What we checked, 18 September 2026
Checked on 18 September 2026 on the operator's own booking and information pages. The booking page builds its prices with JavaScript, so the figures were read from the rendered page rather than the raw source. Tickets bought there are valid for five days. We have not been.
Verified via. The operator's own foreign booking page, read on 18 September 2026, lists Package 1 garden admission at 600 baht for an adult and 400 for a child, and states opening daily 08:00-18:00. Its Thai pages state the same hours with no day off. The address and the location at kilometre 163 of Sukhumvit Road are from its contact and about pages.
Admission
From ฿600. 600 baht for a foreign adult and 400 for a child, garden admission only, from the operator's own booking page. Children under 90cm free; over 140cm pay the adult rate. Shows, the sightseeing bus, hotel transfers and food are extra, and packages that include them cost more.
Nong Nooch is a landscaped garden on a huge scale about 20km south of central Pattaya in a straight line, at the 163 kilometre marker on Sukhumvit Road, as the operator puts it. Parts of it are serious horticulture. Other parts are a valley of life-size dinosaurs. It is built for crowds, and it gets them.
What it costs, from the operator’s own page. Garden admission alone is 600 baht for a foreign adult and 400 for a child. Children under 90 centimetres go free, and over 140 centimetres pay the adult price. That garden-only ticket excludes the cultural and elephant show, the sightseeing bus round the grounds, hotel transfers and food, all of which are sold as add-ons or in larger packages.
Hours and shows. Open every day from 08:00 to 18:00, with no closing day at all. The shows run at 10:30, 11:30, 13:30 and 15:30.
One thing to decide before you go. The operator sells an elephant show as part of its packages. Whether you want to include that is your call, and the garden-only ticket exists precisely so you do not have to.
Scale. The grounds are large enough that the sightseeing bus is useful rather than a gimmick, especially in the heat. The tickets bought online are valid for five days from booking.
What we have not done. Walked it.
Best for
A day of gardens that is genuinely spectacular in places and cheerfully kitsch in others
Skip if
You want a quiet botanic garden. Coaches arrive all day and the shows are the centre of gravity
