Baan Talaad Khee Lek School in Doi Saket district of Chiang Mai province also won the contest in 1997.
Located amidst the idyllic environs of the Huai Hong Khrai Royal Development Study Centre, the school has emerged as a centre of excellence in nature training for young minds. Every year, students from schools across Thailand go to see the more than 300 species of medicinal plants, shrubs and trees in the botanical garden. The school has also set an example of blending nature and classroom instruction, making the study of biology, mathematics, English and social sciences, easier and more interesting.
