Royal Park Rajapruek, Botanical park in Mae Hia, Thailand
Royal Park Rajapruek is a botanical park in Mae Hia that spreads across a large area and displays plant species from Thailand and many international regions. Different thematic zones present specialized garden sections with various focuses, including tropical bonsai collections and insect houses.
The park opened in 2006 to celebrate the 80th birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. The Royal Flora Ratchaphruek exhibition marked an important moment in the country's garden landscape.
The Royal Pavilion displays traditional Lanna architectural styles that visitors encounter while walking through the gardens. Different sections incorporate design ideas from Japan, China, and other countries, giving the space an international character.
The park is located in a place that is easy to walk through, with paths for leisurely strolls and plenty of resting spots along the routes. Visitors should note that arriving early is helpful given the size of the space, so you can explore the different areas without rushing.
A dedicated butterfly house shelters live insects and shows information about their behavior and characteristics. This is complemented by an extensive collection of tropical bonsai trees, showing how traditional horticultural techniques connect with modern botanical collections.
