What it is
Nong Nooch Tropical Garden (also known as Nong Nooch Village) is a world-class botanical garden and resort located in the Na Jomtien area of Chonburi Province, roughly 18 km south of Pattaya city center. Founded by the Tansacha family, the estate is widely cited as one of the largest tropical botanical gardens in Southeast Asia, housing more than 12,000 plant species across elaborately landscaped themed zones. Beyond the gardens, the property operates a daily entertainment program staged in an open-air amphitheater, blending traditional Thai dance, Muay Thai demonstrations, and an elephant performance into a single show. With multiple ticket tiers — from garden-only admission to all-inclusive packages with a tram ride, buffet lunch, and cultural show — Nong Nooch appeals to solo travelers, couples, and families alike, typically requiring a half-day to full day to explore comfortably.
Highlights
- French Garden: a formal Versailles-inspired design with symmetrical stone pathways, geometrically clipped hedges, and manicured topiary — the most photographed section of the park
- Dinosaur Valley: more than 180 life-sized dinosaur replicas spread across the grounds near French Garden 2, opened in 2017 and anchored by a Triceratops as its first model
- Stonehenge Replica Garden: a life-sized recreation of the iconic English monument set within tropical greenery, built in 2000
- Thai Cultural and Elephant Show: a daily open-air performance (typically at 10:30, 11:30, 13:30, and 15:30) featuring classical Thai dance, Muay Thai, and elephants showcasing their intelligence and agility
- Orchid and Bromeliad Display Garden: a dedicated greenhouse section highlighting rare hybrid orchids and exotic bromeliads
- Cactus and Succulent Garden: an extensive collection of arid-climate plants contrasting the park's lush tropical canopy

Frequently asked
- What is the difference between the admission-only ticket and the show package at Nong Nooch?
- The base admission ticket gives you access to all the themed garden zones — including the French Garden, Dinosaur Valley, Stonehenge replica, Orchid Garden, and Cactus Garden. The Thai cultural and elephant show is a separate experience staged in the park's open-air amphitheater; it is typically sold as an add-on or as part of a bundled package. Some bundles also include a tram (sightseeing bus) ride and a Thai buffet lunch. Compare current tiers on booking platforms like Klook or KKday, as pricing and inclusions can change.
- How many times a day does the Thai cultural and elephant show run, and how long is it?
- The show is reported to run approximately four times daily, with start times typically around 10:30, 11:30, 13:30, and 15:30. Show length can vary, but visitors generally report performances lasting roughly 60–80 minutes. Confirm the current schedule at the venue or on your booking confirmation, as times are subject to change.
