Mini Murrah Farm

Mini Murrah Farm is a working dairy buffalo farm turned family day out in Ban Pho, Chachoengsao, roughly 1-1.5 hours east of Bangkok by car. It’s open daily, 9am to 6pm, with free entry — reviews as recent as early 2026 describe an active farm still running school and family groups through its usual routine.

The animals are the point: Murrah buffalo, ducks, geese, goats and rabbits that visitors can feed directly, plus a milking demonstration that shows how the farm’s buffalo milk gets from animal to product. Beyond feeding time, the farm runs paid workshops — making pizza and ice cream with its own buffalo milk, collecting duck eggs, and other short hands-on sessions aimed squarely at children rather than adults. One recurring visitor note worth knowing before you go: the geese and ducks are pushy around food and will crowd in for scraps, so keep a hand on younger kids’ snacks.

It suits young children specifically better than older kids or adults after a deeper look at Thai agriculture — the format is feed-the-animal, make-a-pizza, feed-more-animals rather than a guided farming lesson. That’s a real trade-off, not a criticism: if you’re bringing a toddler or primary-school-age child for a couple of hours outside the city, this delivers; if you want in-depth buffalo dairy production explained, it’s a lighter experience than that.

There’s no practical public transport route to the farm, so a self-drive or hired car is the only realistic way to get there — set aside 1-1.5 hours each way from Bangkok. Mornings tend to be more comfortable temperature-wise and see the animals more active before the midday heat. Wear closed-toe shoes for the uneven ground around the pens, and bring a hat.

Insider Tip: Go in the morning rather than afternoon — the buffalo and ducks are noticeably more active before the midday heat sets in, and the milking demonstration is usually easier to catch earlier in the day.

Watch out: The paid workshops (pizza-making, ice-cream-making) are separate add-ons to the free entry, not included automatically — check what’s on offer and the cost when you arrive if you want to join one.

For a fuller day in the province, pair it with Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan, Chachoengsao’s best-known temple back toward the provincial town.
