Located about 30 kilometers out of Bangkok, the Rose Garden (Suan Sam Phran) offers some of the nicest gardens you are ever likely to see. The site comprises 75 acres of perfectly manicured grounds with a lake as a central feature. Certainly a place for gentle strolls and picnics, the resort also offers a number of excellent restaurants alongside cultural shows including handicraft skills, Thai boxing, and sword fighting. For the children’s entertainment there’s also an elephant show, and for adults, the site has its own golf course and a spa.
I must say I didn't quite know what to expect before I arrived but what I saw exceeded all expectations. The Rose Garden’s award-winning Cultural Centre transported us into a typical Thai Village, where villagers guided us through some of the iconic experiences of Traditional Thai Living. Lunch in the Vanda Pavilion was also most satisfying following an excellent show by the elephants and their mahouts. If time permits during your stay in Bangkok I would suggest you make the journey here. You will not be disappointed.
