The Silk Research Station is not a place were you can buy silk! Rather, this is a government scientific institution which carries out research on both the silk worms themselves and the mulberry leaves they feed upon, to produce finer silks and hardier strains in support of the silk industry.

The park is blessed with simply delightful gardens and it too surrounds a man made lake which is used as its reservoir for irrigating the land during the dry season. |

The previous director of the Station, Por Or Som Mai, who sadly passed away in April 2003, was a very talented horticulturist who developed and cross-bred many of the plants in the gardens himself.
This is why gardens are so spectacularly beautiful, with little tiled shelters from the sun, small lily ponds and a wide range of flowering shrubs, bushes and trees. Virtually unknown by foreigners, the station staff are delighted to receive visitors.
