Welcome to Orchid Garden Khaolak

Orchid Garden Khaolak is a combination of an orchid farm and an exhibition, that shows all stages of nursing orchids, from the minuscule orchid seeds to the flowering orchid plant. The exhibition with coloured photographs and explanations in different languages helps the visitors to understand the complicated life cycle of the orchid family.

Discover the mystery of the orchids, the biggest family in the vegetable kingdom and learn why you cannot buy orchid seeds to grow them. Besides some orchid hybrids with their large and long-lasting flowers, Orchid Garden Khaolak concentrates on the native orchids of Thailand and their reproduction. Only a very limited number of orchid plants, that were grown from seeds are available for sale.

Visit Orchid Garden Khaolak to see the colourful flowers of various orchid hybrids, that have been cross-breeded for easier cultivation or admire the small flowers of the native orchids that are found on trees in the upper canopy of the rain forest, where the humidity is high all year round.

Orchid Garden Khaolak is located in the hinterland of Bangniang Beach on the way to Chongfah Waterfall and just 300 metres from the main road, besides Khaolak Minigolf.
