1. Blooms Orchid Park

This orchid park, owned and operated by a Thai exporter, reflects the meticulous attention to detail evident throughout the property. Your visit will not only introduce you to a stunning array of orchids but also offer a variety of other experiences.


This area is divided into 3 zones.

The first zone is a "natural forest garden" designed in a landscape style, with various orchid species attached to large trees.


Stepping inside feels like entering a lush forest, with the shade of towering trees and the vibrant colors of orchids scattered throughout. The orchids here bloom in rotation throughout the year, ensuring a captivating floral display no matter the season.

This corner is a humid room with ferns and mosses.


Enhance the ambiance with a cascading waterfall and a sprawling lotus pond.

And

One of the most impressive features of the first zone is the abundance of wooden bridges.

This concludes Zone 1 with a stylish exit.^^


The layout here is quite good. Once we exit the first zone, we can walk directly to the second zone.

This zone will be a "orchid greenhouse" that collects various orchid species for sale.

With picturesque corners for capturing stunning photographs.

The final zone, "The Barn," blends elements of a sheepfold, a fishpond, a rice paddy, a herd of Thai water buffalo, and a fishpond.

And a playground. This zone is likely to be a favorite of the little ones.

The sheep here are very tame and can be brought out to be fed outside like this. Most importantly, they are very clean and have no odor.

Across from the sheep pen is a playground for children, a koi pond, and a herd of Thai buffalo.

2: Suntree Land, the Land of Dolls

This space was created by an owner with over 30 years of experience in doll making and a deep love for dolls. They have dedicated a portion of their factory to create a tourist attraction, providing an opportunity for fellow doll enthusiasts to visit and share their passion.


Upon entering, visitors can rent "mascot costumes" to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere.


Upon entering the door, we are greeted by a table and dice for us to roll. We then follow the path, which evokes a sense of playing a game like Monopoly.



At the end of the walkway, the first thing that caught our eye was the **"ancestral bear"**, which was incredibly large. Just look at the size comparison! ^^


Stepping into the dome, you'll be greeted by cool air conditioning and a diverse array of dolls organized into distinct zones. These zones include a "mixed zone" (featuring a variety of styles that defy specific categorization), a "Chinatown zone," a "Japan zone," an "Egypt zone," a "cowboy zone," an "Eskimo zone," a "Tarzan zone," and a "Thailand zone."



And have fun with the maze to find your way out.


At the exit, there is a room where you can make your own D.I.Y. dolls, unique in the world. Cool, huh? ^^


Before leaving, you can buy dolls as "souvenirs" at the shop in front of the ticket booth.


Visiting here is guaranteed to leave you with a smile like this.

4: Malai Farm

A newly opened farm in late 2014, where the founders aimed to expand their business into an open farm.

Visitors can observe, feed, and interact with a diverse range of animals at the farm, which houses over 13 species.

**"A haven for animal lovers"**

The front zone features an open-range system, allowing animals to live in close proximity to nature.

Tourists can interact with, feed, and take photos of the animals up close.

The parrot is very tame and friendly.

The central zone houses the farm members. Please follow the signs.

Ostrich

Eld's Deer

Wallaby, or Dwarf Kangaroo

Alpaca

The highlight of this zone is the "crocodile feeding" experience, where visitors can witness the feeding of these fascinating reptiles.

This resembles fishing, where officials tie chicken carcasses to ropes and allow visitors to lower them into the pool for the crocodiles.

While crocodile diving might be too challenging for young children, we have another exciting activity to recommend: drumroll please...

"Feeding koi fish" may not be as thrilling, but it still elicits small screams of excitement. ^^

The final zone, located in the innermost area, is an open zone. It is fenced on the sides to accommodate large animals such as goats, sheep, and camels. Smaller animals are allowed to roam freely.

The beloved miniature horse of the children.

In addition to the opportunity to observe and interact with animals up close, this location also offers a unique selection of processed and healthy meat products, including low-fat options such as crocodile, ostrich, and deer meat. Fans of the "Malai" brand will likely recognize these products.

Coffee Shop 2: Baanna Kafe (House in the Rice Field Cafe)

**A coffee shop near the rice field, but the atmosphere is extraordinary...indeed.**




Upon entering the doorway, we are met with a palpable energy. It is... wow, to say the least.




The decor here emphasizes white, contrasting with the vibrant green of the grass, leaves, and flowers, creating a very romantic atmosphere.




The beauty extends from the entrance of the garden, even the view from the window is stunning.




This shop primarily focuses on beverages and bakery items. (We will not comment on coffee, as we do not drink it.)

The smoothie and cake were delicious.
