King Rama IX Royal Park 'The Botanical Garden', separated into many slices, stands on an area of 60 acres. Its fairytale beauty, along with its breathtaking venues, makes this spot the favorite corner of many visitors. Those who want to witness the archetypal natural landscape of Thailand should trip to the 'Rommaniya Garden' that features mountains, waterfalls, streams and forested areas of the country. The lush beauty and natural diversity of the place is also magnified with the help of different plant species and stones.

Another tourist hotspot is the artificial lake 'Prapang Kaew Keb Nam' in 'The Reservoir' area of the park. This artificial lake offers scores of water sports and serves as the ideal venue for various cultural activities. Apart from that, the 'Sanam Rasdara', the large grassy area of the park, presents various delights in the form of sporting events, musical performances and outdoor concerts for the public. The 'Water Garden' in the park is another quaint corner that houses various exotic species of birds and aquatic plants.
