Nongnooch Garden Resort

I was there for a conference, and the conference facilities are fine. I was in one of the Lakeside Villas, which was OK, if a little spartan. The beds were firm, but I didn't mind that. There were no bedside lamps, nor was there any tea available, or milk. (There were some sachets of coffee and powdered creamer instead.) The reception staff didn't speak much English, but Google Translate and pictures on my phone worked for basic communication. My main gripe was the lack of vegetarian options at breakfast or lunch - everything seemed to have chicken, pork, fish, or prawns in it. One time I was down to boiled rice and steamed cabbage - and the cabbage had been cooked in fish sauce! This was very disappointing. Also, there's no easily available shop if you want to stock up. There is a 7-eleven, about 20 minutes walk in the heat, but mainly full of ultra-processed things. And no Indian/Ceylon tea!

Visited for the best part of a day. Something for the whole family to enjoy, whether the gardens for Mum and Dad, the dinosaurs that are everywhere (including sound for some of them), the cars for Dad in the museum, or the plentiful restaurants for the whole family. Definitely worth a trip!

Nong Nooch is huge. The gigantic scale of the property hits you as you enter the place. With plenty of options for views & clicks, the resort is a great place for events. We were here for a large gathering of folks for a function, followed by dinner.
