Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden is well worth a visit, especially if you’re already exploring the Mae Rim area. We visited on a hot day in February, and the scale of the gardens really stood out. The canopy walkway was a highlight—beautifully constructed and genuinely high up in the trees. Walking above the forest was fascinating, though looking straight down through the walkway is definitely a little nerve-wracking. We saw lots of interesting insects along the way, which added to the sense of being immersed in the environment. The glasshouses were also excellent—beautifully maintained, with obvious care and thought put into the planting and layout. The landscaping throughout the gardens is meticulous and varied. The gardens cover a large area with quite distinct zones, and driving between different sections made it easy to see more without getting exhausted in the heat. Entry was good value at just a few hundred baht including the car, and there’s plenty of parking. Overall, a very enjoyable visit and a great addition to a day out, especially with so many other attractions nearby.
A fantastic day trip option when you are in Chiang Mai. Make sure you have some time. You can easily spend three hours here. And they close quite early. The ride (or drive) to the botanic garden is nice already. And once you get here you get rewarded by nice walks, great scenery and interesting tropical plant species.
Thailand's very first botanic garden is now major travel destination in Mae Rim district covering a mountainous area of 560 acres and displays a vast collection of plants from different climates around the world. Established in 1992 to honor HM Queen Sirikit, the garden features several highlights including a Rainforest Glasshouse where you get to walk amid abundant kinds of plants from all tropical forests in Asia. There are a number of walking trails provided but also feel free to walk around and enjoy the lush green without any orders. Opening hours: Daily 8.30 am.- 4.30 pm. Admission: 150 baht for foreigner adults, thais 50 baht
The center point of the venue along with the natural museum and canopy walk. The garden consists of many glass houses with each dedicated to a group of plants like ferns/orchids, cactus, pineapple species, and carnivore plants. The garden with the fountain in front makes a good photo spot. There is a parking up on the hill on the back with a souvenir shop and walk way through a lovely rose garden down to the glass houses. One can spend a few hours here with all the plants and flowers. The collection here is probably the largest as far as I have seen, and it is very well maintained and organized.
A day well spent there to learn about plants and trees. It's suitable for families and kids. Entrance fees is THB 150 per pax for foreigners. Though it was sunny on that day, the air was cool when you were in shade. It's so enjoyable to visit different plant houses especially the big cactus. Restaurant at the plant house offers a simple food.
