The Royal Villa overlooks 25 rai (equivalent to four hectares) of botanical gardens known collectively as The Mae Fah Luang Garden.
Situated at an elevation of 950 metres above sea-level, the Mae Fah Luang Garden consists of flowerbeds planted with a dazzling variety of flowers and shrubs from all corners of the world; among these, over 70 species of cool climate and temperate ornamental and flowering plants that thrive at high altitude are planted in the midst of native plants, leafy shrubs and perennials. A myriad of flowering plants come into bloom all year round and form a splendid hill-side tapestry that changes with the seasons.
Frequently described as the most magnificent landscaped garden in the Kingdom of Thailand, and even perhaps, in the Asia Pacific region, in 1993, The Mae Fah Luang Garden was awarded the Pacific Asia Tourism Association’s PATA Gold Awards in the ‘Tourism Development’ category in recognition of its outstanding achievement in the development of a new tourist destination.
A bronze statue entitled “Continuity” is the centrepiece of the landscaped gardens. It depicts a group of children supporting each other in a human pyramid formation as one of them climbs towards the sky.
The monument pays tribute to the tireless efforts of HRH the Princess Mother to improve the lives of the people of Thailand and her belief that continuous effort leads to success.
The Mae Fah Luang Garden is open daily from 07.00 - 17.00.
