Everything on this page comes from Google and the venue itself, which is exactly what every other listing site has. There is no verdict from me because I have not been through the door — and I would rather say so than write something that sounds like I have. It goes on the list.

Rayong Botanical Garden is a day-trip destination in Chakphong, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.7★ on Google. Open daily, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM.

A wetland botanical garden in Rayong, east along the coast from Pattaya, built around black-water channels thick with pink and purple lotus, mangroves and pale paper-bark trees. There are three ways round the water — kayak, motorboat or bicycle, all for hire — though walking the trails and the Rak Samet Bridge costs nothing. Small stalls along the paths sell drinks, snacks and noodles, and visitors describe the grounds as well maintained and quiet enough to lose half a day in.
