Nongnooch Pattaya Garden

This guide to Nongnooch Pattaya Garden traces how a 1954 fruit farm on six hundred acres outside Pattaya became something else entirely, after founder Nongnooch Tansacha toured the world's great gardens and came home with a different plan. You'll hear how she spent twenty-five years designing it herself before the gates opened in 1980, and how her son Kampon later added a Versailles-style French garden and a vast cycad collection. It follows one family's decades-long bet against the orchard they first imagined.
