The Royal Flora first opened in 2006 to celebrate the King's 60th year of reign here in Thailand. It has been open since that time but it is a big deal this year because the King turned 84 in December. I went with a few friends to visit it over our Christmas break. Enjoy the photos that are out of order (just warning you!)!

| It is close enough to bike too...so Annalisa and I took our bikes and we parked with the "bikes." Yes, we are tough biker chicks! |
 |
| I borrowed Annalisa's umbrella to have fun with the Thai ones! |
 |
| Elephants made out of plants... |
 |
| Took this picture for my dad- we are true Danes! I also had frozen yogurt at the same place. |
 |
| Orchid gardens |
 |
| yes the three orchid animals |
 |
| A prize for the 1st person to comment and tell me why I took this picture and mail from Thailand for everyone who guesses as well! |
 |
| The cows reminded me of the Snoopys in St. Paul -at the Netherlands garden |
 |
| As Annalisa would say "No wonder we have trouble buying shoes here!" -at the Netherlands garden |
 |
| The sign by the exit...always reminds me of Toy Story |
 |
| The entrance by the sun and water guys...we even wore the right colors! |
 |
| There were many gardens from different countries...so the Canadian had to have a photo by the Canada sign- in her Canada shirt! |
 |
| Not sure what this was....but it was interesting... |
 |
| The interesting tunnel with gourds hanging down from the vines! |

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the tunnel...I want to go there. I saw a lot of beautiful gardens in Bangkok, but this looks like it beats all!
ReplyDeletethanks for posting twice mom...good thing I already have an amazing few gifts for you!!!
ReplyDeleteYou like purple and yellow together for some very strange reason I cannot understand, except for the fact that you grew up in MN and were brain washed into thinking the Vikings are cool.
ReplyDeletehmmm Heather...I think you don't get mail just for saying that...I like the Vikings and was not brain washed....
ReplyDeletei knew it was the vikings but i just read your post today!!! :) those flowers were beautiful...question: are you going to have purple and yellow be your colors for your wedding? because then you should definitely get beautiful bouquets for your bridesmaids that look like those flowers! :)
