Suan Nai Dum is a garden and outdoor exhibition space located in the Thung Tako District of Chumphon, Thailand. The park is most notable for its extensive collection of creative, artistic toilets and whimsical restroom architecture. It functions as both a landscaped botanical park and a gallery of functional, quirky installations. Visitors can explore various themed garden sections interspersed with statues and creative seating areas. The park emphasizes unique landscaping techniques that integrate sculptures into the natural environment. It serves as an educational and recreational site focused on creative expression rather than conventional amusement rides.
Beside the uniquely themed, artistic toilet structures which serve as the park's primary, iconic backdrop.
Bring insect repellent as the park is a lush, semi-tropical garden environment.
Wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for gravel and grass paths.
Carry a refillable water bottle, as the park features several walking trails under the Thai sun.
Do not attempt to walk through the agricultural experimental zones without checking if they are open to the public, as some areas are for research only.
Maintain a respectful tone; despite the whimsical nature of the art, it remains a public garden that expects standard decorum.
