Before heading to Son, let's get to know the place a little.

Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden (QSBG), formerly known as Mae Sa Botanic Garden, is the first botanical garden in Thailand that meets international standards. Established in 1994, the garden serves as a center for botanical research, education, and conservation. In 2004, the garden was granted permission by Her Majesty Queen Sirikit to use her name, becoming the "Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden." For more information, please visit the official website: http://www.qsbg.org.

Approximately 2 kilometers from the ticket booth, you will reach the first point, a clearing where flowers are being arranged.

There is a path leading up to a scenic viewpoint. Let's go take a look.

It's time to get to know QSBG Highlight.

The first stop is the Canopy Walkway, a 369-meter-long elevated walkway with a height of 20-25 meters. At this point, park rangers will inform visitors of the rules and safety precautions. Jumping on the glass panels is prohibited, and no more than four people should stand on them at a time. Visitors should also be careful not to drop anything, as park rangers will not retrieve items that fall below. We spent a considerable amount of time here, observing the trees, insects, and views, as well as watching other visitors.

The Canopy Walks will end at a glass platform, offering stunning views of Doi Mon Klom.

Walking back towards the exit, you will pass through the building, where you will find a souvenir shop, a cafe, and restrooms. This view of Canopy Walks was taken from the men's restroom.

This angle was taken from a souvenir shop.

Ascend to the upper level to savor a cup of coffee while engaging in a knowledge exchange with the staff about this and other gardens under the care of the Botanical Garden Organization, as well as other tourist destinations. Continue your exploration by ascending the hill for approximately 300 meters to reach another highlight: the Glasshouse Complex, a group of greenhouses built in honor of His Majesty the King.

Let's take a walk and see each greenhouse, starting with the lotus greenhouse.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

Leaving the lotus pavilion, I continued to the herbal plant house, which is currently undergoing landscaping, so I didn't take many pictures.

Next, we arrive at the orchid pavilion.

The next house will be the tribal house.

General Plant Exhibition Hall

The drought-resistant greenhouse is another popular spot.

The final and largest greenhouse we visited was the tropical rainforest exhibit.

The center of the house will have a refreshing waterfall.

There are also golden leaves or Dao leaves.

Stepping out of the greenhouse into the open air, we head towards the flower garden and its fountains. The sky is clear, and the sun shines brightly.

Time for mischief is over. It's 3 o'clock. We ended the day by standing to catch the wind at Pha Nan Thari. We didn't go to the natural museum because we were afraid we wouldn't make it in time.

Please provide a sentence or phrase that requires translation, and I will be happy to assist you.

We can now descend the mountain and wait for the bus back to the city at the park entrance. During the 2 km descent, there are many more sights to see.

Take a shortcut down the hill using the stairs that the park staff use.

The descent took 15 minutes, after which I stood waiting for a yellow car to take me into the city. While waiting, I took a few more pictures.

After waiting for 15 minutes, a car arrived. We hailed it and got in. The road was scenic, with restaurants located near the elephant camp almost all the way.

Translation:

When the car arrived at Mae Rim, the driver stopped and told us that he wasn't going into town. He was getting off to buy something in Mae Rim and asked us to get off too. Otherwise, we would have to wait for the last bus at 4 pm. He didn't charge us for the ride. We would like to thank the yellow car driver from Samoeng again. Once we arrived in Mae Rim, it was easier to get into town. There were yellow cars from Mae Rim, white cars from Mae Taeng, and buses from Tha Ton. We could choose any of them. We wanted to go to Kad Luang, so we took a yellow car from Mae Rim. The fare was 17 baht. The trip started off fun and ended with good luck. (The yellow car from Samoeng has buses into town at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm, but we arrived in between those times.)
