The King's park was developed by His Majesty King Phummipol as a project to help farmers diversify from the traditional rice growing. You will see how fish farming was introduced to wet land and fruit and herb cultivation taught for dry areas. Experiments are also being carried out for breeding giant frogs to provide delicious fresh meat.
The gardens and lakes all have a natural beauty and for the energetic there is an interesting 1 hour walk thro the Wild Peacock Forest. Whilst seldom seen, the birds raucous calls evidence their abundant presence.
