Royal Park Rajapruek

A Living Centre for Learning, Research and Sustainable Development

Royal Park Rajapruek is more than a botanical garden. Operated by the Highland Research and Development Institute (Public Organization) (HRDI), it serves as a national centre for learning, horticultural excellence, environmental conservation, and public engagement.

Established following the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2006, Thailand's first International Horticultural Exposition recognised by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH), and further developed through the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2011, Royal Park Rajapruek continues the legacy of these landmark events as a centre for learning, research, conservation, and sustainable development. Today, the park brings together nature, science, education, and culture to inspire sustainable living and environmental stewardship.
