Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden
สวนพฤกษศาสตร์สมเด็จพระนางเจ้าสิริกิติ์
A national botanic garden in the Mae Rim valley, with a high treetop glass walkway over the rainforest canopy and multiple themed greenhouses.
Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden lies in Mae Rim district, about 25 km north of Chiang Mai. Covering more than 1,000 hectares, it is Thailand's first botanic garden built to international standards. The most popular attraction is the Canopy Walkway, a treetop path about 400 meters long, reaching a height of roughly 20 meters above the ground at its highest point. Some sections have glass floors that offer views over the rainforest. Several greenhouse complexes display tropical rainforest plants, desert plants, aquatic plants and orchids. The garden's paths are long, so if you drive you can take your car to each attraction, or ride the electric shuttle inside the park. Admission for foreigners is about 100 baht (vehicles charged separately), and it's open roughly 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. It can be combined with Mae Sa Waterfall and an elephant camp on the same day.
