Phuket Botanic Garden — Attraction in Chalong

Same as previous reviews, could be amazing! Unfortunately it's clear whoever owns this place has not invested a penny for years. We love plants, the owners do not

500 baht should not be given by a single person until They look after the plants and animals properly.

It's such a shame as the mature plants are doing so well.

Avoid the wooden walkways. Except the one you have to traverse to leave!!! Mosquito i to be expected so prepare accordingly. Two peacocks in very small cages and should be left to roam. Poor tortoise i sharing a cage with the peacocks.

Water looked old. Terrible.

I love guinea pigs and keep many of them at home in Uk these poor pigs were in a greenhouse. They had been breeding, who knows if any checks have been done. Their house was dirty and didn't look like they had much escape from the heat. If I could have put the pigs in my suitcase I would have done.

I worry what would happen if it shuts down but with some TLC it could and should be a visitor hotspot. Also not far from the Chalong so could be a great stop for tourists on the way.

Forewarned...

Cashpoint was closed, main entrance also :( Old Thai man called us into souvenir shop to buy tickets 500 bat for one person.

I would like to see garden when it was nicely cared and maybe price 500 bat was sincere.

But now it doesnt worth it to see sad garden paiyng so high price.

I hope they Will survive and repair their...

The experience for sure not worth 500 B. We entered through the side, not main entrance, although it was the middle of the day. The place looks abandoned. There was no one inside, no guests, no keepers. By the end of the walk which took about an hour we saw one Thai man who did not speak English. Plants did not look taken care of and some facilities should for sure be restored. We enjoyed our time there, just not worth the money. If you come inside, feed the fish for sure, they seemed very hungry. You might have a better experience if you’re an influencer looking for cute pics spots or if you bring a beer or lunch to stay longer and sit down. But beware of insects which will eat you alive, bring long sleeves or...
