It is located in a mountainous area 400 meters above sea level. The entire farm covers an area of approximately 13 square kilometers. Singha Farm has a certain history. More than 20 years ago, the former king of Thailand visited Chiang Rai and saw poverty and backwardness and lack of employment opportunities, which caused most mountain farmers to grow opium poppies for a living. The king of Thailand was very worried and discussed the development plan of Chiang Rai with major Thai companies, and the Singha Group subsequently subscribed for the land.
People who have been to Thailand are no strangers to the three major beer brands Leo, Chang and Singha. The Singha Group is the planner, builder, and operation manager of Singha Farm. Initially, the Singha Group planted barley here and established a beer factory, which was not open to the outside world. It was not until 2012 that it was transformed into the current Singha Farm and opened to tourists.
The current Singha Farm has diversified crops. Strawberries, blueberries and tea are also exported to Europe, and the economic benefits are considerable; Singha Group is responsible for the research and development, investment, marketing and logistics of agricultural products, and the project employees and the community benefits from it. There is a processing plant on the farm, and the products are sold on the farm except for export.
