Nong Nooch is a vast tropical garden with a French baroque garden, a cactus house and one of the world's largest cycad collections. There are daily culture and elephant shows on top of that.
Getting there
The garden lies around 18 kilometres south of Pattaya on Sukhumvit Road. If you have just landed, a pre-booked private transfer at a fixed price from $53 gets you there without changing vehicles – up to 90 minutes of waiting time at the airport are included.
Tips for your visit
Plan half a day. The electric buggy is worth it given the size of the grounds. For families with children, arriving by transfer with a child seat is the most relaxed option.
Good to know
For the way from Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang or U-Tapao Airport to Pattaya, vehicles for 1 to 19 people are available, with a child seat on request and a fixed price with no meter.
