    Beautiful gardens and very popular place to take photos with the flowers. It seems the gardeners are constantly on the move replacing flower beds past their best with new flowers to keep the gardens looking colourful. There are several viewing platforms and places to sit within the grounds as well as several small greenhouses. I highly recommend the coffee shop for an espresso before you enter the gardens, totally delicious and made from coffee beans grown and roasted in the Thai mountains.

    This garden is well worth the drive up from Chiang Rai. Such a beautiful and well maintained garden. Entry is 90b for adults and 45b for seniors. Wander along the many pathways, check out the flowers and view of surrounding mountains, or just relax on one of the many shady benches. And don't forget to check out the orchid exhibit, for sure the largest assortment of lady slippers I've ever seen in one place. The garden is huge, so even if there's a crowd you can still find a little spot of your own. When I was there, the treetop section was closed, so keep that in mind before making the drive, if your heart was set on that. Clean toilets at the entry and inside, and a small coffee stand and ice cream stand inside. Just down the road (short walk) are some food sellers and a handicraft section.

    Just a really beautiful place to be in the moment - stunning views over the mountain. Look out for some sneaky views on the road up / down the mountain. Suspension bridge closed at time of posting. Restaurant there was great for some Pad Thai but don’t expect Western food.

    Beautifully manicured garden. Best to visit on weekdays as a lot of visitors are local Thais from other parts of the country.

    A Wonderful garden. The garden is well maintained and features many plants and flowers. It takes around 30-60 mins to complete the walk depending on how fast you walk and how long you stop to view each spot. There are many seats that you can sit and relax, including a small cafe and a toilet. The highlight for us was Venus Slipper flower. You should take your time to enjoy this lovely garden.

    Mae Fah Luang Garden is located in Doi Tung area (also including nearby Doi Tung Royal Villa, Hall of Inspiration). It has fountain, beautiful flowers decorated with different concept for your visit, looking or posing pictures. And the key highlight here is The sculpture "Continuity", ends of the Garden to exit gate. Must visit when you arrive Chiang Rai. 2/2019

    Large space and would need some time to explore the whole area. I only visited the gardens for a fee of 90 baht. Lovely display and landscape for photo opportunities. There are some food stalls around the area. You could also get some souvenirs and plants.

    This garden is part of the Royal Project at Doi Tung. It's worth going here all year long. Appreciate the cooler mountain weather and relax in a colourful garden. In the cold season, on weekends and holidays, you can find a beautiful little walking street on the road between Royal Garden and Villa. In front of the garden is an hilltribe market with local products.

    Absolutely loved this place. Very colorful, peaceful and you can learn many facts about nature and flowers. The design is nice for walking around and enjoy the beautiful arrangement of flowers and plants. You will have a lot of opportunities to take pretty photos everywhere and spend a lot of time enjoying nature and the nice weather on top of the mountains here. A must when you’re in Chiang Rai!

    Lots of flowers, even in October. Not that big, worth visiting if in vicinity.

    A great experience to visit the place where Somdet Ya used to live, and the garden is well taken care of and really beautiful.

    After driving up a long narrow mountain road you arrive at the top of Doi Tung and the Gardens. Quaint little "village" of sorts with plenty if Doi Tung coffee and hillside textiles for sale. There were only 8 people we saw walking around so it was pretty amazing to have so much area with no one around. We didn't go to the estate as we arrived in the late afternoon. Any other year I would have given this place a pass. There would be too many tour busses.

    Great place to spend a few hours at, including the Royal Villa

  • 5/5 Simon G. 4 years ago on Google
    These gardens and the drive here from either direction is absolutely stunning. I wish I would have had an hour or two more to relax in the surreal flower arrangements.

  • 5/5 Asheesh G. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice and beautiful garden of flowers. Pros 1. Ticket price 90 THB in 2023, 50% discount for senior citizens. 2. It is a big garden with several colorful flowers and rare plants including the Venus flytrap plant. 3. There are some activities for kids like a swing and big hollow status for kids to climb into. 4. Great toilets. 5. Not too far from Chiang Rai but it will fill the afternoon. 6. It might take 30-60 minutes to visit depending on your speed and the Sun. 7. Nice place to bring young kids. 8. Restaurant and souvenir shops 9. Several fruit stalls Considerations 1. It is an open garden without many shady areas. Please carry an umbrella. 2. You might buy a combo ticket for a cheaper price but consider about the third spot. It is 9KM from the garden at a steep hill road. 3.

    Weird funny cute and yummie flowers. My fav was Dusty Miller (the grey leaves) and orchids. Lovely weather (18c). Doitung ice cream was very good and cheap (60 thb per scoop).

    If you have the time and vehicle access to visit, definitely a must visit for the garden. The flowers look very vibrant and well taken care of. Great spot for taking pictures
