We took a yellow songthaew from Warorot market at 40 Thai Baht per person to the botanic garden. The journey took about an hour. Entrance fee is free for senior over 60s. We were recommended to take a tram to the garden as it was quite a walk. The tram was 30 baht per person. The first stop was at the canopy. It was a very impressive walkway with fantastic views. The driver then took us to the glasshouse gardens. This was divided into different sections with alpine plants, orchids, cactus and rain forest. Particularly impressive was the large rain forest glass house with a massive waterfall. We meant to visit the natural science museum but we ran out of time. We will do it on our next visit. Highly recommend.

The Ratchaphruek Flower Gardens are a must-see when visiting the Chiang Mai area. The expansive gardens are incredibly picturesque. Bike rentals are available and, for less active travelers, an electric bus is available to take you around.

The Royal Park absolutely deserves to be a top 5 attraction in Chiang Mai. It is incredible. Hundreds of acres of flowers and plants from around the world. I’m not a huge garden or nature guy, but this place blew me away. My fiancé and I spent hours walking the park, including visiting the orchid pavilion and the country area, which features plants from countries around the world. We saw many tourists taking the tram during their visit, and it seems like few people walk beyond the center area. In my opinion, that’s a mistake. There is so much to see and you will miss 90% of it if you are on the tram. It takes 3-4 hours to walk the entire grounds, and is well worth doing. You can stop at their tasty restaurant, which is about half way through, if that is too much walking for you in one go.

What a find! I don't understand why this place is not talked about more in Chiang Mai. The gardens are beautiful and there is so much to see. Different types of plants, amazing topiary animals, live animals including camels and ostriches, peddle-boats, children's play park, and a maze. You can go around in a golf buggy or hire bicycles. There is an excellent buffet restaurant for lunch in the same grounds with Thai, Western, Japanese foods. An excellent place for families but even our teenage son loved riding the bike around freely.

The first erotic garden in Southeast Asia, conceived and created by Miss Katai. A magnificent cultural and natural landscape of erotic flowing plants and artworks, surrounded by verdant rice fields and a mountain panorama. Great photo opportunities. Free drink from the teahouse included. Katai is often available as a tour guide or for conversation. Relax and enjoy!

Accidentally bumped into this hidden gems garden and tea house in the middle of nowhere while traveling to a Buddhist temple in the area. I must say it was a pleasant surprise to see such a beautiful garden with Erotic art pieces decorated within the garden. As a art lover myself it was great to see how everything were carefully thought out how each piece would fit in the landscape design. As a world traveler I honestly can say I have not seen it anywhere and it's great to see this place in Thailand where it's quite difficult to find modern art venues. If you are art lovers or garden lovers you would not want to miss out the opportunity to check out this place. The owner; Khun Tai is super friendly and enthusiastic to elaborate each design aspect of the garden and explain the concepts of each art pieces. She was part of making the visit a memorable experience as there's a lot of thoughts put in the design of the place. It's also a perfect venue if you want to use this place for a small group gatherings or small party among art lovers .
