Welcome Chao Eco Farm Stay by Chef Nu
Chao Eco Farm Stay by Chef Nu invites travelers to slow down and experience Thailand’s traditional village life. Our small piece of land has been transformed with care to grow vegetables, raise fish, and make the very most of every square meter. You will breathe clean air, taste pesticide-free produce, and feel the warmth of a real community while still enjoying the familiar comfort of European countryside vibes through our wood-fired pizza—crafted with the same flavor and quality as at our four Chao restaurant branches.
Our Philosophy: Growing by the King’s Footsteps
The farm follows the late King Rama IX’s Sufficiency Economy principles. We cultivate diverse crops, recycle water, turn organic waste into compost, and integrate fish ponds with vegetable gardens so every element supports another. From a small plot of soil we create abundant life, good food, and a shared place for learning.
Farm-to-Table by Chef Nu
Chef Nu cooks with what the farm gives each day. Guests enjoy seasonal salads, Thai country dishes, and oven-fresh breads and pies made from our own herbs and vegetables. The highlight is our wood-fired pizza, topped with just-picked produce and baked to a crisp, smoky perfection that rivals any branch of Chao.
Rooms & Atmosphere
Our farm-stay rooms are simple, clean, and surrounded by gardens, ponds, and fruit trees. Wake to birdsong and a soft morning breeze. Spend your afternoons on a shaded terrace with tea or an iced coffee. Evenings glow with the scent of wood smoke from the pizza oven and the sound of crickets across the fields.
Experiences & Activities
Guests join daily farm life in a hands-on and meaningful way. You can harvest vegetables with our team and learn why mixed farming keeps the soil alive. You can help feed fish in the ponds and understand closed-loop water use. You can shape and bake your own wood-fired pizza under Chef Nu’s guidance. You can try Thai rice planting in season and walk the village lanes to meet our neighbors. Families can enjoy gentle cycling, pond dipping for aquatic life, or a sunset picnic by the fields.
Community Learning Center
The farm is also a living classroom. We host school groups and youth programs to inspire practical skills and a love of rural life. Children learn how to plant kitchen-garden vegetables and discover where food truly comes from. They try rice planting and understand the journey from seed to bowl. They make pizza from scratch and practice small-business basics such as planning, costs, and teamwork. Every visit ends not only with a great meal but with new confidence and curiosity.
Sample One-Day Plan
Arrive in the late morning and enjoy a welcome drink made with herbs from our garden. Walk the farm with our guide and learn how the ponds nourish the beds and the compost feeds the soil. Harvest seasonal vegetables and collect eggs if available. Join a wood-fired pizza workshop with Chef Nu and savor your creation at a long farm table. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the pond or cycling to the village. Close the day with a simple countryside dinner and a stargazing moment before bedtime.
