Wang Nam Yen Dairy Cooperative Limited

Wang Nam Yen Dairy Cooperative Limited is a working dairy farmers’ co-op in Wang Sombun district, Sa Kaeo, registered in 1987 with about 200 member farmers and roughly 1,000 cattle. The Tourism Authority of Thailand lists it under Farms & Agritourism; entry is free, daily 09:00-17:00.

What It Is

This is a cooperative in the literal sense — a legally registered body of dairy farmers who pool their milk for collection and processing, not a farm built for visitors. It has grown into one of Sa Kaeo’s larger dairy operations since its 1987 founding, with cattle barns and a processing facility on-site alongside member farms in the surrounding district. The Wangnamyen name now appears on its own branded milk and dairy products, sold through cooperative outlets in the area.

What To Expect

Because this is a working cooperative rather than a purpose-built attraction, what you can actually do on a visit isn’t standardised the way it is at a commercial farm-tour operator. TAT’s agritourism listing suggests visitors can walk the grounds and see the barns and processing buildings from the paths between them, but a confirmed guided-tour programme, milking demonstration, or on-site tasting counter isn’t something this page can verify from public sources — the cooperative’s own materials focus on its farming and processing operations rather than a visitor itinerary.

Practical Information

Insider Tip: Call ahead in Thai (0 3725 18623) or email it2010sk@gmail.com before making the trip out — as a working cooperative, activity on-site depends on milking and delivery schedules, not a fixed tourist timetable.

Watch out: Don’t expect an English-language visitor centre or posted tour times. If you don’t speak Thai, bring a translation app or a Thai-speaking companion for the call ahead.

The site is free to enter and open daily 09:00-17:00. It’s reached by car along the Chanthaburi-Sa Kaeo road in Wang Sombun district — there’s no public transport route aimed at tourists, so plan on driving yourself or arranging a driver from Sa Kaeo town.
