THAILAND - NONG NOOCH TROPICAL BOTANICAL GARDEN

The lawn looked as if it was overrun by a flock of geese but the truth was, they were all fake sculptures made from concrete. How interesting!

Then from the newly constructed skybridge, I had a good view of the silver garden. The range of plants include the silver Copernicia baileyana, Bismarckia nobilis, variegated Alstonia scholaris, Conocarpus erectus var. sericeus and white flower Plumeria pudica etc. It was just amazing and provided a stark contrast with the colourful range of plants in the formal garden that I mentioned in my previous post.

The sky was also slightly hazy and this somehow seemed to raise the heat a few notches higher. But otherwise, it was a really enjoyable view of the place.
