About 2km past the Maesa Elephant Camp is the Queen Sirikit Botanic Gardens, where 227 hectares have been set aside for plantations, nature trails and vast greenhouses full of exotic and local flora. Near the administration building is the orchid collection, containing over 400 species, the country's largest public display. The highlight of the garden is the glasshouse complex sitting near the mountain peak.
The Rainforest House recreates a southern Thai forest with ferns, palms, ginger and other tropical species.
