Garden is elaborately built by the Royal Bhutan Government (represented
by Ministry of Agriculture of Bhutan) with a budget of almost 10 million
baht (263,000 USD) as a permanent gift in celebration of His Majesty King
Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. It stands on a 500-square-meter area in
'International Outdoor Garden" zone of the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2006.
Its notable stone wall and garden design have received a great deal of
attention from the public for its distinctive architectural design, including
a pray-bell, a unique Bhutanese feature that Bhutan revealed was built
especially for His Majesty the King. |
