Nice place to visit. Easy to go to. On a main road. Despite being on a busy road it was green and quiet. Interesting to see the origin and growth of thai dairy.
Went early and only 2 couples on the first trolley tour of the day. That meant we had more time to feed calves and ride a horse.
There was plenty of parking and if busy they had other parking areas. At the entrance there was parking, trolleys for tours, guard to help with directions and some building with ticket offices, souvenir shops, restrooms, benches and koi pond while waiting for the trolley.
First stop was the initial dairy barn from 1962, production area for milk, yogurt. Tour guide spoke Thai and English, explained the production process and pasteurization and UHT process. Also explained the origin of the Thai Denmark partnership and historical photos.
Then brief stop to explain turning old or excess milk into useful organic fertilizer. A stop at a barn with a couple of cows that everybody could learn to milk by hand and get some photos. After that the calf barn and feeding some of the young calves by hand with a bottle. The last stop was a an arena with a couple of horses and cowboy show. Had opportunity to participate with cracking a bull whip and could sit on a horse around the arena and get some photos.
Pleasant for anyone to visit. Kids especially or anybody that likes horses or cows. I grew up on a dairy farm and liked to see the history and what they do there. Also very glad as a daily milk drinker that the program has improved the daily availability of milk and yogurt. When I worked here decades earlier it was difficult to get milk. Even stores that sold it often had limited supply or even none as were often canceled due to not enough milk produced. Souvenir shop was OK for some refreshments but was hoping for more t-shirts, magnets...
Good for a couple of hours but there are several waterfalls and more close. Muak lek arboretum and waterfall...

The Thai-Danish Dairy Farm, a verdant oasis of bovine bliss, stands as a testament to what happens when Thailand and Denmark decide to collaborate on something other than furniture design. First, let's address the elephant in the room – or rather, the cow. These cows are not your average, run-of-the-mill, standing-around-chewing-grass type. Oh no, they've got a certain je ne sais moo about them.
Now, let me tell you about Biscuit, our beloved family dog, who accompanied us on this dairy-filled adventure. Biscuit, a creature who previously thought milk came from the refrigerated aisle, experienced an epiphany here. The moment she saw the endless supply of milk, his eyes widened with a mix of wonder and unbridled joy. It was as if she'd found his personal El Dorado, but instead of gold, it was all the dairy he could dream of.
As we toured the farm, witnessing the serene landscape peppered with contentedly grazing cows, Biscuit's enthusiasm reached levels previously thought impossible for a four-legged milk enthusiast. At one point, I’m sure she tried to negotiate a permanent move-in with a particularly friendly cow. His negotiations, however, were mostly just enthusiastic barking and tail wagging, which I believe translates to “I love milk, and I love you.”
The dairy products themselves? Sublime. It’s like each cow graduated from an Ivy League school of milk production. The cheese had a complexity that would make a sommelier weep, and the butter – oh, the butter – was so creamy and rich that I'm pretty sure it could be used as currency.
In conclusion, the Thai-Danish Dairy Farm is not just a place; it's an experience. It's where cows are poets, milk flows like a creamy river, and dogs like Biscuit contemplate the meaning of life in the presence of so much lactose.
Would recommend, especially if you have a dairy-obsessed pet. 105/135, would frolic in the...

We visited on a Friday afternoon and took the tour at around 2pm. There are fixed timings for public tours daily. Each ticket comes with a packet of UHT milk to drink while you wait in an air conditioned room for the tour vehicle to arrive
We learnt how to make fertiliser, toured the milk processing plant, experienced milking a cow, feeding calves, and ended off with a cowboy show.
Note that the factory tour is not suitable for elderly as there are stairs to climb and it’s quite a long walk, hence our grandmother had waited outside. However the cowboy show was simple and engaging, offering opportunities for audience participation, feeding and riding the horses at a very reasonable fee 50 baht.
Recommend taking a trip down!...
