Why Royal Flora Ratchaphruek is special ?
Royal Flora Ratchaphruek is named after Thailand’s national flower Ratchaphruek (Cassia fistula or golden shower tree) with its beautiful yellow blossom. One of the park’s highlights is the orchid pavilion with its countless species of orchids in many colors.
In 2006 the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek opened its doors when an international flower festival was held to celebrate the 60th anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s (Rama IX) accession to the throne. Now open all year, the park’s well kept grounds feature a large number of beautiful botanical gardens each with a specific theme, indoor exhibitions, ponds with lotus flowers and the Ho Kham Royal Pavilion at the center of the park.

Tips for you
Reviews
We spent here around three hours but can do in two and spend half a day. The park is nice with variety of greenhouses, flower-themed gardens, architectural tributes to other asian countries, great temple, train to cut the walking and food and drink opportunities with ample public toilets. The main temple is bit too much propaganda for thai royal family but overall nicely sculpted park with picturesque views of the main temple from all angles.
Many nations had set up national garden at this park. In the heart of the garden, there is a stunning wooden audience hall where there is an exhibition of H.M. The King's royal projects.
