History
In 1954, Pisit and Nongnooch Tansacha purchased 1,500 rai of land on the garden's modern location. The couple had originally planned to use the land as a fruit location for several foreign and native fruits, including coconuts, mangoes, and oranges. However, Nongnooch decided to turn the land into a tropical garden after being inspired by a trip abroad.

The garden opened to the public in 1980, and in 1983 the garden's management was handed to Nongnooch's son, Kampon.

From 1996 to 1997, Kampon expanded the garden's lakes and the soil dug up was placed in a valley which was initially used as a sunflower field. Eventually, Kampon decided to turn the area in the French Gardens based on the Gardens of Versailles, which opened in 1998.

In 2016, the park began construction on Dinosaur Valley, which opened in 2017.

On 17 May 2018, the ambassador of Bhutan to Thailand, Che Wang Choel Dorje, gifted the garden nine prayer flags of Bhutan in a Montra flag ceremony.
