Tropical Spice Garden

If lush jungles, spicy aromas, and barefoot wanderings are your vibe, add Tropical Spice Garden to your list. Nestled in a rainforest with views of the Andaman Sea, this is where nature, culture, and flavor collide in the best way possible.

Wander through 500+ species of tropical flora, from cinnamon vines to spice trees older than your grandma’s recipes. It’s not just a garden, it’s a living pantry of Southeast Asia’s culinary soul.

Join a forest bathing session, think guided breathwork, barefoot walks, and tea by the water. This is nature’s version of hitting pause. And if you’re craving local connection, Tropical Spice Garden is buzzing with community events, from gardening days to wellness workshops and cultural classes. It’s one of those rare places where travellers and locals cross paths, swap stories, and share a deeper love for nature.

This garden isn’t just a pretty spot. It’s an invitation to slow down, get your hands and feet dirty, and reconnect with where flavor actually begins.

In this week’s What’s Hot & What’s Not by real travellers like yourself, say Hi to Audrey!

Audrey is a designer turned sustainability consultant who runs Thought Partner Eco — an SME's partner in sustainability. She focuses on education, strategy and communications. She does that by speaking on panels, facilitating workshops, developing sustainability action plans, and guiding businesses to communicate without greenwashing.

An avid solo traveller, you'll find her anywhere between Europe and Southeast Asia, working remotely across time zones. Most of the time, she's in one of her two homes — Singapore or London.

🔥 What’s Hot

solo travel. time off devices. spending at least 5 days in a place you've never been to. have enough time to be bored, because that's when you start seeing a place for what it can offer beyond the recommended list.

❄️ What’s Not

malls, we don't need any more of them. city-hopping and the "must" list, what's a must-see/ must-do / must-visit / must-eat for you might not be for me 🤷🏻‍♀️
