M & M herbsmen in Pakkret

This looks like it MIGHT be a place to get away from the city center for a few hours on a riverboat.

Just hope it isn't quite as big, brassy and chocolate boxy as that Nong Nooch Gardens place near Pattaya, which some how manages to combine Tiger Petting, with Industrial Palm Tree production.

I suppose I shouldn't be quite so curmudgeonly about Nongnooch. I just think that such gardens are a bit like the circuses of botany.
Here's a link. It's the sort of place that a lot of Pattaya tourists would love. I suspect it's quite a poular conference venue:-

Check out the 360 Degree views to get a very good idea what the place is like.

Railfans might be interested to know that it has it's own railway halt with one train a day in both directions; although by my estimation the station has absolutely no shade and is actually quite a long walk from the center of the garden. Take a hat if you arrive this way!
