Hey dear community, at the beginning I would like to welcome you to my new post and hope you have a week so far which has brought one or the other positive experience into your life! Today I would like to share again some experiences that I have made while travelling and I look forward to feedback.
Chiang Mai is full of culture and there was so much to see and one of the things I saw there was the well-known Royal Park Rajapruek which had exceeded my expectations. At first I thought it was a normal park, but it's an extremely large area that connects so many different elements with each other and I immediately noticed how much work is behind it, which is why in my eyes it's also very important to maintain this highlight. Within the park there are some botanical projects which prove how important the promotion and expansion of knowledge is for the operators and there are also numerous projects that benefit nature in connection with the park. It is also important to know that the park has a connection to the royal family of Thailand and was opened during the 80th Birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and also with the coronation, it's linked. For the royal family it was of great importance not only to build a park which should serve as a show object but to always maintain the botanical knowledge and here the protection of the environment also has a huge importance as all the projects prove.
The park is extremely large and the entire site extends over several hundred hectares and right after I bought my ticket I was immediately referred to a shuttle bus which regularly runs through the park but I only drove one stop and walked the rest which took more time, but I could see everything even better. Inside the park there is pretty much everything to see and in addition to the national flora there are numerous species from other countries also to be found and there are also some theme gardens which are supposed to present different countries and here was extremely authentic worked and so in the Dutch part for example, a windmill or in Japanese a replica of Mount Fuji can be seen. In total there should be 20 countries which are shown here and in addition there are also botanical gardens, small museums and other theme buildings on the site and I was so surprised to be able to see something new on every corner and especially for me as a lover of photography there were so many opportunities to take pictures. It's an absolute must to put this park on the list and for every visitor of the city who wants to experience natural moments an absolute must and especially this enormous diversity that can be found here makes everything even more interesting!
Many thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new and like my post and appreciate my effort! I captured these pictures with my Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm and iPhone 16.
