In addition, numerous multi-talented artists perform an enthralling one hour show. 

Perhaps this attraction’s highlight is the popular elephant show. Visitors will see these intelligent mighty animals, which are Siam’s symbols, perform various skills such as playing soccer, riding bicycles and they will even invite spectators to a tug of war.

Tourists can quietly stroll across the well-maintained, wonderfully landscaped gardens while absorbing the vivid colours and fragrances of millions of exotic flowers. The well-trained elephants and chimpanzees living in the natural surroundings can be observed as well.

The gardens offer plenty of things to see keeping visitors busy the entire day. Should you get hungry there’s a good selection of eateries to choose from, serving European, Thai, Chinese, fresh seafood and traditional Korean cuisine.
