Dokmai Garden is a private Chiang Mai botanical garden, providing a gateway to the understanding of the nature and culture of northern Thailand. Our Swedish botanist Dr Eric Danell and the Thai family Seehamongkol live in this private 4 hectare (10 acres) botanical garden. After the introduction you get from us we believe you will be better prepared to understand other Thai gardens, local food markets and nearby national parks where thorough information and English and scientific names may be scarce. Multilingual information signs are placed at points of interest around the garden.

"Dokmai" means flower, and we have over 1000 species, but we focus on all living beings, including birds, fish, butterflies and mushrooms. You are very welcome to enjoy our Thai botanical garden!

Warning! Some taxi drivers take tourists to the Flora Show instead, claiming it is Dokmai Garden. If they are terribly inexperienced, make sure they phone us for driving instructions in Thai: 08-13866244.

"Dokmai Dogma" is our BLOG on monsoon gardening, farming and biodiversity: over 600 articles!

We try to personally greet all visitors to our garden and encourage everyone to leave a greeting in our guest book. We therefore know that visitors from at least 64 countries and territories have seen our garden. USA, Britan, Australia, the Netherlands and Thailand dominate, but we have had visitors even from Angola, Bhutan, East Timor, French Guiana, Guam and Malta.
