Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden

Located in the Mae Sa Valley, a popular recreation area mountain just 45 minutes - 1 hour drive from Chiang Mai - Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden at 960 hectares (2,372 acres) is by far the largest and most important botanical garden in Thailand fan. If you are a botanical, travel to Thailand is not complete if you plan to last a day or two to visit this fascinating plant. Since there is so much ground to cover here, Isuggest you live in one of the fine houses in the vicinity of the Garden in Mae Sa Valley to stay in as opposed to Chiang Mai.

Opened in 1993, this garden was created in Thailand botanical research center and visitors wanted to find out more about the plants and flowers. Believe me, QSBG huge. When I visited these gardens over 2 years ago, I did not have enough time to thoroughly tour the property, maybe next time there are a number of interesting botanical hikesthat crisscross and circle the hilly land with prominent displays of tropical plants and flowers. One way leads to introduce you to Thai plants and local medicinal plants, provides another route climbers and vines. Or maybe you want to take a hike to a small waterfall on the route you'll pass by the Thai rock garden. This road ends at the Thai Orchid Nursery, home to over 350 native orchid species. Although, I do not have enough time to explore one of these lines, Itell me any way takes 40-60 minutes.

While I was there I visited the greenhouse conservatory, the rain forest show houses. Complete with an electrically driven artificial waterfall, offers this exhibition, many of the plants that grow in the rainforest - ginger, anthuriums, ferns, cycads, impatiens, begonias and other species. There are a number of temperature-controlled greenhouse on the hill, each from a different group or categoryPlants and flowers. One of the greenhouses has an amazing collection of begonias, another features mostly Thai medicinal plants and herbs. The most unusual and exotic plant that I was discovered in the Bat Plant (Tacca chantrieri), indigenous to Southeast Asia. The greenhouse issue with an eclectic selection of water lilies and lotus flowers, was very impressive. Check out the stark contrast between the very clear and strict marble planters and the big black pots (seePicture). Factoid - The water lily is a sacred plant in the Buddhist religion.
