I honestly don't know what to say! I'm speechless.
This place claims "one of the World's top 10 gardens" and it's not kidding!
It's like Disney on steroids with its synchronised cocktail of "fake" and "living" artifacts and specimens. And let me tell you, the "fake" stuff isn't tacky or cheap. It's art!
With two amazing 45-minute shows, a hop-on, hop-off bus and a delicious unlimited buffet lunch it has to be one of the best value attractions in the World too; at just £15 (600bht) for the lot (Booked online - at the gate it's £25 (1,000bht).

It's just a masterpiece. The place is little far from the central Pattaya area but it's worth visiting. Highly recommend to book the ticket with sightseeing bus as the place is huge and difficult to cover by walking.
Elephant ride is also good. The other theatre shows are way expensive so one can ignore that. There are cafes there to have small meal and other drinks

We were 3 adults and 2 children and it was a very appreciated visit by everyone. We paid for admission only but there were lots of packages to choose from. Nice and clean. There are toilets and cafes in many places. Definitely worth a visit for dinosaur lovers. To take a taxi return from pattaya c costs about 1000 baht.

Very large and beautifully landscaped garden that you can discover largely sheltered from the sun. You can spend all day here if you want. Unfortunately, the contrast of the beauty of variety of plants, trees and flowers is too great for me with the almost ridiculous kitschyness of the untold number of artificial images of all kinds of animals in the most childlike colors. You become almost impassable at the sight of so much kitsch. The Chinese may love it, but for a Westerner this is really blowing a beautiful concept.
One more thing... stay AWAY from the elephants you can 'feed', take a ride with them and pick up those tips with their trunks.
Please think about how those (wild) animals were forced to ‘train’ for this purpose. A wild animal belongs in its habitat and should not be played off for the brief pleasure of the unsuspecting tourist...

This place could be lovely but they can't make up their minds whether they are a theme park to attract children or a series of gardens. The gardens themselves are beautifully kept and pretty (although the French gardens had English telephone boxes)! But the different gardens were spoilt by huge plastic dinosaurs and animals dotted around inappropriately. There was a 'buggy' to transport people around but it was unclear exactly how this worked and no commentary; we stopped at the first garden which was beautiful and had many orchids displayed but weren't sure how long the stop was for or if we should get on the next one and the buggy didn't seem to go to all the gardens. There was awful music going on too which was quite unnecessary. In my mind the elephant rides were an unnecessary feature too. It would have been really helpful to have been given a map of the gardens as they are quite extensive and we found it difficult to know what we'd covered or not, and it was quite an effort to walk around, especially in the heat

If I was rating this place on the gardens alone it would be 5 stars but watching the poor elephants giving countless rides to tourists being controlled with hooks was very saddening.
That aside this place is absolutely beautiful, the gardens pristine. I’d suggest when buying your entry ticket to get with shuttle bus as you can jump on and off to the various parts and it’s the only way to see inside the green houses. Wheel access is reasonable good.
On the way out you walk past the elegant pens with sad looking elephants.

Where do I start?
First of all this place is absolutely massive like at my first visit I would say me and my family travelled around 40-60% of the Garden, I'm just saying this before my second visit since this Garden is worth exploring to it's max.
I heavily recommend this Garden for families as it is a blast for kids who are dinosaur fans like I didn't expect there to be dinosaur statues at the Garden in the first place but this Garden just exceeds my expectations tenfold, and the cherry on top is the sheer magnitude of their size like I had to turn my head 90 degrees up just so I could see the sauropods (long neck dinos) I'm just absolutely mind blown after my visit and so would your family.
The garden also houses so many attractions such as elephant rides, tour busses around the complex and animal feeding.
Before I tie the bow on this review I'll have to mention one more thing which was the amount of photos you will get from this trip like I think I filled up around 5 gigabytes of storage just from photo and one tiny thing is how funny that multiple of the raptors have birds nests on them which was some nice fun.
In terms of Botanical Garden's I would say this park has zero competition in my opinion like I have never seen a garden have so much things and be so large at the same time.
It truly is the Disney Land of Thailand.

Magnificent Garden. Actually, this is among the ten most beautiful gardens around the world. Very educational for students. The plants and other stuff inside are entertaining and beautifully designed. This is so huge that you may need to explore by bus or you may also walk around. Worthy to visit.

Kids loved the elephant show. You can feed bananas, take pictures with elephants for a small fee. Bring enough cash and have fun.
Plan to come early, stay hydrated and ready to walk around the park.

The park will be remembered for a long time. There is so much money and labor invested and it is clearly paying off, there is no stopping tourists. You can just come for a walk, enjoy the beauty of the gardens, take pictures with thousands of figures and compositions, learn something new, watch the show.

Здравствуйте! Я приобрёл билеты в сад Нонг Нуч через сайт Klook. Наши планы изменились и мы решили отменить поездку в Паттайю. Билеты оказались невозвратными. Поддержка Klook порекомендовала мне продать или подарить эти билеты кому-нибудь
Есть 2 билета на 26.12.2019.
Если кто-нибудь собирается посетить Нонг-Нуч в эти даты - пишите

The tigers are drugged which is the only reason you can take photos with them. Appalling animal abuse. Elephants are brutally tortured from babies to train them to behave in ways they would not in the wild. This is not just for this attraction but is the case everywhere they have these types of animal shows or photo opportunities. Please consider these things before supporting them. You can buy bananas to feed the elephants for 50b, which is good fun and harmless to the animal.
The gardens are beautiful in their own right, so maybe just enjoy those and don't support the abuse of animals.

Are there shopping options in this place? Any souvenir shops etc?
Written June 29, 2019
The shop is big and has souvenirs, clothing and lots more. They have lots of stuffed animals. They have lots of things for children and for adults as well. I think the prices might be higher than on a marked, but they had some nice stuff, my wife and her daughter spend quite some time in that shop

Добрый день. Подскажите цену. пожалуйста. И как добраться самостоятельно из Патайи?
Written June 14, 2019
Здравствуйте. Вход на территорию парка для взрослого 500 бат. Это только входной билет, без шоу программ, проводимых каждый день. Парк находится к Югу от Паттайи на 163 км трассы на Сунхумвит. Общественный транспорт сюда не ходит. Такси обойдётся в среднем в 300 бат в одну сторону. Давно подсчитано многими туристами, что организованная экскурсия (обычно 800 бат с человека) выходит и дешевле и проще. Решать Вам. Удачи!

Is It Necessary to book coral island trip before going to pattaya.are seats limited.?
My wife is not sure of scuba and snorkelling so why should I pay now.
Can we go to hotel and book .as per time. and can bargain is possible in this trip (coral island).
Written February 16, 2019
Definitely wait until you arrive in Pattaya tocheck weather and tide conditions.
Go to a tour booth,travel agent to get an approximate price.
Then let the hotel meet thst price but know that everything will go smoother and safer.
