Rest in Phuket is not for nothing called paradise: except for beckoning the tender sea on the island at every step blossom and fragrant exotic plants. Especially in the Thai resort there are a lot of orchids. If the royal flowers are on your favorite list, be sure to plan an excursion to the Phuket Orchid Garden. When still have the opportunity to see in one place as many as 1500 (!) Species of orchids the most beautiful and sometimes unimaginable colors?

At the entrance to the Phuket Orchids Garden, visitors are traditionally greeted by the owner of the greenhouse. To each tourist, a woman must give a freshly cut flower and escort her to blooming "exhibits". Excursions to the Phuket Orchid Garden are held in English, German and Russian. If the story of the origin and secrets of growing flowers is less interesting than the orchids themselves, you can safely abandon it. But still, the entrance fee will be the same amount - 200 baht per person (October 2013).

After the tour of the Phuket Orchid Garden you can buy seedlings and cut flowers. The first are sold in special sterile flasks, where biogel is used instead of the ground (according to Thai laws, it is forbidden to export soil from the country). Cut orchids are also well packed and ready for any international air transportation.

In addition, unusual souvenirs are sold here: amazing ornaments made from real orchid flowers with 24-carat gold plating applied on them. Phuket Orchid Garden works every day from 9.00 to 17.30. Since it is easy to get there by yourself, do not waste it by booking an excursion to the local tourist office.

Address: Phuket 67/1 Soi Suksan 1, Viset Road Chalong, Muang.
