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!

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.

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..

There is not much more to say than wow when you arrive at Na Krung Kao นากรุงเก่า. Which in english translates to “Old City.” Its located 11 minute drive before you arrive in Ayutthaya if you are coming from Bangkok. So far Na Krung Kao นากรุงเก่า is the largest venue we have visited. The rice field style coffee shops are gaining popularity rapidly in the last few years in Thailand, I’m always excited when I hear about a new one. There is so many picture perfect photo opportunity every few meters you wont be disappointed with your choice of stopping by.

If you walk down the bamboo road and cross the bridge, You can see the tower in the top left of the 3rd picture below of the huts

Tower View

There is a tower you can climb you can climb to a perfect veiw point from the rear of the property. I would wait for not to many people on it at one time as it does tend to sway a little when people travel up the stairs.

There is 2 or 3 restaurants as you walk into the complex I cannot comment on the food as we didn’t eat on this occasion.

Getting here

Check out our other coffee shops reviews!

My brother in law had this trip on his bucket list for quite some time. A night floating on the river drinking beer and fishing. We booked 2 rooms one for our family and one for a bunch of our friends. The sleeping arrangements were local style a bunch of mattresses on the floor next to each other and sleep in groups of partners/family. Seems strange to a westerner but a common practice here.

Local Thai Style Holiday

What an experience it was. A true local style Thailand holiday. We set up the Thai clay pot BBQ which we grilled prawns and fish we bought from the ตลาดไทย​ Talad Thai Fishmarket​ and cracked some long necks of Chang Beer. Got the fishing lines setup for an all-nighter of fishing, beer & Sangsom (Thai rum that tastes more like whiskey)

Contact Details

Now you might need some help from a Thai speaking person if you wish to book this one as it’s all bookings via phone and they tend to book out so some pre-planning is needed. You will also need to bring your own fishing gear, bait and all supplies with you as there was not anything close by if you run out.

Noodle Man

One of my highlights was the following morning a man in a boat comes along to every room that hailed him down and made Tom Yum noodles out of his modified Tom Yum Noodle Boat. He claims he has been working along this stretch of river for 10 years! He can sell up to 5kg of noodles a day. Not bad for 50 baht! (A$2)
