Story"A peaceful day in Nong Nooch Tropical Garden"
A little more than two hours is necessary to reach the place that is very popular among nature lovers and a day is easily spent there enjoying the many activities such as a cultural and elephant show, a mini zoo, a clay pottery factory, a huge lake, a butterfly house and the different amazing gardens. Having left Bangkok early in the morning, it was pleasant to have breakfast in the restaurant over the lake and start to enjoy the peace of the place.
