Nature
With 70 acres of manicured gardens, river, lake, elephant enclosures and farm spaces, The Rose Garden Riverside is a celebration of Thailand’s natural bounties. Set anywhere in Thailand, The Rose Garden Riverside would be something special. But to find a property such as this, just a 1-hour drive from Bangkok, is something of a revelation.
It’s what makes The Rose Garden the perfect escape from Bangkok.
The property’s garden setting is an eclectic mix of influences, almost Hampton Court meets Thai emporium. Along the way, The Rose Garden has become an important asset to Thailand’s botanical followers, preserving many species now rare or unfashionable in the Kingdom. And where else but The Rose Garden could you find century-old Bullet trees, 80-year-old coconut palms - or 30 species of banana? And for a bit of playfulness, take a look at the “animal lawn”.
The luxury of space allows the property to grow its own herbs - used in its restaurants and spa. Coconut milk, an essential ingredient in Thai cooking, is made the traditional way every day, while chilli pastes are ground fresh.
Nature is also intrinsic to The Rose Garden’s educational mission - children get the chance to experience rice farming, make fresh herbal drinks and juices and, of course, eat all the fresh fruit they can manage. As the sun goes down, the gardens serve as the perfect backdrop to themed parties, with a natural stage and fireworks - a perfect way to end the day in Thailand the way it used to be.
