Nongnooch Garden Pattaya Opens To The Public

Pattaya is known for its beach, food and entertainment and it is only less than two hour drive from Bangkok. However, not many people visited Nongnooch Garden in Pattaya. The Nongnooch Garden is 600 acres in size and it is voted as one of the top 10 gardens in the world! They were closed due to the COVID-19 restrictions by the Thai government a few months ago but the good news is Nongnooch Garden Pattaya Opens To The Public from 10^th September 2021.

The Nongnooch Garden is located in between U-Tapao Airport and Pattaya city and it takes around 20 mins drive from either the airport or the city. This area was purchased by Mr Pisit and Mrs Nongnooch Tansacha in 1954 and it was planned to become a fruit plantation of mangoes, oranges and coconuts as well as many other local fruits.

However during a trip aboard, Mrs Nongnooch was inspired by the beauty of world renowned gardens and decided to turn the fruit orchard into a tropical garden of ornamental flowers and plants. The garden was later turned into a tourist attraction fully equipped with accommodation, a swimming pool, restaurants, and banquet and seminar halls for the tourist’s convenience. Nongnooch Tropical Garden is opened to public in 1980 and it is transformed to a popular tourist attraction in Pattaya.

The Nongnooch Garden hosted the Miss Universe Final in 2018 and also many other important events and movies for decades.

We visited the Nongnooch Garden a few years ago and amazed by the dedicated of the owner, Mr Kampon Tansacha in transforming Nongnooch Garden Pattaya into one of the most beautiful gardens in the world.
