Kaempferia chonburiensis (Chonburi Ginger)

Where to Find: Forest paths near Khao Chi Chan, Nong Nooch Tropical Garden
A rare wild ginger discovered right here in Chonburi. Its lilac-purple flowers appear after the rain — tiny bursts of color close to the forest floor.

Wrightia religiosa (Water Jasmine)

Where to Find: Naklua, Sattahip temple gardens, and quiet canals
Soft white petals, a calming fragrance, and gentle branches that sway in the breeze — the Water Jasmine is often planted for meditation and serenity.

Globba winitii (Dancing Ladies Ginger)

Where to Find: Shaded forest trails of Banglamung and Khao Mai Kaew
Look for its elegant purple and yellow “dancers” beneath the trees. Locals say these blooms resemble graceful Thai dancers — a hidden show in nature.

Explore. Learn. Protect.

Every plant tells a story — of resilience, balance, and beauty. Let’s protect the local flora that make Pattaya’s landscape more than a destination — it’s a living garden by the Gulf of Thailand.
