Cheewa Panavet consists of the Eco Forest, Toyota Biotope and the Royal Commemoration Exhibition Building. The Eco Forest was started in 2008 and is 48,000 square meters of forested area within the plant, containing 43 species of plants that have a tree survival rate of 90-percent. Toyota Biotope is the very first of its kind in Thailand, an ecosystem of living organisms home to plants, animals, and other living things. It was designed with the concept of ‘from sky to mountain to river’, and gets inspiration from different forest communities around the world. There are over 218 species of living organisms living on 48,000 square meters of land.
