The Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden is a sprawling oasis of natural beauty that offers visitors a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Spread across a vast expanse, the garden is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst lush greenery and picturesque landscapes. One of the standout features of the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden is its sheer size. Spanning acres of land, the garden provides ample space for leisurely strolls, exploration, and relaxation. Despite its vastness, the garden is often not crowded, making it the perfect destination for those looking to immerse themselves in nature without the crowds. Located a bit far from the city center, I highly recommend driving or biking to the garden on your own. This allows you the flexibility to explore at your own pace and truly appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. For an optimal experience, I suggest visiting in the morning to beat the heat and enjoy the park when it feels like you have it all to yourself. While walking is an option, I recommend paying a little extra to take the bus around the garden, especially if you want to cover more ground and avoid fatigue. Alternatively, you can drive your car or bike inside the garden if you prefer to take your time and explore at your own leisure. The highlight of my visit was the mesmerizing glass house, which showcased a stunning array of plants and flowers. Additionally, the canopy walk, though a bit daunting for those afraid of heights, offers breathtaking views and is well worth the experience. It's important to note that the garden only accepts cash at the entrance and all souvenir shops inside, so be sure to come prepared. If you decide to take a Grab to the garden, I recommend asking the driver to wait for you as there are no Grabs available for the return journey to the city. In conclusion, the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and anyone seeking a peaceful retreat into the heart of nature. With its vast expanses, stunning attractions, and tranquil ambiance, it's the perfect place to reconnect with the natural world and unwind amidst breathtaking surroundings.

A lot of trees and flowers species. Nice for sightseeing and many exotic plant to see. You can visit the canopy walk which about 15 minutes walk all along the way. Exploring the garden's canopy walk adds an adventurous element to the visit, allowing visitors to observe the lush foliage from a different perspective. The elevated walkway provides a unique vantage point for capturing stunning photographs. One of the most striking aspects of the garden is its diverse collection of flora, meticulously curated to showcase Thailand's rich botanical heritage. From exotic orchids to towering bamboo forests, every corner unveils a new botanical wonder waiting to be explored. The themed gardens, such as the Rainforest Garden and the Conservatory, provide immersive experiences that highlight different ecosystems and plant species. As the day progresses, the sunlight filters through the canopy, casting enchanting patterns on the forest floor. While the heat can be intense, especially during the summer months, the garden's strategic placement of shaded resting areas offers respite for weary travelers. You should bring an umbrella or a hat with your walk. Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden is a treasure trove of natural beauty and cultural heritage, offering an enriching experience for visitors of all ages. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a photography enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, this botanical gem never fails to captivate and inspire.

This place is really cool. The canopy walk is genuinely great and seems really high up and offers great views. The greenhouses with different plant types is really neat too. So much variety and beauty. There are other things to see but the main challenge with this place is the topography and the way they’ve decided to handle it. Instead of actually running the little “busses/golf carts” they’ve got, they ask you to drive your own car. The problem is that there are only a few places to park and you’re not really allowed to drive the second half of the loop. This mast that you’ll find yourself parking and then backtracking a few hundred meters down the mountain to see something then back up to your car afterwards. Repeat this multiple times and you’ll start wondering why they don’t just run the little busses in a continuous 10 minute loop and drop you off at the stations. All in all, this place is a wonderful asset to the area and highlights some very important environmental work happening in Thailand. I’m glad it exists and I’d be happy to go back. Especially for the price (like 50-100 baht per person). They just need to thing through the logistics again so that visitors can more easily access all their sites.

We loved our day at Queen Sirikit Botanic Gardens! The place is huge and very hilly so you definitely need a lift between the different areas. We didn't see the shuttle bus while we were there so I'm not sure how often it runs, so I would recommend doing what we did and hiring a taxi for the day to ferry you from place to place. You definitely need a full day here- we had a full day and didn't get round half of it (although we were moving at a slow pace). The 'cafe' was extremely limited, selling only chicken curry and plain pasta (plain as in not even salted) and pot noodles which had meat in so there wasn't a single vegetarian option. It looked like part of the cafe was closed so maybe there will be more options in the future once this reopens but best not to risk it- I would recommend bringing your own food for lunch! Other than this blip, our day was wonderful. It was very quiet and peaceful and the displays were beautiful! This place set itself apart from other botanical gardens because not only did it have amazing plants but the way they were presented was like something you'd see at the Chelsea Flower Show: the design was exceptional. I would highly recommend visiting this place!

A huge botanical gardens with a very impressive display of plants. It is fantastic value for money- 100 baht which includes a free shuttle bus round the site. We were there for 3 hours and only managed to see the canopy walk, glasshouses and fountains, you could easily spend a day there. The canopy walk feels very safe, and gives you a great view of the surrounding mountains as well as all the plant life and flying lizards in the park. There is a great cafe at the entrance to the canopy walk which sells a fabulous range of icecream and ice lollies, as well as drinks, and has brilliant views. The glass houses are very well planted, each one completely different and atmospheric. The fern and orchid house has a small waterfall and rockpools for example, while the edible plants exhibit is planted like a garden. There is also an ethnobotany glass house, showing how different hill tribes interact with nature, and features some great replica houses and traditional craft items.

Trong những khu vườn rộng lớn ở đây, du khách sẽ được dạo bộ trên một cây cầu bắc ngang những ngọn cây và chiêm ngưỡng nhiều loài thực vật quý hiếm, đang có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng. Vườn thực vật Nữ hoàng Sirikit là một địa danh tuyệt đẹp với nhiều loài cây lạ, đường mòn tự nhiên và một nhà kính với kiến trúc ấn tượng chia thành nhiều khu. Bên trong đó còn có một bảo tàng trưng bày lịch sử thực vật của Thái Lan theo thời gian. Hãy dành thời gian tìm hiểu thế giới thực vật phong phú và sự đa dạng sinh học của xứ Chùa Vàng tại quần thể đẹp như tranh vẽ này. Khu vườn được khánh thành vào năm 1992 để phục vụ mục đích nghiên cứu và bảo tồn tài nguyên cây xanh của đất nước. Đây cũng là địa điểm lý tưởng để du khách chụp ảnh các loài cây vô cùng đặc biệt tô điểm cho công viên này. Đừng quên chuẩn bị sẵn một tấm khăn để tổ chức dã ngoại bên dòng suối thơ mộng róc rách chảy quanh vườn và tận hưởng làn gió trong lành ở khu vực núi non mát mẻ này. Khu tổ hợp Nhà kính được kiểm soát độ ẩm cho phù hợp với các loại cây nhiệt đới. Ở khu Bộ sưu tập Rừng mưa, du khách sẽ tìm thấy nhiều loài cây kỳ thú, như cọ và dương xỉ bản địa. Nếu như khu Nhà Thủy sinh là nơi sinh trưởng của các loài cây sống dưới ao hồ thì khu Xương rồng và Cây quả mọng lại hoàn toàn khác biệt với môi trường đất đai khô cằn. Chọn một trong bốn tuyến đường mòn quanh khu vườn để dạo bộ ngắm cảnh trong thời gian từ 30 đến 60 phút. Hành trình sẽ đưa du khách đến với vườn ươm hoa lan Thái Lan rộng lớn, khu vườn đá thanh bình và tiếng thác nước ào ạt tuôn trào. Những tuyến đường mòn khác uốn lượn xuyên qua khu vực rừng rậm bao quanh. Với độ cao 20m và chiều dài 370m, cây cầu có các đài vọng cảnh ốp kính mang đến cho du khách cơ hội ngắm nhìn quang cảnh phía dưới từ trên những tán cây xanh tốt. Một hoạt động thú vị không kém là xem chuyên gia ẩm thực chuẩn bị các món đặc sản của Thái Lan bằng gia vị và thảo mộc trồng trong vườn. Du khách có thể mua gia vị để mang về nhà. Dịch vụ ăn uống được phục vụ tại Botanic Residence trang nhã. Khu vườn được đặt theo tên của Nữ hoàng Sirikit của Thái Lan. Du khách trả phí vào tham quan vườn. Vườn thực vật mở cửa hàng ngày từ sáng đến chiều muộn. Do diện tích rộng lớn, du khách nên sử dụng xe hơi để đi lại xung quanh. Vườn thực vật Nữ hoàng Sirikit nằm ở vùng ngoại ô phía tây bắc của Chiang Mai, cách trung tâm thành phố 55km. Quần thể này nằm về phía bắc Công viên Quốc gia Doi Suthep-Pui và về phía đông Sông Mae Sa Noi. Từ trung tâm thành phố Chiang Mai, du khách sẽ mất khoảng 90 phút đi taxi hoặc tự lái xe để đến khu vườn.
