Chom Dong Villa and Garden

 
 

The concept of incorporating a walled garden at Chom Dong has always been a dream of the owners.  Finally, in December 2011, work on the secret garden was begun and completed about 3 months later.  Especially on the upper slopes, many of the original vegetation, a large part of which are bamboos, have been retained, and the garden has continued to mature over time.


Pale mauve bougainvilleas have been used to cascade over the tiered levels and climbing roses and Mandevilla are being trained over the two arched doorways.
