Hua Hin-Swiss Sheep Farm

Swiss Sheep Farm


The Swiss Sheep Farm is located on a 20-rai plot in the bucolic countryside a few hours south of Bangkok. It makes a pleasant stop for students, couples, and families who wish to get right in there amongst the cuddly sheep, feed them some grass, or offer a bottle of milk to a little lamb Newly opened, the farm is a hodge-podge of Western icons, like something you might find along Route 66 in the southwestern US. An old Dodge site passively on the grounds in the shadow of a Dutch windmill. A bright red English phone booth tempts one to enter and call the culture police The Swiss Sheep Farm is located on the left side of Phetkasem Road – (Highway #4) at kilometer 201 when coming from Bangkok, just before the PTT station and not far from the fork in the road mentioned above; going straight leads you on to the bypass to Pranburi. The farm is open 10 am to 7 pm daily, with adults being charged 50 Baht and children 30 Baht to enter.
