Farm Chokchai: A Family Day at Asia’s Largest Dairy Farm

Farm Chokchai is the working dairy farm that turned Pak Chong into a family destination. Founded in 1957 on the Mittraphap Highway, it runs one of the best-organised agro tours in Thailand: a guided circuit by hay wagon through the pastures, a cowboy show, a sheepdog demonstration, a chance to milk a cow and make your own ice cream. It sits 33 km from Mövenpick Resort Khao Yai — about 35 minutes by car — which makes it the easiest half-day trip from the resort for guests travelling with children.

What to Expect on the Farm Chokchai Agro Tour in 2026

The tour is run to a schedule rather than as a free walk-around. You join a group at the visitor station by the entrance, board a tractor-drawn wagon and spend roughly two to two-and-a-half hours moving between stations: the dairy barns, the milking demonstration, the animal-feeding area, the cowboy arena and the ice-cream workshop. Guides explain each stop in Thai with English summaries. Weekday departures run at set times (10:00 and 14:00 are the standard slots), with more frequent departures at weekends and on public holidays — check the day’s schedule before you set off, and book ahead for weekends.

Beyond the Tour: Steakhouse, Umm!…Milk and Camping

You do not need a tour ticket to enjoy the rest of the site. Chokchai Steakhouse serves the farm’s own beef, the Umm!…Milk shop sells fresh milk, yoghurt and the ice cream the farm is known for, and there is a boutique camping resort on the property for guests who want to wake up to the pastures. Most families combine the morning tour with lunch at the steakhouse and are back at the resort by mid-afternoon for the pool.
