If you go to Nong Nuch Tropical Garden as a tourist, you will be ushered into a show with elephants and dancers and it is all rather tacky; and expensive. But if you turn up and wave your Thai driving licence to prove you live here, and explain you don’t want to see the dancing elephants; then 100 baht will gain you entry to some very attractive gardens.
I must admit that gardens are not really my thing. The only flower I can name is a dandelion, and tending a garden is too much like hard work. But I enjoy wandering around Nong Nuch with a camera, and spent a couple of hours there this morning.
