Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Half the charm of this place lies in its seclusion. It's a replica European farm south of Pattaya in Sattahip, complete with sheep, donkeys, and horses, painted houses, and so many props and scenery that you could fill an entire film reel. Some things look a bit worn, and renovations are underway, but that's precisely what the guests who appreciate this place love: the absolute peace and quiet. If you're looking for a perfectly staged theme park, this isn't the place for you. But if you want to enjoy an hour of peace and quiet with your children and a few carrots, this is the perfect spot.

Feed is the biggest expense. Carrots start at around 20 baht, and larger sacks of carrots and grass are more expensive. At the time of publication, entry was free as the ticket booth was unmanned. Horse riding is available on site. It's best to come early in the morning or late in the evening rather than at midday, as the area is open and unshaded then. Bring a hat.
