Attractions: Phuket Botanic Garden

Phuket Botanic Garden is divided into a number of zones that include the rainforest garden, the winter garden, the orchid pavilion display and at least 30 other zones with rare species of plants.

Phuket Botanic Garden houses 50 different varieties of cactus as well as interesting herbs and fruits. The gardens are well-maintained and include unique sculptures and lotus ponds.

There is also an exhibition of the average Thai farmer on display which features a rice field, small house and vegetable garden. The display shows how farmers gain benefits from their own hard work and why in the olden days, farmers barely needed to buy any other resources for food.

Phuket Botanic Garden opened in 2012, and is a rather large venue that covers 15 rai of land. It is open every day, except Wednesday, from 9:00am until 5:00pm. Entrance fee for adults is 500 THB and for children the fee is 300 THB.
