🌿🌞 Spent a day soaking up the sun in Sattahip at the stunning Nongnooch Tropical Garden — think Western-style architecture meets lush Asian gardens and mountain views you could stare at for hours! If you’re chasing one breezy escape near Pattaya, this is my go-to.

Must-See Place: Nongnooch Tropical Garden
Address: 34 1, Na Chom Thian, Sattahip District, Chon Buri 20250, Thailand
Opening Hours: 08:00-18:00 (open all year round!)

Here’s what to hit once you step inside:
- The outdoor cultural landscapes are next-level beautiful — snap pics with unique statues, sweeping water features, and crazy floral displays 🌺
- Wander through themed gardens with Western-style buildings (great photo ops), plus shady tree-covered walkways for those super sunny days
- Climb up towards the mountain viewing zones for killer panoramic shots
- Be sure to catch the garden’s cultural shows if you spot a crowd — local dance and elephant performances pop off daily!

Quick tips to make it smooth:
- Arrive early (doors open 8am) to beat the heat and catch that soft morning light for pics
- Bring a hat/sunglasses, and refill your bottle — it’s easy to get fried under the Thai sun
- The garden’s shuttle buses help you hop between zones if you’re not into long walks
- Food-wise, try the garden’s on-site café for cold drinks and simple Thai bites. You’ll need the energy to explore!

Getting There:
Hop a taxi, or use the bus from Pattaya — it’s the easiest way if you’re not driving. Cash is king, so keep THB handy for tickets and snacks.
