History :- Pisit and Nongnooch Tansacha purchased the 600-acre (2.4 km2) plot of land in 1954 with the intention of developing the land as a fruit plantation. However, the owners instead decided to plant tropical flowers and plants as a wildlife conservation project. The garden opened to the public in 1980, and management was transferred to Pisit and Nongnooch's son Kampon Tansacha in 2001. The garden currently fills 500 out of the 600 acres (2.4 km2).This place itslef have its own unique way to describe love towards nature. Yes!!! when you enter the village you will see big name spotlighted with I love Nongnooch and atraight ahed there is car show room where you can see different type of cars which run on each terrain of land WOW !!! that was so amazing to see.
There are many elephants all over the village, but only thing which make me feel sad was treatment towards animals. Yes!!! they were like only for the name of money, i really felt sad when i just entered towards Elephant show one of them was holding its tear as if he was doing forcefully doing all activities, continuously being pinched up was unbearable for me to see. So i like the way put their efforts but deeply feeling sorry for them because i couldn't do anything form my end.
Nong Nooch Villageis having diversity in its own way , laminated with beautiful pictures all around the way and recommended to go.
