If you are looking for some nice cheap eats, coffee and farm animals you should stop past Pin Fah Farm ปิ่นฟ้าฟาร์ม. If you live in Thailand they have a large garden section too you can buy a range of plants and gardening supplies. We purchased half a dozen small cactuses to decorate our bathroom.

Great place for children

If you have children with you there is a range of activities that will keep them entertained at Pin Fah Farm. They seem to have a small water park for smaller children. It was empty at the time we visited maybe because of coveit19 situation.

They have a petting zoo at Pin Far Farm ปิ่นฟ้าฟาร์ม

There is also a small petting zoo. You can either enter the safe way through the gate or across the bamboo bridge. I was a bit sceptical of crossing the 2 pieces of bamboo tech screwed together. I thought I may end up in the pond but rest assured it held my 80+kg weight and the handrail piece that had broken off didn’t stop me. Inside the petting zoo were rabbits and chickens. To the side, there is a sectioned off part of the pond with ducks and geese.

Feed the farm animals at Pin Fah

There is a range of feeding activities for the kids for around 10/20 baht (50c/$1). You are able to bottle feed Koi fish in a pond, hand-feed the pony, goats, peacocks, chickens and the ducks. If you turn left down past the koi fish feeding there is a cage of a pair of white doves. I walked down further but it seemed still under construction

Paddleboats for hire at Pin Fah Farm

If the animals are not enough to keep you entertained you can rent a paddleboat for 2 and paddle around the lake in the middle of the venue. I remember seeing a sign saying 50 baht for the boat hire but I am unsure of the conditions. I was glad to see they had a range of life jackets available as well.

The food is well priced at Pin Far Farm ปิ่นฟ้าฟาร์ม

The food was extremely cheap for a venue like this and the locals knew it. There where a lot of tables and not many of them where empty. To order food you have to write it on a piece of paper what you want and take it to the cashier pay and all the food arrived extremely fast.

They have cheese!

I was craving some cheese and indulged in their cheese balls and cheese fries with cheese sauce. So healthy I know. Then washed it down with a bowl of their famous boat noodles (black soup) and we all snacked on a plate of Satay. They have some simple food for kids as well like nuggets, chips & wings.

Seating arrangement

Pin Far Farms has tables, hammocks and sala’s (gazebos) located all around the lake. Some of the sala’s are over the lake so make sure you secure your valuables if you choose to sit at one of these. We almost lost a phone to the fishies.

How to order at Pin Fah Farm

If you are not with someone who can write or read Thai you can translate the menu if you have an internet connection with Google Translate App. Just select the camera icon and hold it still over the menu and it will translate on the fly. There were ample waiters if you pointed to what you wanted I’m sure they would fill out your paper for you.

Coffee Shops that will make you go WOW!

Baanna kafe บ้านนากาแฟ coffee shop is not called banana cafe as your eyes may trick you to reading. We stopped past last year but realised we only explored half of there venue. Once you walk past the lake through the pine trees down the back there is a big hill that has some magnificent view overlooking the mountain and rice field.

If you turn the other way on top of the hill you can overlook which looks like accommodation of caravans all parked in a row with a little wooden bridge going to a small island. It looks like there used to be an island of sunflowers although they are all pretty sad looking now.

Overlooking the lake there is a platoon with a table and chairs if you wish to have the floating feeling whilst slurping your beverage. In the lake is a still floating duck paddle boat which has started to fill with water.

You may purchase some fish food for just 10 baht (50 cents) and feed the hungry koi fish in the lake. There is no shortage of fish as you can see below.

Baanna kafe บ้านนากาแฟ have a small selection of food and cakes to enjoy. Luna sampled the soup which was simple but tasty. As well as cake!

Baanna cafe have a Great Dane dog strolling around freely who is very friendly although he may check you out for a snack if you have food in your bag. He loves a good old scratch on the back and he loves to take selfies with you.

Inside the coffee shop you can rent a picnic basket that has a blanket, empty wine bottle and some fake fruit if you wish to have a photo shoot anywhere on the venue. The cost is just 20 baht for as long as you are there.

Getting to Baanna Kafe

As a tourist, I never realised how many amazing coffee shops there are scattered around Thailand. Now that I am living half the year here I find my family members on their days of love to go to visit the jaw-dropping ones. We are obsessed with driving all over Thailand & our friends can never keep up what province we are in.

This page will be an index of all of the posts. I will update this post after going to a new one so be sure to check back.

Ma Ha Cafe Boon – มา-หา กาแฟบุญ วัดหุบกระทิง

Ma Ha Cafe Boon is a great project that was started by the local temple. The head monk had a vision of empty land to be transformed into a paradise that benefits their community as well as teaches farming techniques and the way of Buddhism. That’s right all the profit goes back into increasing this project and supporting the locals.

If you wish to visit the Sapan Khong Floating Market it is only open on weekends from 9 am to 6 pm

Cafe Chedi is not a large venue with sitting no more than 20 outside and a few small tables inside. Although I highly recommend stopping in if you are passing through Song Phi Nong province. Their coffee and cold beverages where all received high praise from our group of 5.

If your feeling adventurous, Cafe Chedi คาเฟ่-เจดีย์ have hammock style nets to chill in overhanging the river. Just make sure you have nothing loose in your pockets or it may become fish food.

You are able to purchase a generous bag of fish food to feed the massive fish in the river for just 10 baht (50c)

I never thought I would walk such a dangerous yet beautiful path for a coffee. The lush never-ending lily field with a raft of ducks running through the shallow muddy waters as we ventured closer to our destination. A tall tower in the far distance overlooking the plantation I am sure to conquer after replenishing my thirst of a much-needed coffee after my hour drive through the chaotic narrow soi’s of the rural roads. เวียน เดอ บัว คาเฟ่

A brief thought as crossing the rickety bamboo pathway “Is this going to hold my weight” as a bamboo panel becomes dislodged as we cross.

We arrived at the cute little coffee shop where there where a paddle of ducks leaving just as we arrived. Upon entering to the swift sounds of jazz music and a swing to take the perfect photo.เวียน เดอ บัว คาเฟ่

Climbing the tower of terror with the mother in law had a design that completely freaking us both out. The steps are spaced further apart than comfortably normal with nothing to break your fall other than the grass on your ass below. The slight sway as if we where a leaf falling from a tree in the storm that approached us. The view is worth the risk I must say

As we walked back from the tower of terror we took a safe path along the dry land. The path of a hobby farm where we witnessed the farmer watering his crops with a hose way past its expiry date to find a bucket catching the leak only to overflow into the lake below.

As we returned to the car the storm had set in and we said goodbye to the smiling cows and farm animals that never moved.

Whist the name House 1,000 wood Cafe & Farm – บ้าน ๑,๐๐๐ ไม้ might not translate to what it means it Thai is not any reason to avoid stopping by. Another great coffee shop in Thailand that is in an extremely cute location with a resident macaw nestled alongside Bang Toei river.

If you are visiting on a weekend, do note it is a very popular place and maybe busier than stopping on a weekday.

Old Fashioned Photo Opportunities

There is a lot of fantastic farming style photo opportunities such as at an old fashioned water pump or on a tractor. I didn’t manage to get any photos as it was quite busy on the day we visited. We hope to stop past again soon. Although next time will be a weekday to chill and relax on a hammock overlooking the river.

For the kids

If you have children there is a range of activities around the theme of farming that they can engage in. Like getting water from the well or digging in the sandpit.

Cute little tree house to drink your coffee and there is also a platform and walkway quite high to get the perfect selfie. Let your legs dangle free along with all your worries.

The resident parrot Ga-Fair

They have a resident parrot who is very friendly and will eat fruit out of your hand if he chooses to. His name is ga-fair which translates to coffee in Thai. How many coffee shops in Thailand can say they have a resident parrot.

บ้าน ๑,๐๐๐ ไม้ have a range of western dishes as well as Thai food. Most dishes were priced at 95 baht. There is only a menu in Thai. To order you have to take a piece of paper from near the counter and fill it in and give to the cashier along with payment.

If you are not with a person who can read Thai you can use google translate app if you have an internet connection to translate on the fly.
To do this
Open google translate
Click the camera icon,
try to hold steady the paper and it will translate for you..

I love anything theme park related and super excited to visit Fantasea in Phuket. I’m sure I was a circus carney in my last life. I have always skipped off the buffet they offer as a package for Fantasea as I heard it was hit or miss. But don’t let this stop you from coming early before the show! There is a sideshow alley and castle to take your perfect selfies at. They also have a koi pond that you can feed and buy food or bottles to feed them.

As for the show I have been a few times now and probably will go a few more before I have seen it enough. Although I don’t go to Phuket all that often. It is a wonderful performance with acrobatics from the ceiling to ducks swimming across the stage. You really should not miss this one.

After the show, you can have photos with the elephants in costumes if that’s your thing or with the cast. There may be an expense whether a tip or a professional photo taken. This seems to be common practice in Phuket.

We are often unsure of going to shows because of the mistreatment of animals. I’m happy to say the animals all looked healthy, well cared for and happy on all my visits.

Ticket & Prices

Check the prices for tickets to Fantasea Phuket as well as the options for buffet dinner &/or transfers.
Through official partners, Voyagin or Klook

I recommend you check both sellers as they sometimes offer discounts!
For Voyagin look for the blue + sign under “see options” on the right-hand side sometimes they have coupons!
