Strawberry Town, Rayong

Fresh strawberries growing in tropical Thailand might seem impossible, but Strawberry Town in Rayong proves otherwise. This agricultural attraction transforms the traditional image of Thailand’s fruit landscape, showcasing how modern farming techniques create perfect conditions for these delicate berries to thrive year-round. Visitors can pick their own strawberries directly from the plants, experiencing something completely different from typical beach destinations that dominate this coastal province.

Walking through the carefully maintained rows of strawberry plants, you’ll discover various picking zones where plump, red berries hang ready for harvest. The sweet aroma of ripe fruit fills the air as you bend down to select the perfect specimens, while the controlled environment maintains optimal growing conditions. Beyond strawberry picking, many farms offer additional activities like fruit processing workshops where you can learn to make jam or smoothies. Some locations feature small cafés serving strawberry-themed treats, from ice cream to pastries, all made with freshly picked fruit.

Children’s laughter echoes through the greenhouse structures as families enjoy this hands-on agricultural experience together. The atmosphere combines the excitement of discovery with the satisfaction of harvesting your own food, creating connections between visitors and sustainable farming practices. Parents appreciate the educational value while kids delight in eating berries straight from the plant, their faces often stained red with juice and wide with smiles.

Plan your visit during cooler morning hours when berries taste sweetest and picking conditions are most comfortable. The farms are accessible by car from Rayong city center, though public transportation options may be limited. Bring a hat and comfortable shoes suitable for walking on farm paths. Most facilities provide containers for your picked berries, but bringing your own bag ensures you can transport your harvest safely back to your accommodation.
