Bai Orchid & Butterfly Farm

About

Bai Orchid and Butterfly Farm is a stop on the Mae Rim road with two greenhouses of orchids and a netted butterfly enclosure you walk through. It's cheap to get in and easy to do in an hour, and it works well for kids or anyone into plants and photos. There's also a café serving a Thai lunch buffet and a gift shop selling orchid jewellery. Tour buses tend to come in the afternoon, so go early.
