the 800-baht ticket. Other than that, it’s a great place to visit, shop, and take photos.

Undoubtedly one of the best in the world. It was really a very delectable experience. The beautiful black gondola-like boat meandering through the narrow canals bordered by endless small shops on either side is an amazing sight, and, of course, an unforgettable experience. It was nice to watch the innumerable small boats serving as little shops selling everything on earth. One thing worth mentioning is the perfect cleanliness of the place. Hats off to the people and the authorities, for keeping such a busy place so neat and clean

Overall park itself was big and beautiful and elephants there were also impressive. Mobility service was also great convenience but.... too much dinosaurs even some are artificially created one... was... not really great. May kids are like this but not for adults tourists. If you feel tired by heat then visit BigC

Well one of the must visit place in Pattaya. You can visit here with your family or friends and spend some quality time. It is away from the main city ,you can book a cab or any group tour. But you can easily get Grab/bolt. This place needs your full day to explore. This place is good for childrens. Tickets should be book in advance.

If you are three lover and interested in knowing different varieties of tree plants, flowers, this is the place for you to go. It’s huge categorised in proper manner. Be ready to walk more. Spend time over there or else you can just take a tour from outside (you won’t be able to see much from outside). The elephant show place is also nearby, so if you are planning to go over there, then take little extra time to visit there as well. It can be a day affair.

The one of the best tour scene for foreigners. It’s not only the gardens, but there are so many artistic works on the walking zones. We encountered the heavy rain during the day which, however, we were dry due to covered sky gardens. The food in the cafeteria was good and the drink is perfect made. The dinosaur zone is vivid and educational. Amazing that I never saw such around the world. The best price, of course are comprehensive one in the world. In the addition the folk dance show as well as the elephant show are so well organized, and the elephants are well trained and so awesome in that and very entertaining. I would recommend to come next time with the kids or grandkids. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough time to finish all to comers. I highly recommend to everybody who stays few days in Pattaya.

For the show in the theater, only the first part of it worth seeing, showing about the traditional Thai provience clothing's and dance. The second part is some old pop song with fancy dancers. Other places of this garden is too big to walk, although you can take the sightseeing mini bus, but only you will see some concrete dino and animal statue. Food inside is good and cheap, no worries.

Amazing place with Art of Intelligence...... Its a suitable to all where you have cultural show , elephant show , park visit , various plants / trees , amazing art work advanced technology used for demonstration. ... Fabulous.... Amaong top 10 beautiful parks for a very good and genuine reason..... Must visit

As much as garden is impressive and I really enjoyed visiting it, I didn't realise they keep elephants on hand and they let people ride them. I cannot watch cruelty like that! I got really upset when I saw staff member training young elephant to be ridden on and was hitting it with a stick in the head. Poor animals so abused and frightened. Garden might be the most amazing, I post photos, but I will never visit it again. Not contributing to animal cruelty
