 In 1954 Mr.Pisit and Mrs. Nongnooch
Tansacha bought 1500 rais (approximately
600 acres) of rolling hills and valleys at
kilometer marker 163 on Sukhumvit road in Chonburi
province. The newly purchased land was anticipated
to become a fruit plantation filled with mangoes,
oranges, coconuts as well as many other local
fruits. But as fate may have it, Mrs. Nongnooch
during her trip abroad, was inspired by the beauty
of the world-renowned gardens and decided to turn
the fruit orchard into a tropical garden of
ornamental flowers and plants. At first meant for
botanical conservation, the garden was later
turned into a tourist attraction fully equipped
with Thai style houses, cottages, villas, seminar
halls, banquet halls, swimming pool, restaurants
as well as other facilities constructed for
tourist's convenience.
 Opened to the public in 1980 , the garden was named Suan
Nong Nooch in honor of Mrs. Nongnooch,
as the word Suan means garden. In addition to
continuing on her life's work of the garden, Mrs.
Noongnooch spends her time between Bangkok and the
orchard in Chieng-rai as well as Nong Nooch
camping resort in Prachinburi province, which made
its debut in 2001. In order to maintain the
gardens, management was than handed over to her
son, Mr. Kampon Tansacha.
Presently, Nong Nooch Tropical
Garden & Resort is well known to
those who want to take in an impressive Thai
Cultural Show and find the biggest and most
beautiful botanical garden in Southeast Asia. More
than 2,000 visitors from around the world visit
our garden daily for their enjoyment. At Nong
Nooch Tropical Garden, we're always developing and
improving the beautification process in order for
the garden to look as it does today. Nong Nooch
garden is also dedicated to education,
preservation, research as well as the conservation
of its vast palm collection and other tropical
plants.
 Since its debut as a tourist
attraction, fascinating Thai Culture and
traditional dances are presented daily in
the theater within the garden compound. Besides
the traditional shows, visitors will have an
opportunity to see other performances such as
religious ceremonies, martial arts, and The Elephant Show one of the
most popular attractions here. The shows are
presented 3 or 4 rounds daily featuring elephants
with special skills in playing football, dancing,
and even interacting with tourists!!! Come ride on
elephants, sightsee the garden via mini bus or
relax in our lake on a pedal boat. Savor the taste
of Thailand and other Western style food and
