It probably only took half an hour to wander round the orchid farm but I did really enjoy it. The colours are spectacular. The 200 baht entry fee id a bit steep but I didn't mind so long as it goes back into producing more orchids! At least it was half an hour out of the rain!!

Being orchid enthusiasts we were a little disappointed by the fairly limited range of orchids on display. We saw a better display at the botanic gardens in Canberra, Australia. Something was being sprayed while we were there which gave off a rather unpleasant smell like bleach,my spouse said it could be fertiliser. I wondered if these chemicals were safe and... More

If you are a photographer, you'd really like this. The flowers are beautiful and this is a fairly inexpensive spot to visit. The price includes orchids to take back to the hotel, so I'd do this first thing once you get here so you can enjoy them :). They also make amazing fresh passion fruit ice cream. No guide or... More

We visited the farm earlier this week and found it a nice way to spend an hour. At 200 baht per person (about $6 AUD each), including stems of Thai orchids to take home, it was pretty good value. There's quite a few species of orchids, as you'd expect, but organised as a commercial nursery rather than a display garden.... More

The Orchid Farm is located just south of the Chalong Harbor Roundabout. I have an orchid collection and was looking for some advice on how to improve results. I had previously been to Thai orchid farms in Bangkok and Chaing Mai, which were spectacular. What a disappointment! The Phuket orchid farm is an active nursery, apparently growing orchids for sales.... More

It was very difficult to locate the farm. We took a taxi and told the driver where we want to go (also showed him the map). Obviously he had no clue or couldn´t read the map and we experienced a great tour the island :) when we finally explained where we wanna go :) The farm wasn´t very big, but... More

If you are gardens and orchids this place s well worth a visit. Nice and knowledgable staff and seemingly miles and miles of orchids. No pressure to do anything but walk and look.

Recently the entry fee was raised from 200 baht to a whopping 300 baht per person. Staff is not really interested except in making a sale. Please be aware that it is not allowed to import plants (and orchids) in your home country, even if they are in glass container.

They let us in even if they were already closed (they invited us to come the day after, but it was our last day in Phuket, that's why they let us in). Not only thay let us see the orchids, but also take photos. The woman (very kind, unfortunately I don't know her name) even gave me some information about... More
